Sinecures

Connected with the subject of Sinecures, connected by the
closest ties, is the subject of Offices in expectancy:
and what forms the bond of connection shall here jus be hinted at, is, as will be seen more
particularly as we advance.

In a considerable great and encreasing number of instances, the same
office stands comes at the same time under both descriptions in both predicaments:
and every office which has become a
and of this without branch of government be left to its natural
growth the coincidence will ere long be compleat:
Under the existing order of things in the first place every office that
the emolument of which renders it worth acceptance an object to a "great
character" in a high situation, in the next place every
office which renders it with the acceptance of any
other person who in the character of relation, friend
or dependent has the honour to be be of familiar or
frequent access to any such great character – in
the last place every office which has the honour to
fall within the patronage and be at the disposal of any such great character has
a perpetual tendency to become of to fall into the predicament of a Sinecure: and
no sooner is it placed taken to place upon that privileged list,
than it becomes an object of though the emolument attached to it passes not some such
sum as £126 a year or even £8 a year, than
it becomes an object a subject of sollicitation to any the greatest of
characters in the highest of situations.
