1822. Feby. 13. Codification Universal S.5. Admission Universal

14. Supposing the office here in question established,
the author of the draught most approved of seems to be the
person, to whom, should he be if expected to be found willing
to accept of it, the offer of it would naturally be made.

15. But the evidence should be left unfettered. Be
the literary composition ever so well penned, fitness for the
office would not, on the part of the author, be a necessary
consequence. Various are the points of appropriate aptitude,
in which, relation had to the business of this office,
he might still be deficient.
Witness aptitude in respect of health, assiduity, incorrectness,
firmness, gentleness guileless in execution, &c.

16. After the completion of the Code, it might not
improbably be a considerable time, before the need of the offer
thus described would manifest itself.

Reasons for the universality above described open mode

They are constituted by the advantage, which, with
reference to the greatest happiness to the greatest number,
would be the result of it.

1. Reasons the first. The chances, in favour of the aptest possible
draught, rendered the greatest possible. The more draughts sent
in, the more will there be for those to choose out of, to whom it
belongs to choose.

2. Reason the second. The greater the number of draughts send in,
the greater the number of those, out of which, portions might,
upon occasion, be selected for the amendment of that one,
whichsoever it were, that shall have been chosen to serve
as the principal basis of the finished completed work.

3. Reason the third. Advantages derivable from the school
that would thus be established, for functionaries in the legislative
departments.

4. Reason the fourth. Advantages from the school thus
established, as applied to the case of functionaries in the Judiciary
and Administrative departments.

Masters in this their school, the authors of the proposed Codes:
scholars, in both schools the readers of these same codes. Note,
that in this branch of art and science, as in every other, the
pleasantness and most effectual mode of learning is by teaching:
or at least endeavouring to teach.
