§. 9. The greatest happiness of the greatest number requires
that the work original draught in question be, if possible, performed gratuitously in
of the word drawn up gratuitously: in such sort that no
factitious reward, in any determined shape, established for the purpose, at the public expence shall, at the
hands of any person in particular, be either received or expected
for it: but that, under that restriction, the number of
rival works be the greatest obtainable.

So far as life and ability continue, one such workman hand,
and (he, as per Section 8 a foreigner) the people in question may be assured of.
But, obviously, by no such assurance, the uncertainties attached
to life and faculties considered, can could the demand for other workmen
hands for this same work, even on the supposition of a general
superiority of aptitude on his part, be superseded.

2. Even at present, by the mere circumstances of his
being a foreigner, his appropriate aptitude stands precluded
from being, in the sense requisite to the occasion, all-comprehensive:⊞ ⊞even if entire as to the outline, it could not be so as to the filling up: all-comprehensive as to all generals, it could not
to a practical purpose, be so, as to all particulars, comprehended under them:
were it in other respects ever so consummate, something on the score
of local circumstances, something, to an amount more or
less considerable, could not fail to be wanting to it.

Here these Even upon the supposition most favourable
to any such offer proposal as the present, – here then will come in the
demand, at any rate the eventual demand, for other hands:
for other hands, and those native ones.

What remains, is – that they may be as apt as the nature of the case admitts, and
among such are so, that the number of those, whose
works the constituted authorities have to choose out of, be
as correspondently copious. as the nature of the case admitts – that Of this, more particularly
further on.

As to gratuitous, what is here meant by the
word may perhaps be considered as being already pretty
sufficiently explained. By this explanation, one mode of
remuneration will, upon consideration, be found not
to stand excluded. This is – the prospect of being, in the event
of an adequate display of appropriate aptitude, appointed
to fill this or that office official situation: this or that situation already in existence, and by the
pay and power, or at any rate by the power, attached
to it, suited to the importance and dignity of the service.
