Prodigality, by keeping up upon a small space portions of time
a disproportionate mass of the instruments of enjoyment with
their corresponding gratifications, leaves succeeding portions
destitute. Then a vacuum, hideous void for the filling of up of which
even industry were it present though it were present <add>even with its utmost exertion</add> would be bring insufficient, and
rapacity presents itself as the sole resource.

It is but here and there by accident that the very individual instrument
from which the gratification is expected, is the very
instrument which rapacity finds within the reach of its exertions. though itself undependable if that property the utmost gratification it would be capable of yielding would comparativity but for totals would comparatively be little worth
Money, the common medium of exchange, is the
object with upon which the eye of rapacity fixes with an energy
exceeding that with what is observable in the case of & which it is apt to fasten itself upon
any individual prize. Where the article within reach
is not in itself an object of immediate desire, [the intervention assistance
of some other person] is necessary to the acquisition of
the things desired for their own sake. Then a purchaser
of the stolen goods dishonestly criminally obtained — as by theft for
example is necessary the existence of a purchaser called in such case
a receiver is in all these cases necessary to that of the
theft.
