Satisfying
§ Satisfying the desire at a cheaper rate.
In the preceding chapter I reckoned up
three classes of desires from which it would be of use
to divert wean the inclination from as much as possible:
drunkenness, the desire of irascible appetite
and the love of ease. The first of these is to be
satisfied only in one way and ought it were ought never to
better should never be satisfied at all, and is
only to be satisfied in one way. The two others
[may be] are capable of being satisfied in various ways and upon
various terms. And the same may be said of
the classes of desires which have not yet been
mentioned. The best thing to be done if it could
be done would be [to satisfy them] or to manage
as that they shall be satisfied without any expense.
The next best thing is that they shall
be satisfied at an expence less than the community
is put to by the mischievous consequences
of a crime or r an act which it
treats upon the footing of an offence. But
where this can not be done, it is something
so to order matters that for in the view for the purpose of satis-
