Rationale of Reward

A fable of this sort is by no means an universal conversion one.
A more plausible argument plan for a universal system of legalized depredation and corruption
could scarcely have been found: plausible it can not
be denied to be by the Editor: for him it must have imposed upon or
he would not have inserted it: nor yet by the author, if he
wrote it: and he has no recollection to the contrary.

Mischievous as is is the tendency of it if at any rate
in no slight degree. For on the scale of possible augmentation
whereas on the point at which the inference presented by it would
stop? Answer: nowhere: so long as in the pocket of those
by whom whose labour the natural stock of wealth is produced enough is left
to keep them alive.

Immediately after it comes the supposed discovery, of which
if true the just mentioned state of things would be the consequence,
to wit that gold administered in a certain proportion dose
proportioned to situation is an moral antiseptic. This notion uses
unquestionably the authors: and in the interval of some 30 or 40 years
having become sensible of the erroneousness of it, he no
otherwise than honesty compels him to retract it.
