But this declaration of mine what chance has it
of being followed by such its intended effect?
Answer this will depend upon two very different circumstances:
1. upon the influence which my the knowledge
of my the state of my opinion and accordingly
of my affections with the causes grounds of those opinions
and the cause of those affections my happen to exercise
on the opinions and affections of the members of the public at
large in their quality of members of the tribunal
so as above constituted and composed.
2. Upon the degree in which putting in virtue of his
individual temperament partly in virtue of the
situation which it happens to him to occupy [on say
mankind] the individual to whose cognizance it
may happen to the declaration in question the present
itself happens to occupy in the assembly so composed.
Now the principle a ding consideration by
which in on each occasion such my opinions and
affections will be determined — what this is I will
know. It is the principle of general utility [taken
in its censorial sense] the principle which on the
occasion of every action taken for the measure of
right and wrong, of approbation and disapprobation
its influence on the tendency to contribute towards
the maximum of public happiness the greatest act happiness
of the greatest number of the individuals whose
happiness is in any way or degree at stake upon it.
