Of the Monarchy to
whom is given from
a quantity
of them as great as
suffices for the subsistence
of from 10,000 to 100,000
of the individuals from
whom when produced by
their labour it is externed
it is still uncertain
whether the felicity is
increased beyond what
there would be but for
the exertion.
14
Certain it is happier
the cheerful and goodtempered
labourer than
the gloomy or ill-tempered
Monarch.
15
Thus is the maximum
of evil purchased by the
most itious malefactors
come as nothing compared less than
will the evil produced by the
most beloved Monarch's
existence.
16
If by control so-paid Monarch

any way or shape produced
than by a Commonwealth

If by the th excess of the quantity
of the external instruments of

the probability of the probable excess
of felicity itself
still less with be that
produced by any inferior
quantity.

the whole population
the less the inequality
between share and share of the instruments mens
sharesame mass of the in the instrument
the greater the view of
felicity itself so long
as the inequality is
removed without lessening
security: or say
[Exposition?]

The more equal the
distribution of the means
so as security be undiminished,
the greater
will be the quantity of
happiness.

in the production
of felicity in the breast

Accordingly foron no occasion
for no purpose is

as above.

Never so far as may be
without detriment to the
