Promptitude has been mentioned as one of the evidences of
effective benevolence. In general much pain is saved, – &
sometimes much pleasure communicated by early attention.
While delay lasts false hopes are excited, & the mind
is kept on the rack by painful expectation. In
public functionaries where the points of consideration
are often of the greatest importance, – & the anxieties of
the applicant therefore the greater, – the virtue which avoids
procrastination is peculiarly meritorious. It is
pleasant to speak of a department where promptitude
appears the order of the day. Sir Fre The Secretary
of the Post office is said to give immediate
attention to every application. It is an honorable
distinction and worthy of all praise. On every occasion
in which the virtue is exercised, if something is not
added to happiness, something is taken away
from anxiety.
