§. 5. Admissibility universal

1.
Above, nature & plan.
Now hands: works not
law as sanctioned, &c.
only original draught.

2.
Conclusions
Positions
1. Original draughtsmen
maximized.
2. Foreigner preferable.
3. Remuneration special
none.
4. Draughtsman single.

3.
Reasons
For 1. The more, the better
chance for maximizing aptitude
and avoiding giving
effect to sinister interest
&c.
For 2. Exemption from
native sinister interests
and prejudices.
For 3. Avoidance of favoritism,
precipitation,
delay, non-performance.
For 4. More the hands, less
the responsibility and encouragement: & so, the
consistency.
These but general anticipations:
follow, particular
explanations.

4.
Positions as to universality
to admission to the initiation function in preference
to or exclusive of
possessors of, or sharers
in, consummative power.
1. In the situation of every
such possessor and sharer,

4 contind.
and other causes of inaptitude,
not being sharers

causes of inaptitude.

5.
Follow indispensable explanations
1. By appropriate aptitude

or Workmen.

8.
Branches or elements of
do. in workmen.
1. Moral.
2. Intellectual.
3. Active talent
Intellection is –
