Indirect
Rewarding
event which produces it puts an end to it is productive
of disappointment, pain is generated:
and pain is the matter of which punishment is
made. A fortiori Much more must this be the case where
the object which it is proposed to give in the way
of reward is to such a degree necessary as that
without it neither can be physical pain be averted nor
even death itself: which is the case where it consists
in pay which is all a man has to trust
to for subsistence. In such cases reward which is are
withheld
withholden though divested free from from of the odium has all
the efficacy, of punishment which is applied one applies .
The idea thus generalized and developed explained
may now it is to be hoped be applied throughout
the whole of extent and with little difficulty throughout
the whole of its extent: and strokes of policy
which till now even the fruits privileged gifts emanations
of genius may
henceforward become matter of routine the work of
ordinary judgment and mechanic industry.
The only remaining difficulty is how to
find out the test of good & representative behaviour in office when the
particular points can not so well be ascertained.
