Constitut. Code. First Lines.
Ch. Incorporeal Instruments
§. Delusion.
For the exclusion of lights of with tendency, the sanctions
employed may be either of the punitive kind or the remuneratory.
When of the remuneratory, the mode in wh of proceeding is indirect,
consisting in the application of the matter of remuneration
to rival studies and pursuits.
In the Church of England Universities, for example, it
is this indirect mode of excluding intellectual light that cuts the
principal figure. In those richly-endowed Seminaries of corruption & mischievous delusion, a
plan of this sort has for a long time been systematically pursued.
Under this limited monarchy, the class of the sub-ruling few can not
be so compleatly excluded as are under the Christian government all
but the class of this sub-ruling few, from the benefit of all literary
instruction. Under the guise of instruction some literary matter can not
therefore but be allowed to come within the cognizance of the
sense of those to whom useful instruction is professed to be administered.
Meantime, what can be done is done. Among the subjects
and sources of supposed instruction, those by which no instruction
at all, or instruction as much as possible worse than none are
supplied, are selected with religious care. To excellence displayed
on these masses of reward, large enough to operate with the most irresistable
attraction, are held up to universal view: and for straining putting exertion
to the utmost pitch stretch, the principle of public competition is employed.
