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.
