In appropriate moral aptitude he is
likely to be superior. Why? because at the earlier age
a man is more likely to be influenced by social
affections in displace of self regarding and dissocial
ones, than at the more advanced age. Youth, in a
word, is the season of virtue.
2. For any deficiency in moral aptitude,
no abundance in appropriate aptitude in any
other shape can, there is continual occasion to
observe, alone: aggregate aptitude, instead of being
increased, is lessened by it.
But if appropriate aptitude in other
shapes be taken into account— in one shape, namely
appropriate active aptitude, so far from being
lessened, if experience is to decide it, is increased by it.
Scarcely had they exceeded the age of 21 when Pitt and
Fox, leaders of the two parties, distinguished themselves
above their fathers, and became leaders.
3. A man under 30 is less likely to be chosen
than a man above 30, and so in general of two
men so long as one of them is not arrived at the
age of caducity, the elder is more likely to be chosen
than the younger. Why? Because, whatsoever be
the qualities that are likely to recommend a man
to preference on this occasion, the elder a man is,
the longer is the time he has had for bringing them
to view.+
+So in favor of Aristocracy, rank and
birth give this advantage.
