Sinecures
What in short is for example an Auditorship of
the Exchequer? what is a Fellowship? It is a another perpetual
pension or an endless succession of pensions, a perpetual pension
which as upon every vacancy often as a vacancy takes place happens must be
given away – given must be given to somebody, whether
there be or be not any body person within view who either
has done or can be so much as said to have done
anything by which he has considered himself deserving
of it.
An Academy when for the best composition
in this or that subject it offers a prize the Academy if no composition
on the subject is offered, are none by which the
prize is thought to have been merited, withheld the
prize. A Sinecure which being if it be a prize,
is a prize for anything rather than public service merit
for anything rather than real merit, never is withholden:
why? because to produce give bulk public service, to produce
real merit is never among the objects of it.
