Let the mind seek to occupy itself by the solution of questions
upon which a large sum of happiness or misery depends. The machine
for example that abridges labor will by the very improvement and economy it introduces
produce a quantity of suffering, this is a topic for benevolent thought
to engage in. Under the pressure of the immediate demands of the
poor Sully is said to have employed engaged them in raising huge & useless
mounds in his garden. Others have been found to propose the
digging holes & filling them again as meet employment for industry
when ordinary labor fails. But what a fertile field for generous
thought consideration is that which seeks to obtain provide the clear accession to the
national stock of riches & happiness which all real improvements
bring with them at the least possible cost of the pain – to
secure the permanent good at the smallest & most temporary least enduring
inconvenience – to make the blessings that are to be diffused
among the many fall as lightly as possible in the shape of
evil on the few. Perhaps when the inevitable misery is
really minimised by the attention of the wise & goo intelligent & benevolent
the transition will become in most instances neither perilous
as it has often been made by riotous violence towards those whose toil labor may be
temporarily shifted by its introduction.
