I would be surprised if Carroll alluded to Jevons's Notice. There was only
a short summary published shortly after and the notice itself was in print
in 1866. Carroll might have equally well referred to
psychological/physiological literature around at the time (eg. Bain's The
Senses and the Intellect or his The Emotions and the Will) in which
recourse to pleasure-pain balancing was widespread.
