Reader. How say This Book of the political philosopher's
(you take upon you to say) had been all that while lying upon the
Poet Laureate's table. Good Sir! How do you know this? Editor. How can it have failed
to be there? A work
bearing for its title The
Church of Englandism
examined, by written
[+] in favour of the which by
matter of the
reprint

that much more importance

2. A second service derived to our cause from the work
of Dr Southey, is the evidence afforded by it [1] of the indefensibility indefensibleness
of the object of this our attack: of the justice of the observations of
Mr Bentham, by which the and dis of the
system are exposed to view by him, and of the
unexceptionableness of the proposed remedies proposed by him to be applied
to the same disorders

When the Book of the Church was published by Doctor
Southey your more or less had that work of
Mr Benthams been lying on his Table or his shelves. We assign
to it this station confident as we are that the learned
Doctor would if interrogated have too much regard to
to make answer in the negation. The author of the Fragment of
on Government. The Introduction to the principles of Mind. and Legislation,
the Springs of Action Table, the Defence of Usury, Swear not at all The Springs of
Action Table with so many Motions upon Motions with
et cætera et cætera — followed preceded or followed by those numerous works of his which
so many work of his through the medium
of the French language had so long been spreading light
all over the civilized world would not have remained is it possible that for such a
length of time, or for any the smallest part of it should have remained
all that time a subject ignorance or an object of indifference,
to a a Reviewer by profession? — to an so discursive and discerning as that
of Doctor Southey? Ask him the learned Doctor about this, if you have really any
doubt about ask him, and see what he will say to
you.

Well then. In this state of things what does this professed
literary Champion of the Church? He does what in the war of the sword, an able General —
a Duke of Wellington for example would have done in
his place: he attempts sets himself to words or makes a d as the
phrase is: to draw off the mens attention from the only object
of intrinsic and real importance namely the present state of
the establishment in question at the present time and the church
and conduct
and conduct and character of the
members of it, by directing
that same attention to the
state of this same establishment
in some former
time, and the conduct
and character of the members
of it in those same former
times.
