Rationale of Rewards

To render it credible, every effect must have
it's assigned cause: for the conversion thus stated to
have been produced, a cause of no slight efficiency was
necessary. By the Minister, the discovery is made of the
till then undiscovered principle in human nature:
this he has the liberality to communicate to his royal
master, and the master the docility to swallow. Men
in general, says the discourse, have been regarded as
disposed – each one – not only to seek his own profit,
but to seek it even at another's loss. No, says he: this is
not so, except in a situation of the deepest distress. Give
to each a subsistence, be it ever so bare an one, all
desire, of benefiting himself at the expence of others, will
thus be removed.

Such is the observation the truth of which,
when once mentioned, was so manifest to the Monarch,
that he reversed, from that moment, the whole tenor
of his so long established financial policy: he who, with
an income of so many millions a year to begin with,
subjects, as well as those whom his rapacity lawfull and
shameless rapacity had made his enemies, as many millions
of pounds more as, by the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of human beings
he could succeed in laying hands on.
