Civil Introd 6
In the current system no such account is ever
taken – no such words as pain and pleasure
or pathological effects ever occurr – no such ideas
as those respectively signified by those terms are
ever distinctly referred to or brought to view. On
No account is taken, no mention is made of human
feelings. The words pathology, pathological effects
as applied to this subject are altogether new. Thus
use of them has never hitherto extended beyond spread itself be confined exclusively the
department field of medicine: as if mind were less not susceptible
of pain than body: as if it were not as much
the business of the legislator to prevent wounds, as of
the surgeon to cure them: as if it were less incumbent
upon the legislator to bend his attention shew upon the purpose to the
pains and pleasures that may be produced or not produced, prevented
or not prevented, according to the turn course which
they respectively give pursue in the exercise of their respective
arts: as if in the one instance any more than
in the other any thing would be worth attending to thinking about
were it not for pain and pleasure, as if in the one stance any more than in the
other any thing were worth attending to in its
own account but pain and pleasure.
