5 Of the Principle of Utility. INTROD . Ch. I

ought to be the end of legislative policy, what motive has the
community to pursue it?

This then is the postulatum I set out with. To enable
me to apply it with advantage it will be necessary before
I enter upon the particular subject of Punishment Correct, to perform go
through
the following [tasks] operations: ][1st, [+] [+] to distinguish the several sources from whence Pain and Pleasure are in use to flow :][ 2dto mark out
and describe the several species of pains and pleasures
I shall have occasion to distinguish:][3dly, to shew how the
value of a pain or pleasure is to be measured: ][4thly, to
point out how such value may in every case be expressed.
[4, to mark out, as well as can be done by
words, the limits between pain and pleasure.
] 5.thly [ to shew
the various proportions in which pain or pleasure, according
as they are applied may be made are apt to follow from
the operations which are their causes:][to shew how it is that the same instrument
(money) may according <add>to the circumstances in which </add> [as] it is disposed of applied produce different degrees
of pain or pleasure. sixthly, toby
</del> by enumerateing the causes of
the different degrees of sensibility that are observable among
men . To this I shall add as a matter of curiosity rather
than necessity ,7.<hi rend='superscript'>thly
</hi> the assigning to Jurisprudence or
the science of Government it's station in the general mass
of knowledge</del> traced out upon the principle of utility.. and 8thly - what is more to the purpose ,
the to 6thly I shall mark out the station occupied by the business of Punishment it's station in the general
map or Plan of Jurisprudence. These several operations enquiries will form the business
of as many chapters.
