Mr Bentham has mentioned that in all his pursuits &
enquiries one idea was constantly operating on his mind. If
Bacon with his "Experimentalize!" was justly honored for doing
more than any man who had proceeded him for the diffusion of
physical the philosophy of physics, - Mr Bentham's ever-present maxim was,
"Observe!" - for the advancement of the philosophy of morals.
The phenomena of the natural material world not only as
only they presented themselves but also as they could
be made to present themselves together with the
relations in the way of cause & effect that appeared
to have place between them might without
reserve (so as injury to persons and things were avoided)
be taken for subjects of experiment as well as observation
when applied to the material world: in the
case of moral & political science the proper subject matters
whatsoever
of observation were pains & pleasures as they respectively
resulted from the several modifications
of which human conduct or say human agency is susceptible.
Without reserve these might be taken for
subject matters of observation: but not without great
reserve and caution for subjects of experiment:
especially in the case where the institution institutor of the
experiment is any other person that the sovereign
or a person or persons constituted for the purpose
in authority under him. Accordingly it is by the observation
of the occasions on which, and shapes in
which pain & pleasure result from the modes of
agency respectively productive of them - pains more
especially - that Mr. Bentham grounds deduces his the quantity and quality of the
applications he proposes
in the character
of remedies for the
evils which actions
of the maleficent class
may be seen to bring in
their train: and while
the graphic pencil is
kept employed in the
delineation of their respective
qualities or form forms
scales with weights &
measures must are at the
same time be kept employed
in giving intimation of
their respective quantities.
