Rationale of Reward
§.1. Scale of Ranks
Suppose no such thing in existence, service
generally useful, will, in proportion as it is known,
be followed by general respect. By an attraction
less natural than that of gravity, such service draws to
it it's own reward, and that in the best adapted
proportion imaginable: to increase this attractive
power, all that is necessary or ever wanting, is notoriety.
To this purpose, as to most others, the power
of government is applicable: and, with the exception
of money and power, in so far as money or power
is necessary, nothing so well adapted as this notoriety
applied to the individual service rendered
on each occasion by the individual can be done,
by the power of government towards the encrease of the stock of generally useful
service by the power of government.
