Ch. Securities for II. Intellectual
§. 1. Security 1. Examination

6.
Sole direct and simple
mode of obtaining
on adequate ground,
the faculty of forming
this judgment, appropriate
interrogation:
putting an interrogatory
– a question causing
it to be known that
Examiner's will is that
on the subject in question
Examinee declare
what it seems to him
that he knows. Such
declaration is an answer,
a response.
Any other forms of
such relative declaration
are resolvable into
this.

7.
Reference had to office,
every Examiner is a
Candidate.

7.
Examination is either
absolute or comparative:
absolute, if only
one Candidate: comparative,
if divers. Of the
comparative aptitude

judgment through examination

Ch. Securities for II. Intellectual
§. 2. Commonly employed – why

8. or 1.
Position 1. For ascertaining
the points in question
on adequate grounds
this mode the only possible.

9. or 2.
Scarcely under any
Government, with reference
to political offices,
this as yet in use.

10. or 3.
Cause. One government
excepted, to no governmt.
as yet has the accomplishment
of greatest
happiness &c. been an
object of desire, nor therefore
appropriate aptitude
with reference to that end:
by none any end aimed
at but maximization of
ruler's happiness.

11. or 4.
Were all other proofs
wanting of the adverseness
of this actual end
to the only right and
proper end, this very fact
viz. omission of appropriate
examination might
suffice for proof.

12. or 5.
By no private master,
on hiring a servant
is such examination
omitted.

13. or 6.
Of appropriate intellectual
aptitude, this the
only source.
In ordinary political
practice, to this sole direct
appropriate and adequate
is commonly
substituted circumstantial
evidence: evidence
composed of ungrounded
or most slightly grounded
presumption.
