Commencement of
In Helvetius' Esprit
commencement of
practical application
Not long before or after this time came out
in French the then and still so highly celebrated
work of Helvetius entitled "Sur l'esprit". In this
work a commencement was made of the application
of the principle of utility to practical use:- to the
direction of human conduct, in the ordinary course
of life: a connection was formed between the
idea attached to the word happiness and again
between the idea attached to the word happiness
and the ideas respectively attached to the words
pleasure & pain. To several pleasures whh.
as yet had been without a "local habitatn.
and a name" both those appendages were now
& thus attributed: attached to the words utility
& principle of utility were now ideas in abundance-
ideas which could not but be continually
present & familiar to the most inattentive unobservant
& scantily-instructed minds.

For pains & pleasures
scanty stock of denominations
devised
by Helvetius
Mean time great greatest as were its merits in
several important respects ample as was the contribution
made by it to the stock of substantial
and practical art & science scanty 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 & pleasure. 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 which presently.
