To . Quere whether to insert this page

True it is, that in To the apt composition of a work by
which the condition of all classed from the lowest
to the highest is undertaken to be disposed of, while
for its success, it depends upon the state of the human
mind in all those several classes, opportunities
for the observation of it should not, instead
in the instance of any of them, have been altogether
wanting. But, for this purpose, a slight
sketch intercourse will, in each instance, be sufficient:
slight is the intercourse that will be sufficient
to teach convince an attentive observer, that where literary
culture, intellectual and moral, has not been
altogether wanting or deplorably misapplied, the degree
of regard for the greatest happiness of the greatest
number is rather in the inverse than in the direct
ratio of a man's elevation in the conjunct scales of
opulence, power, and factitious dignity. The less the
need a man feels of the good will of others, the less solicitous
will be his endeavors to possess it, and that he
may possess it, to deserve it
