Of the Principle of Utility
T A reader who comes new fresh to the subject, and
untinctured with any technical prejudics will would be
apt I imagine to wonder how this principle a principle like this the
principle of utility should ever have lain unobserved:
how when once observed it should ever after have been
neglected, much more how it should ever have ever been opposed:
[in short] how any other should ever have been
set up: and of what nature such other could possibly have
been. They He would conceive it impossible that any
writer either on morals or what is called natural
Jurisprudence should ever have neglected or opposed it: and if
compelled by force the of evidence of their his eyes to acknowledge
that such writers have existed, their his next wonder
would be what it is their speculations writing — shoul could be
made up consist of.
Of moralists it does not fall in the
way of the present design to take any special notice.
any farther than just to observe that it is to the
open opposition or neglect they with which they
[+] correct [+] the generality of them have
in general treated this principle, that their works has are held
in such general and deserved neglect, and are acknowledged
to be of so little so use for the guidance of men in
of either their political public or or p domestic conduct.
Of writers in universal [natural] and legal Jurisprudence it may
be worth while on this occasion to take some [short]
farther notice "notice to be changed: just as much as may be necessary to satisfy
the incredulous that this principle has been been both
neglected and opposed, and that by writers of the greatest eminence:
