proprietors with fit land belonging to them I have neither any
knowledge nor ant tolerable hope.

Thus it stands as between proprietor & proprietor: &
as far as neighbourhoods may be supposed to be concerned, thus
also does it stand as between neighbourhood & neighbourhood.

A new choice (as far as the Proposer were to be
concerned in making it a power from which he could not
be wholly precluded as will be seen presently) a new choice
would lodge a very strong & extensive power in the hands of
an individual, who were he to listen to the suggestions of
personal interests or affections might be under temptation
to abuse it. He might pick out situations adapted to his own
interest or caprice, to the disregard of much superior interests
on the part of great numbers of individuals. By the power
of turning the scale as between situations standing on the
same footing in point of apparent eligibility with a view to
the public service, he might lay individuals or even neighbourhoods
as it were under contribution. It certainly does
not lie in his mouth to say that by him any such oppression
would actually be exercised: and to the few into whose
hands this paper may come it may perhaps appear,
that the more ready he has been to give warning of the
temptation
