1828. Jany. 19
Law Amendment or Penal CodePropositions

It is because there is so much in yourself that
you are so forward to suppose the existence of such difficulty in case
curable wickedness on the part in the breasts of other men. Such is the observation
with which interested craft is want apt to oppose to whatsoever
effectual remedies can be proposed against political disorders.
The causing effective benevolence upon the largest most extensive scale
to be combined with prudence on that same scale
to be regarded as being so much more common than it is
or ever can be as among the most efficiently operative deceipt
by which the ruling one and in conjunction with the ruling few are want to
operate upon the credulity and mental imbecillity of the
multitude. This Of this compound of orders the quantity
is always assured to have place in the exact proportion to
the altitude of the place occupied by the individual on the
scale of prosperity: whereas according to the original and immutable
for constitution of human nature the real altitude
is the reverse. The more dependent great higher the degree in which a man feels himself
depend for the prosperity in the free and spontaneous and other
voluntary good offices of those with whom he has regards himself as about to have dealings
the prouder and more beneficial are is his deportment towards
them: the less, the loss. Thus much as to effective benevolence,
appropriate moral aptitude for government. The more greater the degree in
which he feels himself under the necessity of employing the requisite
labour in qualifying himself for the business of the situation
whatever it is, the better will he be qualified for it; the less
the loss: so much for appropriate moral intellectual aptitude.
