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
every a man's confidence in his own prudence
and sagacity prevents his taking that alarm
in the case at hearing of an instance of the f
sharping as he does at hearing one of theft. (a)
Note
(a)
I suppose all along the sum 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 <sic>antient</sic> 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
