Explanations —
1. Expence is 1. Pecuniary,
borne by the community Government
by the hand of Government.
2. Hardship borne by
the individual functionary,
on occasion of
the Service.
2. By expence to the
public community is produced his
condition as to existence
and positive comfort.
On the actual comfort
will depend his condition
when engaged:
on the expected do., his
inducement to engage.

§. 10. Remuneration 3. III. Army Minister.
4. Faculty of migration
from Station to Station.
5. Faculty of obtaining

6. Mildness as to

8. Security against

IX. §.
9. Determinateness

N.B. Means of
equalization as to
insalubrity & disagreeableness —
1. Shortness of continuance.
2. Change in an order
determined by lot, as
far as the good of the
service allows.
Thus auxiliary to
Expence minimizing is
contentment maximizing:
not purely antagonistic
as might be supposed.
Here primary
object of regard, Privates
condition: they being
the many: theirs
accordingly, so far as
regards the individuals,
the condition of
primary importance:
viz. in the ratio of the
numbers: & by the
nature of the service, so
much exposed to
irremediable oppression
by Superordinates.

§. 1. Leading principles. §. 3. III. Army Minister.
§. 10. Remuneration II. Stipendiaries
7. Expence minimizing.
§. 10. Remuneration
2 Contentment maximizing.
Means of lessening
Inequality are
1. Raising the condition
of the inferiors. This,
except as above, can
not be but by expence.
2. Lowering the condition
of the superiors.
This, in so far as effectible,
is so without
expence, other than that
of defalcation from the
mass of the pleasures
of the power of command,
reaped at the
expence of those
subject to it.

as
the Subject
matter of expences
in the aggregate:
not to Remuneration
which is
that particular
portion of the Expence.
