According to commonly received notions, the disposition to this appetite
on the part of its members receive and to earn the matter of corruption, is no
more than a casual disease, accident indeed to the body politic,
but of which the existence is by no means universal, nor
where it has place unsusceptible of cure. In Its being universal
not only the being infected with it but the tendency of being infected
with it even the capacity of receiving it, the infection is a matter subject of special
reproach, not to be cast upon any person without specific
and adequate grounds.

According to some it is moreover bears resemblance in one particular
like to the stile: it is to has place only in the middling and lower
classes: at any rate in at a certain degree of elevation a man
is altogether practically speaking unsusceptible of it: he can no more have it a first
time, than a man who has in whom the result has once manifested
itself can have it a second time.

These being the generally received notions, what are the correct
ones. That the appetite is universal: no less so scarcely less so than the appetites
of hunger and thirst: that it is no more capable of being expelled
out of the body natural or public, than hunger and or thirst
are out of the body natural: that in one particular respect it not only
does not agree with resemble the appetite of hunger, but is in the directly
opposite case: for the greater the quantity of its food it devouring
not the less craving is it but the more so: the the way to
it in the less and less troublesome the less keep it in little troublesome
as the nature of the case admitts possible is to leave as little of its food in its way
as possible.
