Of Semi-public Offences in General

Calamities peculiar to animated bodies are 1. Pestilence. 2. Famine. Drought and other kinds of Scarcity. The incidents by which calamity is liable to be produced
may be distinguished, in the first place into those which affect animated
bodies only, and those by which any bodies at large are
liable to be affected. Those which animated bodies as such are liable
to are either 1. Disease, or 2. Death, the effect of many, and

Food. Food is either solid or liquid. A want of things of other
sorts is termed, in general, Scarcity: a want of food of the solid Class
is termed Famine: a want of liquid food is termed Drought.

remaining part of human creatures. 2. Other Animals. The above remainder
