1824. Jany 20.
Constitutional Code

Under a weak and perblind purblind legislator
a foundation is an instrument with which
the crafty individual may undermine the
power of the Legislator, and set up his own
in the room of it. Under a crafty legislator,
seeking as every legislator if he is a man
will do of course in so far as able his own
advantage, a Founder with his foundation
may be an instrument with which, without
being seen to be at work, engaged in it, the Legislator may
give advancement to his own private, at the expence
of the public, interest. He may thus at
once demoralize and disintellectualize the great
body of the people over whom he rules.

Take the following example: and in this one
example, behold how thin and indeterminate
are the divisions by which the abuse is & the use are separated.
by the use.

First, take a foundation having for it's
object, the diffusion and advancement of this
or that branch of art and science, or in a
word of all branches taken together. What can
be more innoxious? What can be more manifestly
useful and proportionably laudable?

All this while, whether it shall be useful
or in the highest degree noxious, depends upon
a difference to many an eye so slight as to be
imperceptible, in the mode of teaching In the
mode of teaching to which the mass of reward which
the foundation has for it's instrument, is annexed.
