New Wales Right wanting

to my own use is no reason to justify my applying
my power to any such this use: and that, supposing
100,000 more out of 10 millions 100,000
more having the same taste with myself and
the same powers, their rights to gratify the
one in this way and exercise the other could
not stand upon any better ground than mine
No — matters of delight and
entertainment to the prvileged few are matters grounds <add>subjects</add>
for voluntary contribution: not for forced levies
wrung from the grasp of the reluctant poor by the claw of the Exciseman.

This is no Utopian vision romantic theory — I speak
from what I know before my eyes see Take two instances — the
establishment for the encouragement of the
British fisheries, and that for the prosecution
of discoveries in the interior parts of Africa.
In both instances those only who are to share
in the benefit has any share of the burthen.
In the one we see amusement joined with of profit:
in the other with science. In use as other
way both bear a near? relation to the establishment
in question: the first a plan of colonisation;
the other of geographical discovery.
