Pleasant is this
feeling, even when
no physical enjoyment,
how remotely so ever,
is in prospect
Witness chess and
other games of skill
Signal are the uses Be the subject matter field of vision what it
may, signal are the uses of comprehensive views. In
proportion to their extent they produce the feeling of intellectual
power 16 (Not to speak of power in other shapes) pleasant is that feeling, even when
no physical enjoyment in any shape is contemplated
or so much as the a possible consequence of it:
witness the game of chess, and other games of skill,
in which neither money nor moneys worth is looked to
as the reward of victory.

Ulterior use, after
conception of the material relations
of the objects and the
means of maximizing
beneficial, and minimizing
maleficial properties
17. This momentary use is but the introduction — as it were
the portal to [the] [more] enduring uses. Through the
medium of it is obtained obtainable at pleasure a more and
more correct, clear and comprehensive conception
of the relations that have place between every one
of the objects and every other: and, be the subject matter what it may [he by whom is
possessed in possession of the knowledge and] he who having to whom, in addition
to the any such properties of it as with reference to the person
in question are beneficial, and such as are maleficial together
with the means of obtaining the effects of the one
and escaping from those of the other, are known the mutual
relations by which the one is assimilated, and those by
which it is distinguished from the other, knows as much
as is worth knowing in both of them in them both.
