pains & pleasures separately defined, - & regularly grouped - and the
classification & definition of them is so complete for all ordinary
of moral & legislative investigation that Mr Bentham has
found little to modify, - or to add to in the list. By the side of
the pains & the pleasures the corresponding motives are brought to
