Concluding Instruction to the Public Opinion Tribunal
Art. Instructional

Art 1 To the Public Opinion Tribunal it will belong,
to urges with all it's energies, the commencement. and urge on the progress, of the system of appropriate instruction
here delineated. By the most powerful particular
and sinister interests, the several Ministers, with
their several dependents and other connections, whoever
they are, will at all times be urged to do their
utmost for the retardation, and if possible, the frustration
of it. Of their repugnance the cause is no less manifest than the existence
unpreventable. Fill the tests of aptitude thus furnished are in
operation, the locating function will of necessity remain
in possession of a power of choice, altogether
arbitrary; apt, on in ever so high a degree unapt,
their several dependents and connections will remain
located and locable, in all situations under them
respectively, from the least to the most highly desirable.
On the other hand no sooner are these tests of aptitude in operation,
than,by the influx of tried minds, whose aptitude has
been made manifest to all eyes, the sceptre of arbitrary
power will be swept out of their hands,
and the feelings of a dethroned monarch will be their's.

Art 2. Instructional

Art 2. The whole Artillery of fallacies will be drawn
out employed: in particular the better the plan is in theory, the more
incapable it will be pronounced of being carried into
effect in practice; and, to this predicted impracticability, all
imaginable exertions will be employed to give fulfilment.

Art 3. Instructional

Art 3. If, and in proportion aS, in the dominion of the
state, apt instructors, whose native language is the national language,
are wanting, either the functionaries must
remain uninstructed and unapt, or, under the disadvantage
of having to learn, at a more or less advanced period of
life, a foreign tongue, foreigners must be called in and demployed.
But, unless in case of temporary calamity men will not for nothing quit their old accustomed habits
connections for those of a strange land: and thus, under the
double mask of patriotism ofrugality sinister interest will seek,
and will but too much probability of success, a cover for its
mischievous and antipatriotic exertions.
