culiar sentiment which attaches to the former； as contradistinguished from the latter。 If this characteristic sentiment has been sufficiently accounted for； if there is no necessity to assume for it any peculiarity of origin； if it is simply the natural feeling of resentment； moralised by being made coextensive with the demands of social good； and if this feeling not only does but ought to exist in all the classes of cases to which the idea of justice corresponds； that idea no longer presents itself as a stumbling…block to the utilitarian ethics。 Justice remains the appropriate name for certain social utilities which are vastly more important； and therefore more absolute and imperative； than any others are as a class （though not more so than others may be in particular cases）； and which； therefore； ought to be； as well as naturally are； guarded by a sentiment not only different in degree； but also in kind； distinguished from the milder feeling which attaches to the mere idea of promoting human pleasure or convenience； at once by the more definite nature of its commands； and by the sterner character of its sanctions。
THE END 。
