It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do. On the one hand the standard of right and wrong, on the other the chain of causes and effects, are fastened to their throne. They govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve but to demonstrate and confirm it. In words a man may pretend to abjure their empire: but in reality he will remain subject to it all the while. The principle of utility recognises this subjection, and assumes it for the foundation of that system, the object of which is to rear the fabric of felicity by the hands of reason and of law. Systems which attempt to question it, deal in sounds instead of sense, in caprice instead of reason, in darkness instead of light.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut enough of metaphor and declamation: it is not by such means that moral science is to be improved.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE WORKS OF JEREMY BENTHAM\u003cbr\u003eSECTION I: BENTHAM’S STYLE AND METHOD OF THINKING.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION II : THE GREATEST-HAPPINESS PRINCIPLE AND ITS APPLICATION TO MORALS AND LEGISLATION.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION III :THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH.—FALLACIES.—PRINCIPLES OF EVIDENCE.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION IV : SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION IV : LAW REFORM.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION VII : POOR LAWS, EDUCATION, AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS FOR NATIONAL AMELIORATION.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION VIII : INTERNATIONAL LAW.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION IX :  POLITICAL ECONOMY.\u003cbr\u003eSECTION X : LOGIC AND METAPHYSICS.†\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAN INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF MORALS AND LEGISLATION\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I : OF THE PRINCIPLE OF UTILITY.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III : OF THE FOUR* SANCTIONS OR SOURCES OF PAIN AND PLEASURE.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV : VALUE OF A LOT OF PLEASURE OR PAIN, HOW TO BE MEASURED.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V :  PLEASURES AND PAINS, THEIR KINDS.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI .\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VII : OF HUMAN ACTIONS IN GENERAL.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VIII : OF INTENTIONALITY.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IX : OF CONSCIOUSNESS.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER X : OF MOTIVES.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XI : OF HUMAN DISPOSITIONS IN GENERAL.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XII : OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF A MISCHIEVOUS ACT.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIII : OF CIRCUMSTANCES INFLUENCING THE DEGREE OF ALARM.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIV : REASONS FOR CONSIDERING CERTAIN ACTIONS AS CRIMES.*\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XV.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XVI : OF THE PROPORTION BETWEEN PUNISHMENTS AND OFFENCES.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XVII : OF THE PROPERTIES TO BE GIVEN TO A LOT OF PUNISHMENT.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XVIII.\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIX.\u003cbr\u003eESSAY ON THE PROMULGATION OF LAWS, AND THE REASONS THEREOF; WITH SPECIMEN OF A PENAL CODE.\u003cbr\u003eESSAY ON THE INFLUENCE OF TIME AND PLACE IN MATTERS OF LEGISLATION.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRINCIPLES OF PENAL LAW\u003cbr\u003ePART I:  POLITICAL REMEDIES FOR THE EVIL OF OFFENCES.\u003cbr\u003ePART II.— RATIONALE OF PUNISHMENT.\u003cbr\u003eBOOK I.
