Indirect Legislation
§ 3
Mandarins Eunuchs
[In China] In certain countries of the east
eunuchs it is said are preferred to men for civil
offices: Qu. whatever in
Montesquieu having no children to provide for they want
that motive to peculation. How far this policy succeeds
in China I will can not pretend to say. In other accounts
the contrary pos policy seems preferable. infra. §. [Responsibility]
Catholic priests
a sort of eunuchs
[Catholic priests are a sort of Eunuchs] render'd
unprolific by a more cruel process [by a
means more cruel than the knife.] Catholic priests
are if they are what they profess to be are a
sort of eunuchs: being render'd unprolific, though
by a process means more cruel than the knife. But
as a principle of evil, nepotism, it is said, has
been found as strong an incentive as paternity.
[However it may be with the spiritual,] the temporal
patrimony of Saint Peter has never not been
much remarked for its good government.
