will may be some heads, it is true, under which with a view to
the public purpose, the very entry may come to be
(it will be observed) be
it , be rendered more copious and particular
and particular under some heads, with a view to
the public purposes than for the purpose of private
economy and good management the individual
would have found any one in if making them.
But the difference can hardly be of any great
magnitude, and a compensation for it is — that
the heads containing the plan or scheme of
Book-keeping will have been furnished to the
individual by government, that is by the proposed
Board without any branch of his bestowed on the
framing of it, and with little or no without any addition in his
(for little or none would be necessary)
to his expence. The great difference in point of real truth and reluctance is — not
between the keeping Books under a greater
number of kinds and keeping them under a less
number of heads — but between the keeping of
books and not keeping of Books at all. For
a means once taken and that of his private connections no degree of coercion that shall be
necessary to induce him to keep books once
will be regarded as excessive too great: and when once a man is
brought to task upon himself him this trouble, the addition
of sub heads as may be unnecessary for the
public purpose in question heads ready framed for him and put into his hands will be pro-
will if they are properly framed, be made so as not to be without being
productive of any sensible inconvenience.
As to precedent, how ample the sanction
is which the proposed obligation has received
on that ground, has already been stated in the
paper of Preliminary Observations
