is whether he will or no pursuing the interest of the
establishment. I have said, and I hope I have
proved, that a person who in such an instance <add>a station </add> has not the tie of
personal interest to bind him to his duty will
will never perform

thing to be hoped for from the presence its action, every thing
to be feared from the want of it? In general
a danger attends the employing a man whose
motives are for undertaking the employment are
of the interested kind (though what other sort
of man can you make sure of?) the a danger
I say — why? because interest may seduce
him to violate from the g line of his duty: — but if matters are
so ordered that he can not promote pursue his that interest but in
proportion
