About the Book

Whoever examines, with due circumspection, into the annual records of time, will find itremarked that War is the child of Pride, and Pride the daughter of Riches: -the former ofwhich assertions may be soon granted, but one cannot so easily subscribe to the latter; forPride is nearly related to Beggary and Want, either by father or mother, and sometimes byboth: and, to speak naturally, it very seldom happens among men to fall out when all haveenough; invasions usually travelling from north to south, that is to say, from poverty toplenty. The most ancient and natural grounds of quarrels are lust and avarice; which, though we may allow to be brethren, or collateral branches of pride, are certainly theissues of want. For, to speak in the phrase of writers upon politics, we may observe in therepublic of dogs, which in its original seems to be an institution of the many, that the wholestate is ever in the profoundest peace after a full meal; and that civil broils arise amongthem when it happens for one great bone to be seized on by some leading dog, who eitherdivides it among the few, and then it falls to an oligarchy, or keeps it to himself, and then itruns up to a tyranny. The same reasoning also holds place among them in those dissensionswe behold upon a turgescency in any of their females. For the right of possession lying incommon (it being impossible to establish a property in so delicate a case), jealousies andsuspicions do so abound, that the whole commonwealth of that street is reduced to amanifest state of war, of every citizen against every citizen, till some one of more courage, conduct, or fortune than the rest seizes and enjoys the prize: upon which naturally arisesplenty of heart-burning, and envy, and snarling against the happy dog. Again, if we lookupon any of these republics engaged in a foreign war, either of invasion or defence, we shallfind the same reasoning will serve as to the grounds and occasions of each; and thatpoverty or want, in some degree or other (whether real or in opinion, which makes noalteration in the case), has a great share, as well as pride, on the part of the aggress
