1821. Decr. 1st
Codification Proposal
§.9. Draughtsman gratuitous

dependence ever so strict, still no such correction has place.
By the power of the people, be it ever so compleat, no such
corrective can be applied to it. Be the work, and thence
the workmen, ever so unapt, no ground can they have
for the assurance that one less unapt was to be found:
no ground therefore for passing censure on the choosers and
their choice.

The corruptive effect of the money or money's worth
as above, should not (it may be said) be regarded as being in
every instance, sure. Be it so. Still, be it in the whole ever so
inconsiderable, the service is all the worse for it. Against the
desire of serving the universal interest to the utmost – against
the desire of giving the utmost encrease to the greatest happiness
of the greatest number – a rival desire is set up.

From all these objections, the plan of encouragement
by natural reward alone, is compleatly free. On this plan,
all the above causes of inaptitude on the part of the work,
no one, nor yet any other has place. Nor yet can the encouragement
want any thing of being adequate. As little can it
fail of being productive of collateral good effects. All this
the next Section will show.
