was endure by one of the powerless, this crime Jeremy Bentham

and to whose open vengeance he exposed himself.

was he seconded? By no creature. By no Not

by what Members of so much as the Public
sitting without has he ever been seconded? Not to
speak of Whig Periodicals, by what ever Radical
periodical? By no one. Turning their backs upon the sin
as if with an accord upon this sin of sins, they kept on

Acts that the demon of Tyranny with the advice and
of the Demon of Chicane ever inviolate
