sinister interests prejudices and weaknesses, for his own benefit and accommodation,

together with that of any such individuals connected with him in the way of

self-regarding interest or sympathy, as, on this occasion, it may please him to take

under his wing: more particularly, all such as, in any apparently safe shape, may, to

the disposition, add the means, of making adequate demonstration of their gratitude.

As to a rationale such as above described, the Code in

question being an all-comprehensive one, the possibility that such an accompaniment to

it should be executed in a case such as that in question, is, by the very supposition,

excluded. It being by the very nature of man rendered impossible that, in that

situation, the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be taken for the object

of pursuit, or any other object than the greatest apparent happiness of the ruling one,

- an object, with the pursuit of which, the pursuit of the happiness of the greatest

number is, in the most important parts of the Code, incompatible, - any attempt to

interweave, as above, with the obligatory part of the Code, an accompaniment of this

sort, could not, supposing the workman known, and known to be in subjection to his

employer, promise itself any more acceptable effect, than that of exposing the workman,

as well as his high employer to ridicule.

    In this case, in so far as, in the eyes of a personage of such transcendent dignity, it may have been worth his while to bestow any attention on such a subject, it is by his individual interest as pointed out by his appetites and passions it is by that his sinister interest as in the case of any powerless individual it would be denominated, together with as many other particular and sinister interests as it may please him to admitt into a participation of the benefit by such his interests in conjunction with his prejudices and including those other interests, prejudices and weaknesses just spoken of that the substance of the several arrangements will of course be determined.

    To this cluster of sinister interest, prejudices and weaknesses, will the greatest happiness of the greatest number, in so far as any competition has, or is supposed to have place, be of course mad a continual sacrifice: the only points in respect of which no such sacrifice, if any, which by the draughtsmen have been proposed to be made of the sinister interest of his employer to the greatest happiness of the greatest number have escaped his view.

    As to the workman added by him to the sacrifices made of the universal interest, as above to the will, anticipated or declared, and thence to the sinister interests, prejudices and weaknesses, of his imperial or royal master, will of course be as many more as he can contrive to steal in, at the suggestion of his own sinister interests, prejudices and weaknesses, for his own benefit and accommodation, together with that of nay such individuals connected with him in the way of self-regarding interest or sympathy, as, on this occasion it may please him to take under his wing: more particularly all such as, in any apparently safe shape may to the disposition add the means, of making adequate demonstration of their gratitude.
