1829. June. Article on Utilitarianism.

N.B. The pages referred to
are the pages of the original copy.

42. - p.20.

To a sense of connection
between new signs &
new things signified,
or utility of D0. especially
ideas none so active as
J.B. This no secret to
"thrones, & hence in
their opposition to him
they are as industrious
as in causing base
coin to be distrusted.

G45.

43. - p.21.

Virtue, vice, justice, injuste.
intelligible only when referred
to one of these
three principles, 1.st.
happiness. 2. asceticism
3. ipsedixitism. Explanation
of these three
principles already given.
Ipsedixitism pursued
by disciples of Pythagoras.

H1.

44. - p.21.

J.B. wd. now substitute
in his Introdn. the principle
of ipseditism for that
of sympathy & antipathy:
it may be said to have
two branches, one applying
to civil the other to
penal law : to the
remanatory branch
only does it apply.

H1.

45. - p.22.

Virtue & Vice, one conduces
to happiness the other to
unhappiness : adjunct
to virtue self-denial
i.e. sacrifice of present
good to supposed future
do. Such sacrifice
scarcely ever
made: ex. pleasures
of sense in general.

H2

46. - p.22.

But if a man has his
desires so under control
that the sacrifice
causes no uneasiness,
will you say his virtue
is on a lower
level in his mental
frame because this
is no self-denial?

H2

47. - p.23.

No room to speak of
distinction between
effective benevolence
& self-regarding prudence.
J.B.'s Private
Deontology - what.

H43

48. p.24

In opposition to happiness
principle is
justice a subordinate
of ipsedixit principle.
Assumptions 1. that
justice is the proper
standard 2 that so
& so is one of its dictates.

I1.

49. - p.24

An exemplification of
rebellion against the Sovereignty
of this principle
in Godwin's Politl. Juste.
A use in shewing the relation
of the import whh.
justice bears to gt. haps.
principle.

I1.

50. p.25.

In employing word justice
2 assumptions, 1. that it is
the general rule of forceaction
laid down by competent
authority, 2. that
whatever is meant by rectitude
& propriety, this rule
is a proper one : take any
maxim of justice & apply
it so that justice will be done.
It will be found that a dictate
of happss. prince. is the same
thing as do. of justice.

I2.

51. - p.25.

To have a clear idea of it
justice must be divided into
civil & penal.

I2.

52. - p.25.

All-important principle in
civil justice according to
J.B. is the non-disappointmt.
principle - See Review of Humphreys.

I2.

53. - p.26.

In the penal branch a different
aspect - Object minimizatn.

classed 4 heads by J.B. preventive
suppressive, satisfactive
& punitive.

I3.

54. - p.27.

found out some years ago:
apparent clearness & correctness,
really the reverse.

remaining 2000.

K1

56. - p.28.

Instd. of the happiness taken

of receiving more
unhappiness than happs.

K2.

57. p.28.

The 4001 being equal in all respects
make the 2000 slaves & divide
them among the 2001 - will
the happiness of the whole be increased?

K2.
