Mere absence of the
sympathy could
be supposed to expose
Accountants to
greater oppression
from indolence thus
manifesting itself

In a situation thus cloathed with power, sympathy
Sympathy as towards the for the condition of powers individuals subject to the power it
will, so far as it has plain, operates in such a situation
of this mind , as a check to indolence. A question
which to the interrogator it may have cost scarce a second
of time to pin, may on the part of the proposed respondent
require b months to answer: and so in regard
to other requisitions. Before he issues forth any
such requisition, a human and considerate Inspector
will therefore consider - not merely whether in point of <add> apparent </del> </add>
pertinency, he is warranted in imposing this burthen; but even whether
supposing the information sought for by it capable of being apposite
pertinent and apposite, whether the benefit promised by it to the be
so considerable, as to [+][+] afford an sufficient adequate compensation and sufficient warrant for <add> the burthen with
which the individual will find imposed upon him by
compliance.

By a temper On a disposition in which this sort of sympathy is wanting
on a transfer insensible to the sufferings of another afflictions of others, the
idea of this burthen being disregarded finding the reason it heart insensible, will not
operate have any such effect as that of checking restoring the
excursions of the imperious hand.

Unfortunately But in the idea of the suffering produced by in the mind
of those mind also are whose misfortune it is to be subjected to
it, this is a sort of pride, much more common than could be wished, which finds a positive gratification: and this of the various modifications sort of pride this is that which has
obtained the name of tyranny.

But in a situation
served with power a
tyrannical disposition
finds a perfidious pleasure
a gratification
to pride and
of power - in the
idea of the distress
supposing thus produced
Thus it is, that in the a situation such as that of
an Inspector of Public Accounts, indolence and tyranny naturally contend
in producing <add> the question production of an habitual propensity to produce inflict
vexation on Accountants, long and that be an indefinite amount, by wanton, inconsiderate and useless questions and other requisitions.
