'I do not know what it is except that it is something grand, and that it
is Happiness.'
-Walt Whitman
'Happiness is not the same as pleasure, but it is generally built upon
or grows out of pleasurable feelings. We must begin, our analysis with
these, and with their opposites-the painful feelings.' Daniel G. Brinton
has tried to explain what happiness could possibly mean. This book
explores pleasure and pain, the hierarchy of enjoyments, the
distribution of happiness in the classes of society and in genders,
principles to promote one's own happiness and the consolations of
affliction. This classic can be picked up by each one of those who are
in an incessant pursuit of finding happiness in life or know someone who
might be.
