是時，李悝為魏文侯作盡地力之教，以為地方百里，提封九萬頃，除山澤邑居參分去一，為田六百萬畝，治田勤謹則畝益三升，不勤則損亦如之。地方百里之增減，輒為粟百八十萬石矣。又曰糴其貴傷民，甚賤傷農；民傷則離散，農傷則國貧。故甚貴與甚賤，其傷一也。善為國者，使民毋傷而農益勸。今一夫挾五口，治田百畝，歲收畝一石半，為粟百五十石，除十一之稅十五石，餘百三十五石。食，人月一石半，五人終歲為粟九十石，餘有四十五石。石三十，為錢千三百五十，除社閭嘗新春秋之祠，用錢三百，餘千五十。衣，人率用錢三百，五人終歲用千五百，不足四百五十。不幸疾病死喪之費，及上賦斂，又未與此。

卷二十四·上 食·第7则

人主者，溫良寬厚則民愛之，整齊嚴莊則民畏之。故民愛之則親，畏之則用。夫民親而爲用，主之所急也。故曰：「且懷且威，則君道備矣。」

第64篇形勢解·第57则

凡貨，金錢布帛之用，夏殷以前其詳靡記云。太公為周立九府圜法：黃金方寸，而重一斤；錢圜函方，輕重以銖；布帛廣二尺二寸為幅，長四丈為匹。故貨寶於金，利於刀，流於泉，布於布，束於帛。 太公退，又行之于齊。至管仲相桓公，通輕重之權，曰：「歲有凶穰，故穀有貴賤；令有緩急，故物有輕重。人君不理，則畜賈游於市，乘民之不給，百倍其本矣。故萬乘之國必有萬金之賈，千乘之國必有千金之賈者，利有所并也。計本量委則足矣。然而民有飢餓者，穀有所臧也。民有餘則輕之，故人君斂之以輕；民不足則重之，故人君散之以重。凡輕重斂散之以時，則準平。使萬室之邑必有萬鍾之臧，臧繈千萬；千室之邑必有千鍾之臧，臧繈百萬。

卷二十四·下 貨·第1则

This transaction fixed Ralph in his resolution of becoming a poet. I did all I could to dissuade him from it, but he continued scribbling verses till Pope cured him. He became, however, a pretty good prose writer. More of him hereafter. But, as I may not have occasion again to mention the other two, I shall just remark here, that Watson died in my arms a few years after, much lamented, being the best of our set. Osborne went to the West Indies, where he became an eminent lawyer and made money, but died young. He and I had made a serious agreement, that the one who happen'd first to die should, if possible, make a friendly visit to the other, and acquaint him how he found things in that separate state. But he never fulfill'd his promise.

When I was called to Washington in 1861, it was supposed that the war would soon be over; but it was seen shortly afterwards that it was to be a question of years. Permanent officials in charge would be required. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company was unable to spare Mr. Scott, and Mr. Scott, in turn, decided that I must return to Pittsburgh, where my services were urgently needed, owing to the demands made upon the Pennsylvania by the Government. We therefore placed the department at Washington in the hands of others and returned to our respective positions.
