The ill effect is not to add but from the number of
apt competitors
requires of his mind be of a cast fitted for the task adapted o the service, the hope of
seeing so much good donehave place, the hope of knowing seeing that it is by has to himself
or the author of it him that it is done, and the hope of seeing that celebrity is
to be the hand by which it has been done will be sufficient:
in the case of the Native, in addition to all that body of inducement,
an eventual expectation warranted as it may be and should be by expectation having including for its objects all the most valuable
offices pertaining to the government comprized in the official establishment the hope of the choicest
lots of factitious reward attached to ordinary official service.

That it is not only needless but eminently prejudicial: namely by
the admission it gives to the system of patronage: that the effect
of this needless and expensive remuneration is to draw off from the service itself
the attention of both parties, namely the patron and protege or expectant
from the service itself to the reward. The patron will look out for
the individual who not being demonstrably manifestly useful for the task is
most agreable to him – the one whom it would be most gratifying
to him to see thus provided for served: the protege candidate to the neglect of the
service that it is to the only legitimate end object of it, would take
for his object the recommending himself to the favour of the patron
and demonstrating his gratitude by the execution given to it manner in which he executes it:
demonstrating his gratitude, and at the same time paving the
way for further occasions of demonstrating it.

That the factitious remuneration in whatsoever shape or shapes given
could hardly be given without a greater or less probability of it
either obstructing the design by either rendering the work though
hence less apt than it would otherwise have been, or by giving
as interest in delay or final non-execution, retarding it or
preventing altogether the completion of it.

That so far from encreasing giving encrease the number of the more or
less apt which the constituted authorities – the body of
legislators at large would have to choose out of, the effect of the
is constituted an object of patronage would be
it: for that whereas in the case of factitious
by patronage no man would enter think of entering
a course of labour unless already paid for it, or already
sufficient assurances of he possessing on in the part breast of the patron or patrons
an any adequate degree of favour, nor
unless he regarded himself
as being able in some way
or other to compleat the
task, and within the time , in the case of the
natural remuneration alone
every man who regarded
himself capable of pay
master of appropriate aptitude
sufficient to afford
him hopes of advancement to him would come forward with a work of greater or less extent, exceeding it as was able to execute giving it as much aptitude as he was able to give to it, and giving to it as much dispatch
and no more as he felt himself able to give to⊞
⊞ it without prejudice
to the aptitude.
