What
What I have not said is that I will
in no event derive reap any personal advantage.
What I did say is that my profit should I chance to
make any will be of my own making and not in no shape taken out of
the public purse
What I do say is that I will have no profit
and that whether I
make any or make
none, the national
expence far from so far from
instead of being increased
by me shall
be diminished.
till after the nation has reaped a benefit infinitely
greater, a profit benefit that they could not
have reaped without me. It would have been
quackery and not beneficence to have attempted to place ground
a perpetual establishment in its wisdom upon so tottering a base as that
of the casual and
unascertainable virtues of individuals
A permanent establishment
should
have a basis as
permanent as itself
To have taken for
that basis the casual
and unascertainable
virtues of individuals
would have been
quackery not beneficence
