1824. April 23

As to exceptions two three may perhaps be mentioned: but the
effect of them is but to confirm the rule. The one One is that
which may be considered as afforded by the examinations undergone
previously to promotion in the Navy service: the other another is,
that which may be considered as afforded by those to which those
who tender themselves are subjected to in the two English Universities:
a third, that which a person is subjected to previously to
his being admitted to do what is called taking Holy Orders.

1. As to the Navy Service something of an examination a
young man is subjected to for form sake previously to his receiving promotion
to the rank of Lieutenant. But as this altogether of the private kind
the public at large are not admitted: and if they were, the test
would in this profession have less efficiency than in most others.
This peculiar language of the profession being so generally unintelligible to
people at large even among the best educated.

2. The second is As to the examination preparatory to the
receiving of honorary titles in the Universities, they are in a double
way instructive: they afford an example of serve to exemplify at the same time the
efficiency of the test, and when well directed: and the motive
by which the ill wrong direction given to it in this instance, excepted
with the circumstance of its not receiving a useful direction in
any instance has been produced.

Of the use on this occasion made of the matter of reward
the purpose is obvious and undeniable: it is to keep the minds
of men during the season of education instruction acquiring season abstracted diverted from those
studies by which an aversion to the abuses system of intimidation corruption
and delusion on which the face of government depends for its continuance
would be produced and thence the desire and endeavour to apply
the only remedy would be produced.

The provisions are stiled fellowships and scholarships. These
are anomalous, the use p receivable during celebacy, and in many
instances encreasing as the advances in life.
