Beginning

Of Appropriate intellectual aptitude there are again two distinguishable branches: 1. appropriate knowledge or say information, and appropriate judgment say /in other words/ scientific aptitude, and judicial aptitude

Of appropriate moral aptitude the degree will depend upon the conjunct effective force of á³á á³á distinguishable causes: namely 1. original or innate disposition, and superventitious inducements.

These [...?] /sources/ by which these inducements will principally be furnished are 1. the force of the popular or moral sanction, as applied by the Public Opinion Tribunal: 2. the force of the political including the legal sanction, as applied by the power of the judicial tribunals and by the other powers exercised by the several functionaries of government. In addition to the force of these sanctions may be added or at the force of the sympathetic sanction acting on a scale commensurate to that of the the whole community and having for its object the happiness of the whole, and the force of the religious sanction But as applied to the conduct of public functionaries the force of these two sanctions does not always exist in any perceptible quantity, and where it does exist /has place/ is not exposed to any such principle of measurement as has place in the case of the two sanctions abovementioned.

Of appropriate scientific aptitude the degree will be in the conjunct ratio of the effective force of á³á á³á causes 1. innate disposition as above. 2. absence or presence of apt means and sources of information: 3 effective force of such inducements the tendency of which is to engage the individual in the endeavour to possess himself /become possessed/ of appropriate aptitude in the shape here in question by the application of such means to their respective ends.
