Imprisonment examined

to demand in this view any separate notice. The
bulk of offenders will be of the poorer sort working class: both
because these compose a great majority of the
people, and because the poorer sort are more exposed
to the temptation of committing such offences.
Among these the produce of a little plunder will
go a great way; and purchase pleasure to an amount much
beyond that which the ordinary produce of their
lawful labour would enable them to purchase.
These pleasures are naturally a matter of boast
to those who have been most successful. They give
a sort of superiority which those who possess it
are fond from a principle of vanity, if although every all motives
are wanting, to display over and magnify
to the humble and t admiring audience of their
less fortunate associates. These recitals inflame the imagination
of the audience hearers: takes fire at these recitals:
and in a word their propensity to cause ratify their
rapacity by all sorts of crimes is encreased by
prospect of the pleasures they produce of which the means are
furnished by those crimes.

Men who are together must converse: and what subject
i of conversation more natural more obvious than their admit adventures &
exploits, those especially which were the means of thus bringing
them together? into each other's company
