1823 June 29
Constitut. Code

1. Take in the first place the two immediate subordinate
ends of by the Constitutional Code. 1. Aptitu Maximization
of appropriate aptitude on the part of functionaries. 2.
Minimization of the expence attendant attached to the employment
of them.

1. As to expence. To the Monarch With relation to an
interest of the Monarch distinguish the aggregate of the expence or say
to distinguish into two portions: Portion 1. that in respect
to which his profit is equal to the expence: of this portion the whole being
to him so much profit. Portion 2. that in respect of which his
profit though not equal to the expence, is in proportion to it
encreasing as the expence encreases.

2. Next as to aptitude appropriate aptitude. In a Republic
appropriate aptitude means aptitude with reference to the greatest
happiness of the greatest number. In a Monarchy appropriate
aptitude means aptitude with reference to the supposed
greatest happiness of number one. But in the imagination
and judgment of this same number one, the greatest happiness
of this same number one will consist in the subserviency
of all other wills and of the conduct of all other persons on
each occasion to the will of this same number one. But
what may happen and has continually been happening is that
while on the part breasts of the greatest number of his subjects infelicity has been
continually on the encrease, the will of number one has shall have been
continually doing by all and done.
