Names by which the
principle has been
designated, in many
points inappropriate.
To the diffusion of the system on the reception & adoptn. of whh.
the maximum of happiness in the whole human species not to mention
others is so inseparably and incontrovertiably dependent, it happens, rather
unfortunately, that the several denomination, by which, at different
times, it came to be designated were was in many points so
far from being an apt one.

18.
Prin. of uty.
expressiveness of the
term
At first, the name was the principle of utility. here the fault
was that, by the expression thus employed, not the idea meant
to be conveyed but one widely different from it was in fact
at all times liable to be conveyed, and to an inconsiderable
extent actually conveyed: and of this mistaken a in discourse one bad a practice
was the causing that drawing down to a correspondent extent
the sentiment of disapprobation upon the opinion in the reception
of whh. all the good that cd. be produced by the disseminatn. of the
principle depended.

19.
The word regarded as
calling for approbatn.
of every measure
contributing to an
end whatever that
end be.
To the extent in question, the principle of utility, was, in a word
regarded, as above, (look at the anterior passage referred to) by
whh. approbation was called for by every opinion or operation by whh.
a contribution was made to this or that end, whatsoever might
be the nature of that end: the _____ of it, being regarded as
the principe by whh. approbation is called for, for such measures
also alone as are contributory to human happiness taken in the aggregate,
fixed the maximum of the happiness enjoyed by the
aggregate composed of the several members of whh. the in
question is composed.

20.
Consequence of the
mistake -- disapprobatn.
supposed to
be called for to the
pursuit of pleasure.
Of this mistake one consequence was that of its being a
principle by whh. disapprobation was called for th the pursuit of
please., to every action by means of whh. please. was either at
the moment produced, or a probability of _____ it at a future
time produced: whereas in the intentn. of the originator of it, if
such he may be stiled. the same sentient of approbatn. is
called for every action without distinctn. of whh. please. in any
shape, at the moment or any subsequent moment is produced,
such opportunity being given on the single condition that by
such action, pain or loss of please. to a greater amount
be not produced. Thus on every occasion, happiness is in
his view of considering it a subject matter of account &
calculation, of profit endless, _____ many itself is —
that matter which had for the happiness whh.
it is contributory to the production of wd. be altogether
valueless.

21.
Substitutn. of the
name of grt. happ.
prin. to that of prin.
of uty.
It was not till within these few years, in consequence of
closer & closer and ever important scrutiny to whh. mankind
has is been indebted for his discoveries w that Mr. Bentham
arrived at last at the perception that in the same phrase
the great. happs. of ye. greatt. number tastes a source of
misconception. The _____ certain were lost in
communication of it to all such persons whose situatn. happened to
