1826. Jany. Constitutional Code

Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively
§. 19 Subordinates
§.14. Locable who.

Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively.
§. 14. Locable who.

1.
Objection to the publicity
of the examination.
Exclusion put upon the
relatively timid: debarred
thereby from facing
so formidable an auditory,
on whose opinion
they saw their destiny
depending: with
such timidity, in no
shape or degree is merit
incompatible.

Answer:
2. Answer. At the
utmost, this, if true, is
but a drawback on
the utility: not destructive
of it, so as to render
rejection preferable.

3. Supposing even the
timidity incorrigible,
small would be the
number labouring
under it.

4. Sacrifice, supposing
the plan rejected on
their account.

5. 1. In the class of
hearers, the many
deprived of the benefit
of this instruction.

6. 2. The whole community
of the benefit of
the aptitude that wd.
thus be introduced
into office.

7. 3. Even the persons
themselves deprived
of the benefit of the
instruction: for this they
wd. have had antecedently
to the shrinking
from the text.

Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively.
§. 14. Locable who.<p>8. How capable soever
of having place in
conjunction with aptitude,
the timidity affords no
proof of it.

9. On the contrary, tho'
not incapable of existing
in conjunction with
the highest degree of aptitude,
it is much more
likely to exist in conjunction
with the lowest.

10. An abundantly inferior
person may think
himself scantily so: but
a scantity so, is more
likely.

11. As to admission into
the establishment, the
utmost timidity would
scarcely operate more
strongly than as a
retardative.

By repeated appearance
on examination days,
it would ultimately be
overcome.

12. A course might be
taken for ridding pupils
of this infirmity: namely
by periodically or otherwise
repeated examinations,
more or less
publicly made by the
Instructors.

In London this has
been done, and no
such timidity manifested
as to abstract notice.

§. 14. Locable who.</p>

12. By no such timidity
would a youth
be precluded from
manifesting merit in
any shape in which
the pen is the instrument.

The incurably timid,
if any, might, in giving
up office, take to the
pen and press.

Much greater might
be the maximum of
profit obtainable by
the pen, than under a
Code on these principles,
by possession of
office.
