The choice of the profession is made for the future For the future Officer in question, the choice of the
profession is made in this case not so much
by the future officer himself at a mature time of life and at the very time
of the payment of the purchase money and the consequent assumption of the office
of paying down the money and into thereupon entering
into the office, but at an immature time of life
by a father parent or other Guardian who thinks for him
and did devotes him to this line of service.
But of to him to whom the profession itself he is not an object of
aversion insuperable aversion, that the office should
be is as secure as possible: to the profession it is that
all the burthen attaches, to the office all the benefit.
The profession once engaged in, the office whether
obtained by an a gift or by purchase, will to the amount in proportion to
the amount of the neat profit be in both cases equally acceptable.
