A slightly different trio appears in his ‘Inaugural Address to the University of St Andrews’, Dissertations and Discussions, Vol. IV (New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1874), 396-397, replacing the ‘prudential’ with the ‘intellectual’. And in his essay, ‘Bentham’, Dissertations and Discussions, I (New York: Haskell House Publishers Ltd, 1973 reprint of 1859 edition), 387, the third category is different still, denominated the ‘sympathetic’ or ‘lovable’ instead of the ‘prudential’. The ‘aesthetic’ and ‘moral’ categories are, however, invariant.
