II. 2 36.

Amplitude of the means will be as the openness of the scene: —

Potency of the motives, — will be as the number of the motives, the force of each, and the number of the persons actuated by it. p. 12.

II. 3 37.

II. 7 41.

3. To curiosity, attractiveness of the bait, is as the magnitude of the establishment.

4. To jealousy or envy the excitement is inversely as the number of the managers, directly as their altitude. Their altitude is as the magnitude of the establishment; thence, on a double account the efficiency of the security is as the magnitude of the establishment. p.13.

II.8 42.

§ 8. III 1. 43.

§.10 VII. 1.

50 or 1

VII. 2.

51 or 2

But, with the invention, in the unfittest hands that could be chosen the management would be better carried on, than without it in the best possible hands p. 18

VII. 3

52 or 3

Hence J.B. could never without a pang hear of the institution of any other establishment to which the principle is applicable: particularly for prisoners of war. p

Hence his anxiety that none such should be begun till this is tried. p.1.9.
