JB to Bolivar for Bowring
A word or two I would here venture to trouble
you with Sir, on the qualifications desirable in the case of
an Envoy from your State.
To you Sir who after witnessing the deplorable state
to which in the course of so many centuries, Spanish Tyranny
succeeded in reducing the public mind in its distant dependencies,
have had for some time the opportunity of viewing
and making your observations on the state of it in your
country, many words can not be necessary, to bring back
to your view the prodigious extent of the room anddemand there
is – for improvement in almost every part of the field of
thought and action, moral as well as intellectual. An Envoy
from your State, should be capable of carrying his
eye over the whole of this field, and taking note of the difference
between the state of the so recently created Common
Wealth, & of this seat of long continued mental culture
in every part of it.
the 5 Constitution – 14 Rationale. 29 June 1923.
In In the people why – appropriate intellectual aptitude deficiency with
by people be inflicted by their Agents: these shall will
essentially be superior to do in all points.
2 By experience time the many are continually rendered
more and more apt: the one, and the few, less and less.
3. Whatsoever aptitude: (moral) being essentially absent, is
possessed by the one and the few, is employed in the advancement
of them in particular and sinister interest: to the injury
of that of the many.
