Constitut. Code
Lucrative Offices are the pipes or channels through
which the money of the subject many is drawn into the coffers
of the ruling few: the greater the number, and the greater the mass
of emolument lucre attached to each, the greater the quantity mass of the
more abundant the matter of depredation so exercised. In most States almost any State are
Books published or authority exhibiting the Offices or most of the
Offices contained in the Official Establishment of that same
State: in some with, the yet in others without mention made of the
quantity quantities of emolument attached talents or of more
or less considerable of the masses of emolument respectively
attached to those same Offices. In these books may be
seen the principal part of the matters, to the maximization
of which the endeavours of rulers have
in every government but one been primarily
if not exclusively directed: with that one exception,
therein may be seen the actual ends of government.
Those which in proportion as they add to the quantity of appropriate
official aptitude ascribed, substract from the quantity actually
possessed.
