Concealing cloak
its uses

At the institution of the India Board L the late Lord
Melville was made President. Look for the persons
the Court Calendar will shew you
some of them paid in one shape, some in another: all fleas, some of them of them ally wasps.
Unless by special desire of the President not one of these had any
thing more to do with the business than the Pope of Rome has
Not so much as a paper ever found its way into their
hands. All Every thing in the Board that so much as
pretended to think was buttoned into the waistcoat of
the President. Conquered little by little from the Company East India Company
the choicest part of the patronage was absorbed into the general
p-bug, and went to swell the helped to swill the receptacle of
corruptive influence

Mr Dundas had known no other than the Scotch
Catechism. But Mr Post had learnt enough of the English
for this and so many other purposes.

House — Boards — B — from top to bottom nothing is thought
well done, unless in some shape or other Imposture has a hand
in it. In this consists the only art really understood in the
practice of what goes by the name of government: in proportion
as this art is understood and practised, of every honest
art both good understanding and good practice are then rendered impossible.

To betray trust without being punished for doing so,
and if possible without being seen to do so — to sacrifice with
impunity every public to every private and personal interest,
this is the only art practised, and nor to be practised does
even this art require to be understood. If practice required
thought, not even would this sweetest of all arts be practised. But
substituting reading to thinking — reading an art which may be practised
by every Clerk who can read, President steps in and saves the trouble
even
even of thought. The
corruption of an a voluntarily ignorant
ass finds ill convenience
in receiving the law from
the still coarser corruption
of a an involuntarily still more ignorant
ape.

Nothing would more surely exclude a man from all hope of office than an the experience of any acquaintance with insight into the honest arts of government.
