Constitut. Code.III Reason-giving
Enter a taylors shop or a quondam this if you
may find it in it a man who in addition to the quantity of the time sufficient
to raise him to commence in his business, has found a sufficiency
to enable him with conspicuous superiority aptitude to put to use the proficiency
he has made in the study of the art of legislation. Go through
the list of Members of the High Court, and in addition with the exception
perhaps of some single individual in addition to those whom the
pursuit of professional gain has occasionally done without if not against the
consent into this or that quarter of the field of legislation, not a single
one will you find to whom the pursuit of amusement in all its shapes
in conjuncti including the game of party politics, the scramble for places
has left them from enquiry say meeting acquiring in any tolerable degree the mastery of any the similar spot or duties in the field of legislation.
Thus and for this reason it is that on the scale of appropriate
aptitude with reference to the business of government the attitude
of a every man human mind is never not directly but inversely as his attitude
on the scale of opulence prosperity: at last you arrive at that supremely
elaborated pitch point of supremely elaborated inaptitude what
is occupied by the individual on whose will depends the fate
of all the millions whose ignorance prejudice his will turn in
laying prostrate at his feet.
This Perfect is the accordance Mutual is the agreement between this arrangement
for the constancy of attendance and the anterior one for the shortness
of continuance in office. The shorter the time of a man's
confinement, the less irksome to him will it be.
☞ Note
Correspondent to appropriate moral aptitude is sympathy of affection,
to appropriate intellectual aptitude is sympathy of conception: the
higher a man on the scale of prosperity the more deficient in
morals, the higher on the scale of opulence in intellectual: so far as regards the
demands and sensibilities
of the lower and more
orders.
