Letter II
The space which the establishment might hope to fill tantalizing influence of the public eye
in the public eye was amongst the foremost of the securities constituted no inconsiderable article in the list
to which I had trusted for the goodness of the management.
The degree of interest and of attention with which it an establishment would
of this kind would experience on the part of the public be regarded by the public eye could not but depend
and that in a variety of accounts, on the magnitude
of the scale. Of itself the most extensive The greater
the object the greater the share of attention it would
be enabled draw of course were it on no other account
than that of its mere magnitude: and since the greater
the magnitude the greater the quantity of money which
it would place at the disposal of the manager, the
greater would be the variety it the power means it would afford
him of adding to the number and variety of
the sources attractions of attraction which it might be enabled to
afford.
Here then is another point way of view in which
it is impossible that the effect of any such reduction as that which the proposed reduction
as proposed should not be in a high degree in the scale
of magnitude should not be attended with a proportionable
reduction in the good effects its beneficial
influence.
