Constitut. Code

Of the expence expenditure of Government, the produce of every part which
has for its effect, or its object, the affording to the few, gratifications
in which the many cannot participate is so
much of the corruption fund employed in gaining the several
anertvenatical classes classes of the few, and obtaining their support and
assistance in for the depredation and oppression exercised on
the many. Money applied in a general way to the encouragement
of the fine arts: & of useless knowledge: knowledge having
no other use than the entertainment it affords to those who occupy
themselves in the acquisition of it; money employed in the
purchase of the production of the fine arts, for what is called
public use: use of the public. The public is in these cases

through the medium of taxation, the productions are brought
into existence or within reach and who generally speaking have neither relish
for them, nor time to look at them, they are never thought of:
and, if they were thought of, it would only be for the purpose

of the delusion, by from which in conjunction with corruption the system
of misrule receives its support. Not content with the profit, and grow the appropriate gratification, they claim and receive honor at the hands of too many
of the deluded multitude receive for the gratification which at the
expence of their betters they thus glory in administering to themselves.
