29. True it is — that if per contra, by a Monarch, maintained
at an expense such as the above, good is by means of
that same expence produced in greater quantity than by a Commonwealth
Chief whose maintenance will not be a hundredth
part of the Monarch's: — true it is that on this supposition
the excess of expense vast as it is, may be not ill bestowed. But by
whosoever by the existence of any such excess of good is assented,
upon him does it rest to prove or probabilize it.

30. If in the case of those whose share in the instruments
of felicity is greatest,the excess of felicity itself is on an average
so small — and in some individuals out of the small number
belonging to this class, the non existence of any such excess certain
— still less and less will be the probable amount of the
excess of felicity in the case of those where those in the instruments
of felicity is less and less. And thus it is, that as in
a pure Monarchy the distribution made of the external instruments
of felicity is in the highest degree, so in a pure Aristocracy
is it in the next highest degree, unfavorable to the maximisation
of felicity itself.

31. Hence throughout the whole population of a state
the less the inequality is, between individual and individual in
respect of the share possessed by them in the aggregate map
or stock of the instruments of felicity — the greater is the aggregate
map of felicity itself: — provided always that by
nothing that is done towards the removal of the inequality
any shock be given to security: security namely in respect of
the several subjects of possession abovementioned.
More shortly thus.

32. The less unequal the distribution of the external instruments
of felicity is — the greater so as security be unshaken will be the
sum of felicity itself.
