9 Of the Principle of Utility
T A reader who comes new fresh to the subject , and
with any technical prejudics will would be
apt I imagine to wonder how this principle a principle like this the
principle of utility should ever have lain unobserved :
how when once observed it should ever after have been
neglected , much more how it should ever have ever been opposed :
[in short] how any other should ever have been
set up : and of what nature such other could possibly have
been . They He would conceive it impossible that any
writer either on morals or what is called natural
Jurisprudence should ever have neglected or opposed it : and if
compelled by force the of evidence of their his eyes to acknowledge
that such writers have existed , their his next wonder
would be what it is their speculations writing — shoul could be
made up consist of.
