The value of a Colonial appointment depends upon so many circumstances besides the salary that the Secretary of State often cannot jadee what would be acceptable to an officer. Applicants for promotion should therefore, in their own interests, stare as precisely as possible what they desire, either specifying certain appointments, or at least mentioning tite Colonies to which they would or would not be willing to go and the amount of salary which they think that they may reasonably expect.
