& Hastings
Upon one pr expression only in particular of the
above passage I would wish to ground an observation.
Referen To justify In favour of of the policy in question
reference is made to the undeniable maxim that
to ensure make sure of a mans performing his duty, you must
render it his interest so to do. But does would might not punishment,
laid on in the common way render it a mans
interest? and so much the more his interest, as
punishment is capable in its own nature of being
made greater more forcible than reward? [The fact is that
the law is so much more certain of being executed
in the one way than in the other, that it is the
first method is that which naturally presents itself in the
first instance as if it were the only way in which an
interest could be created, such as it would be advisable
to trust to. The method of creating an
interest which operates by by means of reward, that is by rewarding or not rewarding is so much
more commodious and effectual than that which
works by punishment, that it presents itself
as if it were the only one.] Postpone
On a similar Proceeding in Having the same
principle in view, Mr Hastings in his plan for
the collection of the revenues of Bengal speaks the
same language. Give his words
