Letter V. Essential points of the Plan.
for the greatest proportion of time possible, each man should actually be under
inspection. This is material in all cases, that the Inspector may have the
satisfaction of knowing, that the discipline actually has the effect which it is
designed to have: and it is more particularly material in such cases, where the
Inspector, besides seeing that they conform to such standing rules as are
prescribed, has more or less frequent occasion to give them such transient and
incidental directions as will require to be given and enforced, at the commencement
at least of every course of industry. And, I think, it needs not much argument
to prove, that the business of inspection, like every other, will be performed to
a greater degree of perfection, the less trouble the performance of it requires.
Not only so, but the greater chance there is, of a given person's being
at a given time actually under inspection, the more strong will be the persuasion
the more intense, If I may so say, the feeling, he has of his being so. How little turn soever
the greater number of persons so circumstanced may be supposed to have for
calculation, some rough sort of calculation can scarcely, under such circumstances
avoid forcing itself upon the rudest mind. Experiment, venturing first upon
slight transgressions, and so on, in proportion to success, upon more and more
considerable ones, will not fail to teach him the difference between a loose
inspection and a strict one.
It is for this reason, that I cannot help looking upon every
form as less and less eligible, in proportion as it deviates from the circular.
A very material point is, that room be allotted to the Lodge,
sufficient to adapt it to the purpose of a compleat and constant habitation for
the principal Inspector, or Head Keeper, and his family. The more
