As to a rationale as above described, the Code in question, besides its being an all-comprehensive one, being by the supposition to be furnished with the sort of accompaniment thus denominated, not only the propriety but the possibility of its being 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, or any other object than the greatest apparent happiness of the ruling one,- an object with the pursuit of which the pursuit 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 Master as well as employer to ridicule.
