Taken together the several forms of sinister interest, interest-begotten prejudice and authority-begotten prejudice, constitute the seductive force the tendency of which is to draw aside the course of the workman and thence of his operation, and of the work from the line of appropriate aptitude. Any force the tendency of which is to keep the course of the workman and thence of the work steady in the right path in this same line of aptitude operates in the character of a guardian power or tutelary force. Such a force is the force of the tribunal of public opinion - otherwise termed the force of the popular or moral sanction, considered in its application/ as applying/ to this subject.

The seductive force is the temptation the inducement to take the wrong path: the tutelary force, the sanction acting in opposition to that body of temptation: the inducement to take the right path: to pursue to act in the line of appropriate aptitude.
