Indirect Legislation
Satisfying
it reduces them occasionally to indigence. From
melancholy and the fear of indigence they seek
relief in drunkenness. This while it diminishes
the attractions upon which their li only livelyhood
now depends, brings on or aggravates diseases,
especially that most distressing one to which their
way of life is particularly obnoxious. But the
infamy is the work of the laws: aggravated
by them at least if not produced by them
altogether. [It appears then] If this be true this branch of the
mischief were the laws out of the question would
amount to nothing.
There remains that which concerns the article
of population. But I have already
mentioned the reasons for which it appears to
me that the state of population depends altogether
upon other causes. Were this altogether absent, it population could
not be greater than it is: were this prevalent
in ever so great a degree, it population would not be less.
As to concubinage it seems to have no independent
mischiefs of its own: the mischief that belongs to it
seems to consist in nothing but the tendency it has
to end give birth to prostitution.
