27.
In J.B.'s mind, the word
utility is associated with
happss. principle, owing
to the use made of it
by Hume & Helvetius,
also Horace.

became originally and for so great a length of time continued to
be associated with the idea at present expressed by
denominatn. the greatt. happs. principle.
The works of Hume & Helvetius were, in these
the idea was originally blended in his mind. But
various passages of classical writers were eagerly embraced
as they happened to present themselves & contributed to
strengthen the hold taken by it.
says Horace: by these words this principle
was laid down in form as furnishd the science of
morals & judicature.
