Indirect Legislation
Knowledge
as hath already been observed is not so bad in its consequences as
robbery, nor even as theft; if it were only that
everya man's confidence in his own prudence
and sagacity prevents his taking that alarm
in the case at keeping up an instance of the f
sharping as he does at hearing one of theft. (a)
Note
(a)
I suppose all along the lost damage sustained by the offence
to be the same: for in a certain point of view
sharping may be the worst: in as much as frequently
a greater sum may be got possession of in this
way than can by theft.
For proofs of the superiority of antient modern
manners over those of classical antiquity, see
in Hume's on ess the in Hume's essays, that on the populousness
of antient nations: for proofs of their
superiority over those of gothic the gothic ages see Voltaire's
general history, Hume's history of England, Robertson's
introduction to his history of Ch. 5 Qu and
Barrington's observations on the English statutes: and for as
both purposes to both points see the Chevalier de Chastellux's
Essai sur la felicité publique, which has been
translated into English
