1822. July 10.
Constitut. Code.
8 or 1.
Characters in which
a title of honour operates.
1. Order for respect: as
such is a title to respect:
i.e. to the external
tokens of it: order for
money is on one individual:
for respect
on all.
9. or 2.
Exercise of dominion
on the many—in almost
all.
Instrument of dominion
not coercion,
not intimidation,
but delusion.
Evil thence not so
great: yet still too
great.
10. or 3.
2. Certificate of good
desent, alias, merit:
import indeterminate;
this the course
of choice:L fact attested
existence of this quality
in the subject.
11. or 4.
Effect produced, causing
to be ascribed to
him dignity: i.e. worthiness:
viz. of receiving
respect or tokens
of it: means employed,
opinion expressed
by the conferring functionary
that this benefit
has been deserved
by him—on whom
conferred: deserved, i.e.
by service rendered by
him: quere to whom?
---page break---
11. or 4. contind.
Of service, if real, the
result must be pleasure
or exemption
from pain, actual
or probable.
12. or 5.
So, merited. Take away
service, thence pleasure
and pain, merit
evaporates.
13. or 6.
To be meritorious,
such service must
have had in it some
thing extraordinary
of services the most
useful are such as
have no merit. Thus
self-feeding, and sale
and purchase of food.
14. or 7.
Respect—its value, if
any, must consist in
a certainty or probability
of benefits in a
more determinate
shape.
