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.
