1817 JB's Springs of Action.
In 1817 came out Mr. Bentham's little tract entitled "Springs
of Action," whh. is composed of a pretty extensive Table explained
& elucidated by Notes. In his "Introd. to Mors. & Legisn." he had
brought view the several Motives by which human action in
all its modifications is produced: these motives being accompanied
and explained by the several correspondent
pleasures & pains: a motive being nothing but the fear of
some pain, in the event of a certain mode of action
which accordingly the will is urged to avoid; or the hope
of a certain pleasure, which accordingly the will is
urged to put the individual in question in a condition
to experience. In this Table for the first time a third
list of Interests was added, to wit a list of Interests
was added to the two former lists: each motive had in the
first work been explained by its connexion with the
correspondent pain or pleasure: now in this second
work each interest is explained by its connection with
the correspondent pain or pleasure as also with the
correspondent motive. By this means if the list of pains
& pleasures is complete so also is the list of motives: &
if the list of pains & pleass. in conjunction with the
list of motives is complete so also is the list of
interests: each of these words contributes to give precision
& fixity to the import of every other. To these indications
given of these three sorts of psychological entities if so
they may be termed, is added that of a fourth sort, namely
desires: between motives & desires the only difference being
that by the word motive preference is given made to some
correspondent mode of action to the production of whh.
it is represented as conducive: an indication whh. is
not given by the word desire.

Dyslogistic & Eulogistic
names exhibited by J.B.
In the construction of this Table an observation whh.
Mr. Bentham found occasion to make is that of a
sentiment of approbation or disapprobation, which in the
case of almost every sort of desire had become attached to
the name of it. Hence in most instances for each desire
a sentiment of approbation; another in which a sentiment of
disapprobation, was thus superadded; a third by which
no other idea was excited than that of the desire, clear
of both those opposite addituments. Having made observation of the
