Happiness as well as Unhappiness is the
aggregate of a number of Sensations.
Sensations, are either painful or pleasurable: that is they are either Pains
or Pleasures.
Pleasures are either Pleasures of the Body or Pleasures
of the mind.
Pleasures of the Body may be termed pleasures of Enjoyment
Pleasures of the Mind are either Pleasures of Expectation
or pleasures of Possession. [Those] things Material objects whereby an
Enjoyment, The bodily organ which is affected with which is the seat of the in through which the enjoyment is perceived,
enjoyment may be termed, the internal instrument of enjoyment
The object, by which affects enjoyment is excited in the organ with enjoyment, may be
stiled the external instrument of enjoyment.
Pleasures of the Mind are either Pleasures of bare Expectation
or pleasures of Possession.

Pleasures of the Mind originate in those of the Body.In the Sum of Happiness throughout life if we were to compare
that part of it which is contributed by the pleasures
of the mind, it is probable we should find the latter to
contribute by much the largest share.

At the same time it must be acknowledged that the latter
have no other than the former for their foundation. Take any
pleasure of the mind whatever for an example, and trace it

Class of the pleasures of the body. Suppose that class away.
and we shall find that the other never would have had
existence. This is no more than a consequence or rather a
branch of the grand proposition made manifest by Locke
that our ideas all originate from the senses.
paragraph
Those instances in respect to which the proposition truth of the it is least
obvious, and consequently most liable to dispute, are
what such as Law has little or nothing at all to do with. The
pleasure of serving a friend or voluntarily relieving a
stranger in distress, it is not for the Law either to give or
take away. Pleasures of this sort enter not into its calculations:
It is very rarely, and very indirectly, if at all, that they are neither either promoted nor thwarted by its
operations.
