Mean time great as were its merits in
several important respects, ample as was the contributn
made by it to the stock of substantial & practical art
& science, beauty was still the stock of denominations
devised by the French philosopher for the purpose of
giving expressn to the various universally-experienced
modifications of pain & please. To give to this stock if
not absolute completeness at any rate a degree of
plenitude not much short of it was reserved for
a later period, of whh presently.
In the year appeared the work of
Davd Hartley, Doctor of Physic, known by the short title
of "Hartley on Man", It came out of the hands of the
author in two volumes actours: whh two vols. were
in an edition some years afterwds published by Dr
Priestly by eliminatn made of a quantity of useless,
or, to use a quaint appellative once in vogue, quisquilious
matter reduced to one. In this work of Dav. Hartley's
a great number of species were, it is believed, ranked
under the two genera of pain & and pleasure than are to
be found in the work of Helvetius. Still however it
was far from being all-comprehensive : far widely
far from being adequate to the demand whh the
applicatn of this branch of art & science to the purpose
of giving direction to the human conduct in the
several walks of life public as well as private is
continually presenting : as will be seen when in the
work already alluded to comes to be distinctly brought
to view.
Between the years 1762 & 69 came out a pamphlet
of Dr Priestley's written as usual with him currente calamo
& without any precise method pre-determined but containg
at the close of it, it is believed in the very last page, in
so many words the phrase the great<hi rend="superscript">t happ<hi rend="superscript">ss of the grt
number, and this was stated in the character of a principle
constituting not only a rational foundation of all
enactments of legislation and all rules & precepts destined
for the direction of human conduct in private life.
