Look, for example, to the situation of the Monarch.
ForIn the procuring to him, for example, that sort of qualification which
is afforded by quick motion, together with prompt conveyance
at all times to the several different places at which a promise
is afforded of successive gratification to his several other appetites,
horses, in vest multitudes, each in respect of its capacity of affording
gratification to those by whom it is used and abused, brought, by a
long and expensive course of trainers, to the most exquisite degree of
perception possible — the labour of men in correspondent multitudes
having been exclusively consecrated to this one purpose, a proportionable
quantity of money has necessarily been employed. But
for the good management fo an establishment of this kind, goes
management, so far as regards aptitude for the service, is really
desired. In the hands of an individual, and not in those of a
Board is thus branch of the public service accordingly lodged. For
were it in the hands of a Board, each member, in name reality
as well as in name and pretence bearing a his part in the business,
what is sufficiently understood is that there never would
be a horse fit for service: each member would appoint to the management
of one of the sacred horses some dependent of his who
had never had any thing to do with horses. Constituting a necessary
exception to the general rule this branch of the public service
therefore of necessity have found itself in individual hands. For
the performing in the best possible manner this important service,
were this the whole of the service thought fit to be required at
the hands of the individual, an extremely moderate annual
salary, not more than out ten or twenty times the expenditure of
an individual whose severe and bodily labour is employed in the production of
these four-footed and preeminently favoured subjects of a monarchy,
would be sufficient.
