The distinctions of wealth in the scale of superiority & inferiority may
be easily measured. Note that The pound in the hands of the
foolish man will be used cannot indeed and be considered an instrument of the same value as a pound
in the hands of the wise, but which the amount of but that wealth now is accurately ascertainable.
The grade of superiority but as far as the standard of wealth is
applied they the fool & the wise are in the same condition. Wealth, however regarded
thro' the optics of utility is only one of the many means of
power – the means of possessing that which is an object of desire
– and upon its application less than its distribution depends the quantity
of pleasure purchased & pain avoided by it.
