Ch.IV Means of Effectuation incitative

§.1. to Stockholders

Ch.IV

Means of effectuation, incitative: to the several parties whose cooperation is

necessary or would be beneficial, inducements to take the several parts

respectively desirous at their hands /of them/

§.1. Inducements to Shareholders and other Contributors

In the appellation other contributors is assumed the fact, that on the part [of]

persons, in number more or less considerable would have place a disposition to

contribute to the success of a plan by which so fair a promise is made of so

immense and incalculable an accession to the happiness of mankind: a disposition

to contribute to it according to the measure of their respective means and

inclinations; but unaccompanied with both means and inclination as to the

embarking in the enterprize a quantity of capital of the magnitude of the

proposed share of £50

For the inducements to this description of persons, reference may be made to the

objects set down as above in Ch1. under the head of Special ends in view.

In these same objects may likewise be seen the inducements that may [...?] and

reasonably be regarded as operating on the minds of the Stockholders every item

but the concluding one - namely

    Ch.IV Means of effectuation

    Inducements to §.4. Government

    §.4. Government - its inducements.

    Under the head Special ends &c (as per Ch.II have been brought to view those

    objects which it may be reasonably presumed will form no inconsiderable part of

    the inducements by which the accession of a portion more or less considerable of

    the members of the Company will have been produced [?]: these objects are

    neither more nor less than addition made to the sum of human happiness in so

    many distinguishable shapes. The accustomed forms of curtesy require that these

    same beneficial results should be considered as the objects the consideration of

    which will constitute so many inducements by which the several members will be

    led to give their concurrence to the institution: and to an extent more or less

    considerable, no doubt can be entertained but that this supposition will be

    conformable to the truth.

    So far as this is the case, the inducements on the part of Government will be

    identical with those which have place on the part of such contributors to the

    expence as are not Stockholders as also with the inducements on the part of

    Stockholders /of those who are Stockholders/ with the single exception of the

    article of profit, by which the inducements of Stockholders stand distinguished

    from the inducements of such contributors as are not Stockholders.
