Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
84
I
could
not
refrain
from
expressing
my
admiration
of
a
system
so
wisely
calculated
to
give
the
state
the
benefit
of
all
the
talents,
information,
and
tried
integrity
of
the
nation.
Surui
asked
me
with
apparent
surprise,
if
we
the
Externals
did
not
select
men
to
fill
the
places
of
honour,
power,
and
trust,
with
the
same
scrupulous
attention
to
their
character,
purity
of
life,
usefulness
in
society,
and
goodness
of
heart.
I
was
ashamed
to
acknowledge
the
truth,
and
gave
him
a
specimen
of
the
veracity
of
an
External
by
replying,
"yes,
much
the
same,
at
least
in
the
State
of
New-York,
where
I
am
best
acquainted."
I
inquired
whether
the
order
of
Worthies
was
a
numerous
body,
and
was
informed
that
it
embraced
a
majority
of
the
men
of
mature
age;
all
of
whom
were
called
in
turn
according
to
the
order
of
their
admission,
to
fill
a
place
in
the
ordinary
council
of
the
Best
Man.
This
council
consists
of
one
hundred;
fifty-five
of
whom
must
be
of
the
Good,
forty
of
the
Useful,
and
five
of
the
Wise.
Such
persons,
however,
as
had
failed
to
maintain
the
character
which
obtained
their
admission
to
the
order,
might
be
excluded
from
a
participation
in
the
government;
and
the
Best
Man
had
the
power
to
pass
their
names
when
summoning
his
ordinary
council,
provided
he
did
not
at
any
time
pass
more
than
one-tenth
of
the
names
on
the
list:
for
that
proportion
was
deemed
the
utmost
that
could
possibly
deviate
from
the
paths
of
rectitude.
