Definition of Certain Terms Employed. 



Wants. This term is used in a double sense throughout the 

 various chapters : (1) the term is often used in its more 

 legitimate sense, viz., appetites, cravings, or desires ; (2) the 

 term, however, is also employed less correctly in the sense 

 of the things, objects, or desiderata which satisfy cravings. 

 It is used in the latter sense when such terms as the 

 following are used :—" creation of wants," "wants in 

 exchange," " aggregate of primary wants," " wants essential 

 to, life," "wants essential to comfort," "production of 

 wants," " struggle for wants," " supply of wants," etc. It 

 is used in the former sense in the following phrases : — 

 "wants are interminable," "satisfaction of wants," 

 " sufficiency for the wants of all," etc. On recon- 

 sideration it would, perhaps, have been an improvement if 

 the term wants had been restricted to its more legitimate use, 

 as indicating cravings and desires, or lacks ; and that the 

 term satisfactions should have been, substituted where 

 the things ivantecl are concerned.
