at　a　vast　expense　is　neglected　by　another；　who　thinks　he　has　a
  more　delicate　sense　of　the　beauties　of　architecture；　and　he
  suffering　it　to　fall　to　ruin；　builds　another　at　no　less　charge。
  But　among　the　Utopians　all　things　are　so　regulated　that　men　very
  seldom　build　upon　a　new　piece　of　ground；　and　are　not　only　very
  quick　in　repairing　their　houses；　but　show　their　foresight　in
  preventing　their　decay：　so　that　their　buildings　are　preserved　very
  long；　with　but　little　labor；　and　thus　the　builders　to　whom　that
  care　belongs　are　often　without　employment；　except　the　hewing　of
  timber　and　the　squaring　of　stones；　that　the　materials　may　be　in
  readiness　for　raising　a　building　very　suddenly　when　there　is　any
  occasion　for　it。
  As　to　their　clothes；　observe　how　little　work　is　spent　in　them：
  while　they　are　at　labor；　they　are　clothed　with　leather　and　skins。
  cast　carelessly　about　them；　which　will　last　seven　years；　and　when
  they　appear　in　public　they　put　on　an　upper　garment；　which　hides
  the　other；　and　these　are　all　of　one　color；　and　that　is　the　natural
  color　of　the　wool。　As　they　need　less　woollen　cloth　than　is　used
  anywhere　else；　so　that　which　they　make　use　of　is　much　less　costly。
  They　use　linen　cloth　more；　but　that　is　prepared　with　less　labor；
  and　they　value　cloth　only　by　the　whiteness　of　the　linen　or　the
  cleanness　of　the　wool；　without　much　regard　to　the　fineness　of　the
  thread：　while　in　other　places；　four　or　five　upper　garments　of
  woollen　cloth；　of　different　colors；　and　as　many　vests　of　silk；
  will　scarce　serve　one　man；　and　while　those　that　are　nicer　think
  ten　are　too　few；　every　man　there　is　content　with　one；　which　very
  often　serves　him　two　years。　Nor　is　there　anything　that　can　tempt　a
  man　to　desire　more；　for　if　he　had　them；　he　would　neither　be　the
  warmer　nor　would　he　make　one　jot　the　better　appearance　for　it。　And
  thus；　since　they　are　all　employed　in　some　useful　labor；　and　since
  they　content　themselves　with　fewer　things；　it　falls　out　that　there
  is　a　great　abundance　of　all　things　among　them：　so　that　it
  frequently　happens　that；　for　want　of　other　work；　vast　numbers　are
  sent　out　to　mend　the　highways。　But　when　no　public　undertaking　is
  to　be　performed；　the　hours　of　working　are　lessened。　The
  magistrates　never　engage　the　people　in　unnecessary　labor；　since
  the　chief　end　of　the　constitution　is　to　regulate　labor　by　the
  necessities　of　the　public；　and　to　allow　all　the　people　as　much
  time　as　is　necessary　for　the　improvement　of　their　minds；　in　which
  they　think　the　happiness　of　life　consists。
