of the aggregate, of particular
classes, and of

7.
Without practical error,
no one of these distinctions

To each class
belongs a particular
interest, liable to be opposite
to the universal:
so, to each member of
each.

§.1. Prelimy Definitions.

11.
From possession of
Ultramarian dominion
by rulers, no net
profit (suppose) to universal
interest in
Spain by saving in taxes,
interests opposite
to it are
1. Universal interest,
each man's share in
it.

12.
By supposition, expence
encreased. For
defraying it, sole resources,
forced contributions
or retrenchment
Hence, so far as retrenchment
is considered necessary,
all classes considering
themselves exposed
by the pursuit

of war in this
case.
