XI. Epoch the eleventh 1822.
Codification Proposal.

XI Epoch the tenth. eleventh. Year 1822: date of the publication,
intituled Codification Proposal &c. In this publication
for the first time, to the words "greatest happiness"
addition is made of the words "of the greatest number"
and of each of the several arrangements proposed, averment
is made that "the greatest happiness of the greatest
"number requires" etc: and then those languages abovementioned
— that of utility, that of happiness, and that of pains
and pleasures are brought together, and rendered and throroughly
explained by each other: indication at the same time given
how by exemption from particular pains — from pains — the happiness of all
will be augmented by the all-beneficent means there proposed.

In the abovementioned year 1827, under the title of Papers
relative to Codification, had been published a work known,
for no object and business the recommendation of that same
measure: but, on that occasion, under no other name than that of the principle
of Utility is the principle in question spoken of: no epoch accordingly,
does that with reference to the present purpose, does
that publication constitute.

Paley 1785 Paley
on Moral and Political
Philosophy first edition
1805, his death

In the Year the 1785 came out for the first
time the work of the Reverend Dr William Paley intituled Elements of
Moral and Political Philosophy. But, in the catalogue
of the works constitutive of so many epochs in the history
of the principle in question, this work has not been inserted
because though, to wit by the name of the principle of utility
mention is made of this same principle, yet, as to the elucidation
made of it, by
any indication of made of the relation
borne by the idea attached to it to the ideas attached to the
words pain and pleasure, no such elucidation does it
give. The eyes for which it the work was designed were those of the
youth belonging to the University of Cambridge in one of the Colleges
of which he was at that time Tutor: in that meridian
eyes were not strong enough, nor was it his desire that they
should
should be strong enough
to endure true lights
in such a field. In
