Theft, that Crime by which the Passion of all Passions the
most constant & universal, is gratified in the Method of all
Methods the most simple, is that with which we will begin.
Other Offences operating on the same Subject, viz:
Property, fall short in point of Simplicity of this, in
that they are either complicated with Inquiries operating
on a different Subject, viz: Person; or else take a
certain Detour, which this does not, to the Accomplishment
of their End; or operate only on some particular Division
of that Subject#, or are perpetrable only By Persons of a
particular Description.
Simple however as this is in the Mode & Principle
of its Perpetration there is no Offence that has in many
Cases the Conception of it's distinctive Characters more
intricate, nor therefore the Doctrine relative to it more
complicated: owing partly to what Intricacy of it's natural
Character, and partly to it's having been made by our
own Laws especially to take a different factitious one
from every one of a great Variety of Modifications &
Relations, as will be hereafter explained, of which that
ample Subject is susceptible. Yet of those whose other Offences some
