(The application of mathematics to Beliefs the calculus of...)
The application of mathematics to Beliefs the calculus of Probabihties, has been treated by many distinguished writers; the calculus ofF eeling of Pleasure and Pain, is the less famihar, but not in reahty more paradoxical subject of this essay. The subject divides itself into two parts ;concerned respectively with principle and practice, root and fruit, the appU cability and the apphcation of Mathematics to Sociology. PAET I. In the first part it is attempted to prove an affinity between the moral and the admittedly mathematical sciences from their resemblance as to (1) a certain general complexion, (2) a particular salient feature. (I) The science of quantity is not aU en to the study of man, it will be generally admitted, in so far as actions and effective desires can be numencally measured by way of statistics that is, very far, asP rofessor Jevons anticipates. But in so far as our data may consist of Cf. JevoDS, 7%co y, p. 9. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Not illustrated. 1881 Excerpt: ...gratifications of the egoist--rational benevolence. For can there be a rational wish to please without a willingness to estimate the duration of the pleasure, the susceptibility, as well as the number, of the pleased? Exact Utilitarianism may also, as Mr. Barratt thinks plausible, present the end of Politics; of Politics as based upon self-interest.1 A political'contract' for the adjustment of conflicting interests should have two qualities. It should be clear and fixed, universally interpretable in the same sense. It should be such that the naturally more powerful class, those who, though fewer, outweigh the more numerous by strength, ability, and capacity to co-operate, should not have reason to think that they would fare better under some other contract. Two contracts present these qualities; the rough and ready isocratical, the exact possibly aristocratical, Utilitarianism. The first contract excels in the first quality; the second in the second. II. That the same reasonings should lead up to a general principle and down again to its applications--that the theory should be tolerably certain, the practice indefinitely remote--is not more paradoxical than that the demonstrator of the atom-theory should foresee the remote possibility of its application, no less a possibility than to triumph over the second law of Thermodynamics.2 The triumphs of Hedonics, if equally conceivable, are equally remote; but they do not so certainly become more conceivable when considered more remote; for what if in the course of evolution the subtlety of science should never overtake the subtlety of feeling! Faint and vague and abstracting many things which ought not to be abstracted, the Hedonical Calculus supplies less a definite direction than a general bias, here briefly an...
