by any means the only one. If it were, the same advantage might be given
to buildings of almost any form. What is also of importance is that, 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 was
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 of less frequent occasion to give them such transient
and incidental directions, as must be given and enforced, at the
commencement at least of every course of industry.+ And it is most certain that
the business of inspection will be performed to a great degree of perfection
the less trouble it requires to perform it.
+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 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 the feeling, If I may so say, he has of his being
so. How little turn soever the greater number of the 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 these reasons, that I can not help looking upon every form
as less and less elligible, in proportion as it deviates from the circular.
