Difficult as it may be found to object to what this is
above, impossible consistently with consistency, few, it
is believed are those who, at the present existing stage in
the career of civilization, in the existing state of the
public mind will bring themselves to accede to it.
Few will indeed perhaps will be found sturdy enough to maintain
that all physical good is moral, or to deny not to admitt, that pleasure
is of itself a good thing or at least is capable of being made so,
or to take upon themselves to find for happiness any other
materials than such as are without impropriety perceptible of the name of
pleasure.
But on this occasion what most a condition that
generally speaking most men insists upon is that of choosing for every other man he
shall what shall be his pleasure, or at least any rate that no
man shall have the choosing of his own pleasures, but
that f be this or that source of pleasure ever so much to his taste
he shall at the pleasu shall leave it that task to other people.
The object of his desire is not a pleasure: being a
pleasure it is an unlawful, an improper one,
either of those phrases bestowed by any man upon what any other man
regards and would be glad wish to enjoy in the character of a
pleasure, is looked upon considered as sufficient to cover
the supposed pleasure with merited odium and operate
as conclusive evidence of depravity on the part in the breast of any
one to whom under the fiction of its being a pleasure it is the object of desire
one by whom the object of whose desire it would notwithstanding
but for their Disproof br
