Pr

Projects have an advantage over mere imagination. Projects
in addition to the present good afford a chance of future: the interest
& excitement they afford are more lasting than mere imaginations
& more likely to be extending & prolific prolific, productive of ulterior projects, &
those of ulterior & so on.

Imagination. Though imagination cannot work except upon
the stock furnished by recollection, yet imagination & recollection are
not the same thing. There may be recollection without any work done
by imagination: there may be imagination without any distinct
recollection of the individual objects by which the matter for the operations of the imagination had been furnished

No situation but may furnish matter out of which imagination
may extract pleasure. When a man is labouring under
any disorder pleasure may be derived from the imagination of
the mere absence of that disorder: from the mere imagination
unaccompanied with the expectation & thus unaccompanied
even with hope. But in this case his endeavour must be to abstract his thoughts as effectually may be, from the consideration
that the relief is not obtainable: i.e. he must attach his thoughts
as strongly as they can be to the recollection of his former state
& the several enjoyments furnished by it antecedently to the commencement
of the disorder.
