If certain Some Philosophers have thought right that of all there
the are pleasures that can be assigned there are none
but what have the pleasures of the body for
their ultimate foundation
there are no pleasures how much superior in themselves to the pleasure of the body but have their source
in the pleasures of the body: according to this
System all pleasures that are would come
within the foregoing division — they are either
immediately pleasures of the body — pleasures derived
from the possession of instruments capable fit to
of produce pleasures of the body pleasures of possession or pleasures
consisting from derived the expectation of possessing such instruments —
pleasures of expectation

This seems at least probable to those who
agree to Locke's proposition opinion of the non-existence
of innate ideas: it seems a necessary branch
of that opinion: tho' perhaps upon accurate
inspection it may be found to be otherwise.

If there are no pleasures purely of the mind
This division will take in all the pleasures
that there are — pleasures of enjoyment pleasures of the body —
pleasures of the mind consisting in the expectation
of pleasures of the body

If there are pleasures which take their are of the
seat in the mind's own growth, which
start up and take their seat in it without
having enter'd in at the great vestibules
of the bodily senses, this division will
still serve also for them 1 pleasures of
enjoyment, pleasures of the mind: 2. pleasures
of expectation, pleasures also of the mind.

Whether there are such or no
The question is interesting. but in this place we must
be content to have it as we found it.
In a System of Ethics it would be the 1st
enquiry. It would there be the business
to search out to enumerate to class to aestimate every
species that can be distinguished. But what
we are now sketching + + The subject we are now upon is Jurisprudence is a System of Jurisprudence.

Let us now speak now of pains.
