Brougham Exordium
His situation

By Brougham veneration
expressed for existing
system

(1)
Omitted 30 Aug.

Page 1. "My deep veneration for all that is good
"in our judicial system — — and my habitual respect for
"those in whose hands the administration of it is placed,"
Thus does Brougham look up to his subject, and to the
men whom he found doing with it as they pleased This
veneration why this deep? Amores immederate " Not
"to offend prejudices": the respect why these habitual?
Answer not to "vex personal feelings."

Reason. Compelled
to speechify in a
strait waistcoat

Up to his subject and its name thus looks at his Henry
Brougham: And why thus? Let Cicero answer. for him
Such was his situation as to compel him in vinculis
sermoinari : Angelici to speechify in a strait waistcoat.

Peel's image the
strait waistcoat

This strait waistcoat what was it made of? even
the image figure of Mr Peel: omnium jobberonium The opposite to the learned and
Honorable and the Right Honorable Gentlemen whose destiny
it was to be the verbium of his eloquence, cutting
to strips and tatters all that whatever good he had said talked
of and endeavoured to do

Under matchless
constitution all
reform turned to
Job

Under a sort of certain morbid diathesion of the constitution
of the body & natural, sweet-things in whatever shape turn to acid — heart-burn
generating acid, So Under matchless constitution, reform
in whatever shape turn to job. Such was the destiny of
the mellifluous person of Henry Brougham. Reform they
were as they flowed from his lips. Peel with his Treasury
rennet was at hand: he applied it — acidized them —
and at the end of the speech, out they came in the
form of job. Partial scraps of legislation, two: Common
Law Procedure and Real property transfer law: Sets of Commissions
instead of his Brougham proposed one, crammed down his throat
by the Home Secretary, that on another they might be brought
up
up again as his, as
accordingly they were
Purpose of the aim
Commission (at least we
have to think) bringing
about in Reform: Purpose of the two Commissions, two: keeping out Reform; not bringing in job
