Excerpt from Minor Morals: For Young People And, in the attempt to accomplish so important. A purpose, I felt en couragement from a frequently repea ted observation of Mr Bentham s, that nothing is wanting for the establish ment of sound Opinions in all questions of right and wrong, but the determi nation to follow the consequences of actions into the regions of pain and pleasure. No better guide for judg ment has, I believe, been ever pro posed; and my conviction is as strong as it can be, that it is impossible to add to the stock of virtue without adding to that of felicity, or to increase the amount of felicity without increas ing that of virtue.
