Observations continued.

The quantum of a qualification is capable of being limitable to exactness on the side of by the num
ber of qualified persons to be found: a fact capable of being established, & which when established, cuts
off all dispute! It is altogether otherwise on that of ; on that side, arguments
shall point to any certain degree in the scale in exclusion of the rest, are what it is plainly
not in the nature of the subject to afford. What exact fortune shall be sufficient to fortify a
against the temptations to which the office may expose him, or to serve as a presumption of his possession,
the talents & entertaining the sentiments required for it, are questions that must ever be abandoned to
conjecture.

The 2d of these problems, to judge of facility by success, is far from being the easiest in the science to
resolve with accuracy. The names for the several divisions of property, however familiar they may
have become, by use, are unhappily, as we have already seen in one instance, so tainted with

as to be unfit for it; and those which might be substituted in the room of them, should they
even be universal and determinate, would, for a time at least, appear obscure for want of being familiar.
