ii. lappuse - ENTERED, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1842, BY D. APPLETON & COMPANY, in the Clerk's Office of the District Conrt of the United States, for the Southern District of New York.
140. lappuse - 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.
89. lappuse - Now what is attention ? It is not a reaction of the organs against the impressions received ; it is nothing less than the will itself, for no body is attentive without willing to be so, and attention at last resolves itself into the will.
