The attributes of
purity & fecundity, ascribed
by J. B. to pains
& pleasures, remarked
upon.
J.F.C.
Speaking of a mixture of pleasure as giving impurity to pain,
as well as a mixture of pain as giving impurity to pleasure
Mr Bentham exposed himself to the charge of paradox: purity
not being commonly used in any other than where in
his language is a dyslogistic sense: in which sense case
a proposition speaking with approbation of the supposed addition of supposed
to be made of pleasure when the pain is spoken of as
impure would be a self contradictory one. It looks as if
when composing these verses, of which some will say
as it was said of Pope's pastorals that if not poetry they are
something better he had in his mind's eye the passage in
Lillys in the Westminster Grammar in which purity
and impurity are applied to letters. Letera, so praecut
vocales, pura vocatur [leu reus: impura est, praecut
si consona, con rusi: it is to the letter in that these two
opposite qualities are ascribed in the two cases. Purely
neutral (it need scarce be said) was the sense in which
he found both these words purity and impurity both of them employed
in these part of the so elaborately constructed and labour-saving
specimens of didactic metre. The genius of Lilly
manifested itself in giving personality to plurals letters & parts of speech, as that of
Davison did afterwards in giving bestowing the same attribute in
plants: "too happy mankind, had legal lawyer's fictions been
as innoxious as these grammatical ones!
