has been termed the principle of sympathy and antipathy, not
uniformly opposite to the principle of utility, but independent
of it, and on that account liable occasionally to run
counter to it. To so many modifications of this, considered This as applied to substantive, correspond so the several maxims or principles –
maxims constituted of so many caprthe observance of which is of the ends here called
capricious ends, as applied to adjective law.
