Ruler given

1. Cainers, but too many:
yet not so many as to
render the possession
eligible to the people at
large.
2. Expense of maintain—
ing spanish dominion
over Creolia is the dif—
ference between the ex—
pence of the Spanish
government without
that incumbrance,
and the greatest sum
leviable on [HERE]
of maintaining the dominion over it.
3. Correspondence to that
expence, and the suf—
fering attracted to it,
will be the profit re—
ceived and comfort
enjoyed by King's new
instead of former ad—
visors
4. True, from whatever
source profit to even so
few, is taken by itself,
so far as it goes, do to
the whole. If it pro—
duce less to the whole
it is by producing, go to
the many more than
equivalent to the profit
to the few.
5. Subjects of inequity-
whether,while by the
dominance, great less,
as above, is produced
to subject many, great profit is not
produced to rulers:
if yes, then that pro—
fit is the cause of
that less.

6. Consider and where
Difference between
enjoyment from profit
and suffering from less,
sum the same.
7.

Rule from no.1
1. Pecuniary circumstan—
ces equal, sum the same,
suffering from less is
greater than enjoyment
from profit.

Example. Two men,
each having £100.
Take from one £50,
after the operation, the
ratio of his proceeding to
his subsequent property
is as 2 /o 1, Give to the
other £50, the ratio of
his subsequent /o his
preceding property is
best as 3 /o 1. This is
one cause of the mis—
chieviousness of gaming.
8. Rules from no. 2
1. The less rich a man
The greater his enjoy—
ment from gain, and
suffering from less, of
a given time: the more
rich the greater the one
and the other.
9. To the £100 man, ,£50
will produce intense—
ly happiness or unhap—
piness; to the £1,000,000
man, scarce a sensa—
tion.

10. By ruling few nothing
is gained but that or
is taken from sub—
ject many: and with—
out understood equiva—
lence applying in =
to the items of the less.

11. Consequence
, by every penny received by ru—
ling, few and such over
and above what is ne—
cesary to engage ade—
quate appropriate apli—
tude, less and earnes prev—
ent suffering is produced
to the whole.
12. This antecedent to con—
sideration of the effect
of the excels of profit on
ruling few conduct.
13. In many instances, and
to a vast extent, to reason
a given profit with the
enjoyment, rulers are
necessitated to subject
the many to a much
more than equivalent
less with its suffering.
14. Hence, under ever head
of profit to ruling few,
enquire in what pro—
portion is the less to the
many: every such head
is the more mischie—
vous, the greater the
ratio.
15. Thus, in war, that ra—
tio is maximized:
hence the main cause
of wars.
16. Of the vastness of sub—
ject- manys less in
Spain and Croatia from
this dominion, correcti—
on hasbeen given.
Of the vastness of ru—
lers profit from the same
cause, a view remains
to be given.
17. In this profit, subject
many may see the
cause of that propen—
sity, which, as they value
and understand their
own interest, the will
combat: the propensity

17 Continued
to increase distant
dominion and war
each for its own sake
and that of the other,
18. Sole source of this
profit, immediately
or unimmediately
is however: from the
dominance as well
as from wars,
connected with it
would come to them
in crase of power
in the serious
ways that will be
seen.
