1831 April 28 May 1
J.B. on Registration a Pannomion or Penal Code(3)

☞ May 12 1831. Employ not this about
Principles – Rules &c

Ends in view – means

Principles, rules, reasons, axioms, means – positive propositions, on the present as on so many other occasions,
all these relatively related terms being in use or liable to be called into view
it may be of use to give determinateness and fixity to their
respective imports.

By the word rule appears to be commonly understood
that which by grammarians is termed a sentence by logicians A Rule, is in the grammatical sense a sentence,
in the sense a proposition on by logicians by which a declaration
is made of that something which is, or of that which ought to be
in other words of that something which in the conception of the him
whose declaration it is, has existence, is of that something
which is regarded by him with approbation, something by the
contemplation of which a sensation of a pleasanter kind
is produced.

A The rule by which according to my conception, on this
occasion, as on every other, the conduct of persons in authority
ought according to my conception, ought to be
taken and continues on that course of notice
by which in the general community in question the greatest
contribution to happiness will be produced.

Note here that by happiness is meant, relation
had to any given length of time, the the greatest
the same or other of the or say aggregate of the powers pleasures experiment
during that deduction made of the any
quantity of f the amount of any pains experienced during
that same length of time. Take No otherwise
than by the relation which the import of it bears to the import of the
several words pain and pleasure can the word happiness
be understood – amount to anything but in insignificant

.

So likewise the word interest taken in the sense in
which on those occasions it is commonly employed.
