Codification Offer
If encouragement to merit were intended, proof of the service
would be required as in the case of judicature.
The use commonly ascribed to factitious dignity is
the affording encouragement to merit: to merit in a variety
of shapes corresponding to the several shapes in which service
rendered to the public by individuals is capable of making
its appearance.
On the contrary, it is in a conspicuous particular degree
ill adapted to this purpose. What effect it has is altogether of
an opposite nature. Say factitious reward out of the case,
natural reward adapts itself of course to the several shapes
and degrees of usefulness, of which service rendered by individuals
to the public is susceptible.
