But in both Horace & Phædrus the mention of Utility
as a motive to conduct appears rather accidental than otherwise
Neither of them app seems to have understood the value & importance
of the principle doctrine they he
put forward — In neither case does it occupy
the position of a great & important principle — It was
adopted by no sect — it was avowed followed — worshipped by no votaries
It was wholly in an embryo state — It had no influential —
no presiding power — it had not obtained a place in the
Elysian fields among these aphorisms, written in letters of light
which Æneas found Anchises passing under review. Unvalued
& unheeded it remained — like the Aristotelian truth which dropped by chance from the heedless pen of Aristotle that
all ideas have their origin in the senses — two magnificent
principles where consequences were hidden from the perception
of many, — many generations. Locke
