Real
Assurance if personal on the part of the constituted
authorities, and thence on the part of so large a portion
of the intellectual public community would of itself have
been a rich reward: the mere prospect of it without any
such assurance, and discouragement that
could be opposed have sufficed to turn and keep in the
channel the labour of a long life to turn it and then
to keep it under a mixture of neglect and obligation.
Should encouragement of in this most
shape have been proved by experience to be insufficient
then would have been the time for holding out encouragement
the more substantial and ordinary form – encouragement
held out to the undistinguished all, not
confined to the favoured few.
But grapes it is truly said are were not to be expected, and accordingly have not been expected from thorns,
nor figs from thistles.
Better means for the production of extraordinary talent talented labour and
extraordinary in the field of legislation were not to be expected
from those on whose part eating and drinking in a certain place without
relative experience is a better security than relative experience
accompanied with eating and drinking at large in other places without
restriction as to place.
