Next as to the hands in which by the here proposed choice
the power in question is saved from being placed.

First as to Choi Chance. Even if If this were all, Chance
in contradistinction to Choice would hardly be find much
serious support to its any pretences it could make to the exercise receipt acquisition
of this power. In any service time any such proposal as
that of converting the choice of a lottery having but one prop,
are namely the crown, and ticket, as many as the territory
has inhabitants, each one ticket to be allowed to each.

Yet comparison to the sort of limitation and modification which in the
case in question the power of Chance is subjected to, the unrestricted
power of chance would be an incontestable improvement,
and that by no means an inconsiderable one.

In the case of the lottery, the majority of the tickets
being in the hands of the majority of the inhabitants, and
all sinister influences by the are includible exclusion put by
the supposition, the odds would be in the favour of an individual
belonging to the lower that is to say the more numerous orders
an individual whose interest down to that moment the moment of the drawing
had always been, and thence his affection in favour alliance
with and in favour of that of the greatest number. By
his elevation he his mind would there can be no doubt his mind in a greater
or less degree in the moral branch on which the branches depend for their usefulness, be deteriorated, but at the worst it would not
be to any such degree deteriorated as to be reduced on the scale
of appropriate aptitude to a level with the men by which in
the other case the situation is occupied. Sympathy of affection
that sympathy which corresponds with moral aptitude value
in a greater or less degree be extinguished: but that branch of aptitude which could
not be is the sympathy of corruption: if to whatsoever
degree the feelings of those whose condition had been by came to be the objects
of his neglect, it could not no part of the neglect could in his case
as in that have for its been
cause produced the want of knowing
what, on each occasion
their feelings are.
