Abstract

Riches may be considered in relation either to particular proprietors, or in relation to the public. Riches are of two sorts: First, such as consist in the possession of lands, cattle, corn, fruits, which such natural productions of the earth, as contribute to the use and sustenance of man: and to which I add, all sorts of manufactures, and the works of art. Or by riches, we may understand, money. He is truly happy amidst his riches, who knows how to use them: for, besides the comforts they yield, in procuring all things necessary and delightful for human life, they put us also in a capacity to relieve the wants of others, and to do many acts of charity, and works of public benefit.
