What

What I have not said is that I will
in no event derive reap any personal advantage.
What I did say is that my profit should I chance to
make any will be of my own making and not in no shape taken out of
the public purse

What I do say is that I will have no profit
and that whether I
make any or make
none, the national
expence far from so far from
instead of being increased
by me shall
be diminished.
till after the nation has reaped a benefit infinitely
greater, a profit benefit that they could not
have reaped without me. It would have been
quackery and not beneficence to have attempted to place ground
a perpetual establishment in its wisdom upon so tottering a base as that
of the casual and
unascertainable virtues of individuals
A permanent establishment
should
have a basis as
permanent as itself
To have taken for
that basis the casual
and unascertainable
virtues of individuals
would have been
quackery not beneficence
Contract management,
Interested management
was the mode
I had fixed upon as
the only one suitable
to any such establishment
long before any
personal view had
come across me. I
must have run counter
to my own conviction
and to a body of reasoning
to which

The Assembly will consider the proposition
coolly with no and without any other object than the public
good before their eyes, and without mixing with
it any consideration so insignificant and so
irrelevant as that of the a regard of any kind
for the particular interest of the individual who offers it. They will consider
that the only footing the only footing for a permanent
establishment to rest upon is judge better
than to think of grounding a perpetual permanent establishment
on any other principles of human nature than such as
may be expected to exercise set with a permanent and
uniform influence they may expect be sure to find in
any body and at any time to find in vigour in
every body and always for ever.
