Proportioned to the number of those whose interest is endeavoured
to be served in preference to all others, will under every
form of government be the number of those whose interest is
thus endeavoured to be preferably promoted.
[It is a great error to suppose that because the greatest happiness
of the greatest number ought every where to be the end of government,
the greatest happiness of the greatest number is every
where or even any where the end of government: that because
the greatest happiness of those over whom powers the powers of government is exercised ought
to be the end pursued by those by whom the powers of government
are exercised the greatest happiness of those over whom the
powers of government are exercised are is every where or even
any where the end pursued by those by whom the powers of
government are exercised. The end pursued by those by
whom the powers of government are exercised is every where
the greatest happiness of those by whom the powers of government
are exercised. The happiness interest which on this occasion
as on all others, each man pursues to the endeavours to promote in preference if
not to the exclusion, of all others, in his own happiness interest.]
