Means in a word employed to denote
any substance, state of things, or motion considered
as contributing to the attainment of the good which
in that same occasion is regarded as an end
Pleasures and exemptions from pain with
their rellative correlatives happiness and exemption from
unhappiness are the ultimate ends, and of every
sensitive being the only ultimate ends of action. —
As between good and evil, good alone

of the ultimate end the net maximum of happiness —
and accordingly by men in general, and by men in
the situation of legislators in particular, employed
in that view and for that purpose —
Of Good or evil one and the same portion
is capable of acting on one and the same occasion
in the character of an end and in that of a means: —
of a means in relation to some antecedent end or
state of things or motion; of an end in relation
to some eventually subsequent state of things
or motionRemedy

composed of links in indefinite number and taken
in the aggregate of the correspondent length

so much for good and evil — both of them employed as means and the only means
employable for the attainment of that end. But what is a law and what
are laws themselves. — Before this is explained must be brought to view
that species of matter which on each occasion is occupied in passing
