Greece J.B. to the Senate Letter III

I now take the further liberty of begging your
acceptance for a concisely expressed, but in so far as my conception
is correct an all-comprehensive plan, for
the education, location and remuneration of the functionaries
of any republican government, in all their several official
situations. Without any addition at the expence of
the public, the same plan is calculated to serve for
a plan an entire system of national instruction, so far as regards
all those whose condition in life requires them while
their pecuniary circumstances enable them, to improve
their minds by intellectual culture. I have therein
made I hope made satisfactorily suff tolerably well apparent the inseparable
connection which in the case of official men I have found to have
place,
between the strictest frugality
and the highest degree of aptitude, on the part of
official men with reference to their several situations.
Principle, title, and motto, — "Official aptitude maximized
"expence minimized." I know not whether that in any such
compressed form it will be found translatable with
with correspondent concision into your present language.
In From first to last, in pursuing these purposes, I have from first to last had
kept a more especial eye to on what has been represented to me as being the situation of that your country —
I need not name it to you — which is in so presentient
a degree dear to me.

This plan is contained in four out of the
Sections or thereabouts of the 28 Chapters or thereabouts
of into which the matter of my proposed Constitutional Code in its present state stands at
present divided. Alas! It is not even yet compleated!
but still, so far as regards the proposed text it wants but very little of being so. [+]
[+] Reasons, expository
matter, and Instructions
for the Legislators, may
from time to time are
settled in substance, and
may from time
come out follow, according as time and occasion permitt My hope is that in some degree they the proposed Code will be found to contain in itself the essence of the reasons
by which it was suggested.
I inclose the titles
of the several Chapters and Sections of the whole as they stand at present.
