Analysis of the several grounds of Justification
From p. 11. par. 1. While your neighbour's house is in flames,
it is very fit that neither the personal inconvenience
of your being jostled, or the domestic pecuniary
inconvenience of your garden being trodden
down should be a bar to [any one who
should find it necessary to the endeavours of any
person who might be assisting in extinguishing
them: for such assistance if not given in the moment, can never be given at all. them. But when the house is once burnt,
there it is as unnecessary as it would be impolitic
to permit any one that pleased to take do
to you what he pleased, or to take from you what he pleased in the view of making
up to your neighbour what he has lost.
Such indemnification, if it be proper to make it,
can be made more in a more compleat as
well as more equal manner by means of a contribution
levied by the authority of some certain persons in the
state on whom a standing power of levying money
is conferred for that and other purposes.]
