Of whatever nature a Pleasure be: a
Pleasure of the Body, or a Pleasure of the
mind: [] a pleasure of enjoyment, a
pleasure of possession, or a pleasure of expectation:
a pleasure of the concupiscible appetite,
or a pleasure of the irascible, if it exist, two things
if it exist, it must exist under two dimensions it must possess: It must have intensity, and
it must have continuance duration: the result product
of both may be called it's magnitude. Tis the Cause that is the Band of connection between Pleasures & Pleasures between sensation and sensation
What we shall have to say of any pleasure in the
present chapter will be found equally to belong
to all: and as it is the same with respect
to Pain. and so is it with Pains.

Duration Again, the time it lasts it is either of long or short: continuance hence we

4.

Belong to all This is the case with every pleasure: to exist
it must possess two things: it must possess
intensity: it must possess duration.

5.

Dimensions of Body Body to exist, must in like manner possess
three things. Length, breadth and thickness.
under these it is contained: by these it is comprized: these constitute it's
magnitude: in respect of these it is said to be great or small:
by these it is measured: Mathematicians call them it's dimensions.
"Dimensions" comes from "dimetion".
Dimetion" is to measure.

6.

Dimensions of Pleasure. Of Mathematicians Let us borrow of them their term appellation: and let us say.
Pleasure also is comprized exists under two dimensions: intensity
and duration.

7.

Number Thus much far with respect to Pleasure consider'd
in single persons: but we have to consider
it in a State. A State consists of a num-
