    Note

    Among these several classes - Agenda, Sponte acta and Non Agenda - the

    distribution of the imaginable stock of institutions will differ in a very

    considerable degree according to the different circumstances of the several

    political communities. In regard to defalcations from general opulence for the

    security of subsistence, a sacrifice /an arrangement/ of that sort which in one

    country may be at once needful and practicable, may in another be either not

    needful, or what is more apt to be the case not practicable. The greater the

    degree of opulence, the greater the list of Sponte Acta - the less therefore

    that of Agenda. In Great Britain /England/ abundance of useful things are done

    by individuals, which in other countries are done either by government, or not

    at all. Docks, Harbours, Canals, Roads - Offices for Insurance {from}

    /Institutions for relief against/ misfortune - in a variety of shapes, and a

    variety of causes: Bodily affliction, death of friends, Fire - hostile capture

    criminal depredation. In Russia, under Peter the great, the list of Sponte Acta

    being a blank, that of Agenda was proportionally abundant.

    a conviction that it will pay for the expence. But the expence necessary for

    one, may be sufficient for many.
