1822 Oct. 19 Tripoli Securities against Misrule 2o Preliminary Explanations

Chance of Concession Cautions

In respect of property all men are exposed to /labour under/ insecurity not

merely in that shape in which it involves danger and alarm in respect of what

they have already, but in that shape likewise in which by the of it they are

prevented from making all those additions to it to which a feeling of security

such as is enjoyed even in the worst governed European nations is sufficient to

give birth.

In the present state of insecurity, no man who has capital to any considerable

amount can make application of it to any source of profit, the reaping of which

supposes and requires the assurance of reaping the fruits of the disbursement

for an indefinite length of time.
