1821. Novr. 11.
Codification Offer

on the arbitrary pleasure of the few to whom the of
access to the will be can have been imparted. The expence
would will be to be borne by the public, the of it
would will be as to the works of the least affluent workmen:
that is to say, of those in whom, no
of the habit of labour, and the of ,
as well as moral aptitude is greatest.

The produce of the sale might may in the
in alleviation of the expence, or be given to the respective
authors. So long as the whole official , so
much as a single sinecure, or useless , or needless
office or office would is to be given up the
no objection could can with any consistency be made.

Simple as is this course, it is for that very reason,
amongst over and above those others, but the more unusual. Of the usefulness
of it, some conception may be formed, by contrasting
with it those other courses which, as above, under
favour of established usage and mode course of thinking, would will
be most likely to present themselves.

The promise which it affords in the account of appropriate
aptitude, will be plainly visible. Be the sort of work what it may, the stronger
a man's relish for it, other things being equal, the higher
is the degree of aptitude he is likely to give it: and without
some degree of relish, that any tolerable degree of aptitude
should be given to any such work is next to impossible.
The more persevering the course of labour necessary to the
execution of the work, the more indispensable is this relish,
in the character of a necessary condition to the aptitude
of the work so executed. Suppose no reward attached in
any factitious shape, the probability is that the natural reward
will be put in for by all by whom this relish is possessed,
exception of those who stand excluded by mere inability to find
the means of subsistence during that time stand excluded. Apply the factitious
reward, the probability is – that it will be put in for
by those and and those only, who, to a relish for the
factitious reward – say in a word for money – add a hope
sufficiently assured, of being taken for the objects of preference,
by those in whose hands the power of patronage is
regarded as being lodged.
