J. B gave these
ideas to a noble
friend in a situatn.
to give them practical effect;
no such visible
result in consequence.
These ideas Mr. Bentham, at one time,
took upon him to submit, in black and white,
to a noble friend, whose situation at one time
might have made them productive of effect on
practice: but from this comparatively inconsiderable
part, as from so many other parts of his labours,
no visible effect has been produced, nor in black
and white, till now, any mention appeared.

To a sense of connection
between new signs &
new things signified, or
utility of do., especially
ideas, none so active as
J. B. This no secret to
thrones, etc.: hence, in
their opposition to
him they are as
industrious, as in causing
base coin to be
distributed trusted.
To a sense of the intimacy of the
connection on the one hand between novelty in
signs and novelty in things signified, on the other
hand between novelty of ideas signified, and utility
of the things signified — more particularly, especially
where these things are ideas, nobody, perhaps, has as
yet been so fully active as Mr. Bentham. Hence
his industry, in the endeavor to turn these same
relations to account. Nor of these same relations
has the importance been altogether a secret to the
thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers,
whom, in their character of anti-utilitarians,
(anti-utilitarians: alias enemies of reform and
improvement in the most important walks of
life), he had to contend with accordingly — the labour industry
applied employed by them in procuring distrust and rejection,
for the base metal of the foundery of a
malefactor, has had it's counterpart in that employed
in procuring the like reception for the stirling
productions of the laboratory of this philanthropist.
