ABSTRACT
Soon after this time I took from their repository a portion of the unpublished papers which I had written during the last years of our married life, and shaped them, with some additional matter, into the little work entitled "Utilitarianism"3
It should initially be commented that Utilitarianism was originally written as two separate essays-one on the theory of utility and the other on justice-at different times.4 The original essay on the theory of utility is Utilitarianism's first four chapters, and is less than a mere 15,000 words.
