The Promotion of General Happiness: A Utilitarian Essay  (Paperback, Michael MacMillan)

About The Book: In the following pages I have borrowed from Professor Henry Sidgwick the useful word " felicific," and doubtless I have in many passages been consciously or unconsciously influenced by the same writer. It would indeed have been impossible for me to read his Methods of Ethics for ten successive years in the ordinary routine of my Indian work, each year with increased admiration for the Aristotelian thoroughness of the discussions it contains, without having my opinions on many subjects, and my way of looking at all questions, considerably affected Cornell thereby.
