Means of intercourse
in each case adjustable
with individual
circumstances
Art. With regard to the these means of intercourse this much
is good and true and good in general — that on each individual
occasion they must be settled with, and adjusted to the
circumstances of the individual with whom the intercourse
is to be secured.
2
In every Country
individual means will
depend on the state of
civilization
As to those individual means the present
nature and character of them will be liable to vary according
to the condition in respect of civilization of the
country in question: they will depend partly upon the
situation condition of the individuals to be communicated with
partly upon the applied nature of the means of communication
which the state of the country affords.
3
Means of communication
prompt & secure in
proportion as opulence
is abundant
As to the condition of the individual in proportion
as opulence is abundant, the means of communication are
at once capable rise in proportionable and certainty of being rendered more prompt and more
secure: the greater the numbers of minutes in a hour
and the more constant the habit of residence on the part
of each, the greater the certainty of conveying to the knowledge mind
of the head or any other member of the family the information
requisite. In a certain state of society that for instance
which to so large an extent has place in America
many have no are those who never have any fixt habitation, many again those
who having such a fixt habitation, have it habitually unoccupied
for any length of time: now in Switzerland this latter case
is to an inconsiderable extent exemplified + + See Insurenda in
Switzerland
As to the British Isles in no part of them is
the case exemplified in any considerable extent. Under the name
of vagrancy, voluntary or involuntary, such is the benevolence
and wisdom of English Parliament it is ever punished as a crime.
