Conclusion
in point of political utility tendency effect . What it suffers
even from hatred is again but trifling in comparison
of what it suffers from rapacity: and the violence
of the former passion is every day more
and more infeebled by the progress of civilization.
The grand capital and inexhausible source of
mischief is repacity: against this enemy it behooves lies
the main strength and body of the war combatthe legisaltor to bend all his efforts: how
the direct and primary object of this class of malefactors [rapacity, is
the purse: abandon that to them then in easy
terms, so long as their outrages stop there hostilities go no further.
[What may be cured is nothing.] Be indulgent to
this passion so long as it confines itself totheft and sharping and all or any such like quiet peccadillos:
severe, while to it when it rises into robbery:
but severer still even beyond the line of retribution
when it breaks out into the atrocious and alarming horrors
al alarming appalling villanies of murder, and or incendiarism
and or inundations. So long as these are bei committed
but one in fifty times in half a century, care not if the others are
committed every day. What can be cured made up is nothing.
Fancy not then that every thing deserves demands death,
and that nothing demands more
