Constitutional Code
Preface —
Static functions
Fondness of pay and goodness of service go together
So with for . Vastness of pay and badness of service
No individual can have any pretence for taking affront: or to ask without exception
not to any one in particular is the eye of suspicion directed. Be the objector who he may, Of the well groundedness
of the suspicions is proof more conclusive could not be desired than his
aversion to the precautions
dictated by it.
On no supposition
can this distress be
open to a subject of just complaint
Whatever Be the mischief
which a man is prevented
from doing what it may
if be the man in question
who he may, if he is
disposed to do it, the
check is necessary: if
he is not disposed to
do it, the check
will not hurt him
he will not feel it
p it nor can
he: at the very
worst it can not be
worse than needless.
But between
those in whom it is
needful and those
in whom it is needless
who shall draw the
line?
In this Code, one of the most striking features will
probably enough be, the strictness with which functionaries in
all time and grades, but more especially the highest, are in
here endeavoured to be held to their duty. It will be stiled unprecedented:
and the assertion conveyed expressed by this epithet, is unquestionably

will be understood to be conveyed: to this assertion no

It is unprecedented: why? Only because the fact
the Code having for its object endeavour the greatest good happiness of the greatest number
is unprecedented.
What person willing of filling such offices will be
of being prevailed upon to accept them?
Altogether natural the question likewise. The answer is this
person whatsoever: every person who is worthy; no person
who is not worthy: and to keep out those who are not only
this is one main use and object in view in the establishment of them.
A few examples excepted, the facility of a Constitution
of which corruptic in the primum m one main object
is that for against the ad of those for whose use the constitution has been got up
in degree of in our shape or degree relates inaptitude
oppose a bar.
Be the r what it may ever so large the existence of a
in the office proves the sufficiency of it, but be it ever so that which is proposed
ever so either insufficiency of it is not proved by the
of their allotments of remuneration which are any
where in use, for many are the in which offices
and those loaded with every duty are accepted and
without un
So again as the quality and of attendance.
