§.2. Object or say end in view of this work

1
Now as to diffusion
in contradistinction
to advancement

1. I now proceed to the second mentioned of the two topics.
Of this present work the special end in view is — maximization
of the diffusion of posology, in contradistinction to
that of the advancement of it

2
Diffusion is as the
number of the persons
to whom the theory
is communicated

2. Diffusion In this case Of this as of every other
branch of art-and-science, diffusion is as by diffusion of it understand addition made the number of the persons
to whom the matter of it is communicated, or say in whose
minds the matter of it

3
Advancement is as
the quantity of the
information communicated.

3. By advancement of it understand addition made
to the quantity of the matter of information contained in it
and planted in the minds of those in [in which it
finds the greatest quantity planted already in which the
greatest quantity of it is found already planted.

4
Reasons of the preference
of diffusion
1. Addition to happiness
greater for
to unapplied posology advancement
may to any amount
be given, without
addition to happiness.

4 4 Why to diffusion do I thus give the preference over
advancement? Answer.. 1. Because in this way it is that
the greatest addition is made to the stock of human happiness.
To posology unapplied posology Without any such addition to happiness advancement
may be given to any amount: not so to diffusion it can not so
long as in any part of the matter there is any use

5
II. To advancement
much invention genius has
been successfully applied; to diffusion,
little.

5 2, To the advan business of advancement inventive genius
has been and continues to be applying itself with splendid success, to large amount: to the
business of diffusion, comparatively speaking, as yet to very small amount
and to the maximization of happiness is applied every
of graphical motion of the hand by which these lines are
tracing:— principles applied — the greatest happiness principle.
