The provision which is made of ...a variety of objects not necessary to Hfe, and ministering only to our pleasures, and the prop- erties given to the necessaries of life themselves, by which they contribute to pleasure as well as preservation, show a further design than that of giving existence.^ A single instance will make all this clear.

It may also be necessary, that the animal be impelled by its sensations to exert its organs.
