Ch. 7. Pay
§.1. Abstract fitness
Part II Quantum

1

1.
For a decision on this
question, the two preceding
topics require consideration.
p.1

2
An absolute answer
in pounds, shillings
and pence, can not be
returned. The only
proper answer is, a
relative one — one
bearing reference to experience.
p.1

3
In case of this, as of
other public offices,
this general answer
will suffice — The proper
quantum is the
smallest for which
a qualified person
will undertake the
duties. p.1.

4
In the case of non-established
churches,
the quantum is always
at its minimum.
This one point of their
advantage over establishments.
p.2

5
In the case of an
establishment, reference
must be had
to the two establishments
in this island,
considering also the
disadvantages attached
to change, which
it is the duty of the
legislator to reduce
to a minimum.
p.2.

6
The two following
describe the proper
line of conduct, as
far as can be done
in generals. p.3.

7
So it is not so small
as to cause a man
to take to other occupations,
the quantity
of pay for which
a qualified person
will undertake the
duties, cannot be too
small. p.3

8
Economy seems to be
the chief advantage,
but will be found the
least. p.3.

9
Proof of relative aptitude,
a positive
advantage. p.3

10
As also exclusion of
the evils of extra
opulence. p.3

11
1. Proof of relative
aptitude —
Good liking
— relish for the function
must be allowed
to be, if not an indispensable
condition,
a desirable security.
Virtue in this
case, is in some degree
it's own reward.

Conceditur — in this
volitional aptitude
active and intellectual
do are not included.
But original physical
aptitude being
given, acquired
aptitude will depend
partly on external
means, partly on
the degree of time
and attention — & laying
out of the question
external forces, application
will depend
on the pleasure of
performance, or
pain of neglect.
p.4

12
Whatever the degree
of intellectual
and active aptitude,
volitional do is absolutely
necessary to
due performance i.e.
to the subjecting himself
to penalties
in case of non performance,
or mal performance.
In case
of deficiency of the
internal cause, some
external do must
be brought to bear
on the will, or the
desired effect will not
take place. Reward &
punishment the only applicable
external causes, one or both of which or the above
internal ones are indispensable.

13
The smaller the reward,
a man will
accept the office for,
the stronger the
proof of relish for it,
of volitional aptitude.
p.6

14
Affix to the office
a certain quantity
of pay, & you will
obtain performance
of the duties, even
from those who are
averse to them.

Let there be absence of
all external reward, then
the volitional aptitude
has place, & with that
alacrity which is so
conducive to due
performance of the
duties. p.6.

15
No master but prefers
a willing to an
unwilling servant.
p.7

No general but expects
better service
from a willing than
from an unwilling
soldier. p.7
