1828. Jany.
Law Amendment.

4. But suppose that after giving existence to the 10,000
and to each of them a particle of the matter of subsistence
having at his disposal a quantity of the matter of wealth sufficient for the subsistence
of other 10,000 persons, he had the option – of either giving existence to an additional number
of persons to that same amount with a particle portion minimum of the matter of subsistence to each, or
instead of giving an addition to the quantity of wealth possessed
by the first 10,000 without making any addition to their number
a greater addition to the aggregate quantity of happiness would
be made by dividing among the first 10000 the whole additional
quantity of wealth than by giving making any addition to the
number of persons brought into existence. For, supposing
the whole 10,000 possessed having each of them the minimum of the matter of subsistence
on any given 5 between the day, the next day in consequence
of some accident might cease to have it, and in consequence
cease to have existence; whereas, if of the this same additional 10,000
some had each of them in addition to their his minimum of the matter of subsistence
portions particles one or more of the matter of abundance, here
would be a correspondent mass of the matter of wealth capable
of being so by the legislator so disposed of as to be
made to constitute the matter of subsistence to those who otherwise, being
destitute of without subsistence would be without existence.

5. Note that As between the matter of subsistence and the
matter of abundance the identity is no other virtual, identity with
reference to the purpose here in question, to wit the effect on happiness:
and the virtuality depends upon the faculty of
obtaining the matter of of one of the sorts necessary to subsistence in exchange for matter
neither necessary nor so much as contributory to subsistence
potatoes for example in exchange for wine: but within so far
as is necessary to the guidance of the legislator's practice, this virtual
identity always has had, and is likely always to have place.
