10 C Of Prodigality in Trustees
NOTE
I will here mention an anecdote which I have
from good authority. Catherine the 2d Empress of
Russia conceived a the design of instituting a new
form plan of administration for one of her the governments —
of that empire. But persons qualified to assist in
such a work, scarce as they must be in any
country, were not to be found in plenty on that
new - formed empire. + + See Regliment Preface The politics upon M. Sievers
a gentleman of Livornia, Fit worthy in every respect
of that arduous office in every respect but one, the
misfortune of having being involved in debt in a country
in which examples of such improvidence are unhappily
but too common. She took him into consultation
notwithstanding, and to him the Russian
Empire is indebted in some measure for the excellent magnificent
plan of administration chalked out in that work.
She did more; she appointed him in the capacity
of Governor to superintend the execution of the laws
in the framing of which he had taken an active
part. She appointed him; but when? not till after
she had discharged his debts at the expence of 20000 £1
