10 C Of Prodigality in Trustees
NOTE
I will here mention an anecdote which I have
from good authority . Catherine the 2d Empress of
Russia conceived a the design of instituting a new
form plan of administration for one of her the governments —
of that empire . But persons qualified to assist in
such a work , scarce as they must be in any
country , were not to be found in plenty on that
new - formed empire . + + See Regliment Preface The politics upon M. Sievers
a gentleman of Livrnia , Fit worthy in every respect
of that arduous office in every respect but one , the
misfortune of having being involved in debt in a country
in which examples of such improvidence are unhappily
but too common . She took him into consultation
notwithstanding , and to him the Russian
Empire is indebted in some measure for the excellent magnificent
plan of administration chalked out in that work.
She did more ; she appointed him in the capacity
of Governor to superintend the execution of the laws
in the framing of which he had taken an active
part. She appointed him ; but when ? not till after
she had discharged his debts at the expence of 20000 £1
