Observations
IV. Regulations
§. 30
32 continued

Suspecting Apprehensive <add>Under the apprehension that the answers to the two first of the
above three questions would be found to be in the negative,
and that to the third in the affirmative, I
have in conformity to that apprehension framed the
provisions of this Bill have been framed accordingly.

The advantage here immediately sought for by the licencing system would not be the
only advantage derivable from an uniform system
of marking for all such goods as are the produce
of human skill and art. It would be operate
as a preventative of frauds, by bad g goods
suppositious in specie as bad in quality, and it
would at the same time as a premium for bounty upon extraordinary
skill and merit, a premium bounty of a sort naturally
apport proportioning itself to the degree of
merit. In the former of these views, marks have
already been prescribed by Statute in a variety
of instances: in the latter very little, if any, thing
appears to be as yet to have been done. The thing requisite would be -
to afford a man protection for this particular
branch of reputation (the reputation resulting from
the having ascribed to him all his own works and
none but his own works) by per considering it as
being legally making as a species of forgery (a morally case speaking it is already)
for any one man to counterfeit the mark which
any other man sets upon employs for the purpose of distinguishing his work. But, for this
purpose, a system of marks would require to be
devised, diversified according to these various capacities
of receiving in respect of the receiving of such marks, which result from the nature qualities, forms, and magnitudes
of the different classes of goods.
