[Extract 1a] A rich man, in doubt whether to spend a shilling on a single cigar, is weighing against one another smaller pleasures than a poor man, who is doubting whether to spend a shilling on a supply of tobacco that will last him for a month. The clerk with �100 a year will walk to business in a heavier rain than a clerk with �300 a year; for the cost of a ride by tram or omnibus measures a greater benefit to the poorer man than to the richer. If the poorer man spends the money, he will suffer more from the want of it afterwards than the richer would. The benefit that is measured in the poorer man's mind by the cost is greater than that measured by it in the richer man's mind. [Extract 1b]

The gratification that is measured in the poorer man's mind by sixpence is greater than that measured by it in the richer man's mind.
