Reformists reviewed.

Peel
His Acts

4
This no addition to
the happiness of the
hearty vulgar but only to
that of Judge & Co
the Houses & Cabinet

(2)

To the happiness of the vulgar, the mob, in a word the lower orders
the people as you call them will thus make any addition."
But why ask them, this is not worth thinking a thought about. To
My distinguished friends of the labour the Bar, the Bench, the Houses
and the Cabinet, to their happiness it will make addition,
and this done, every thing is done

5
The vulgar supposed
to be made for the
use of the Bar the
Bench the House
& Cabinet

By constitution Beasts were made for the use of

man: among men, the vulgar were made for the Bar, the
Bench, the House and the Cabinet, and the express image of God

person here on earth: radicals, for the use of Whigs and Tories.

6
In this way only
can happiness be
encreased by consolidation

Behold then, how it is that by consolidation addition
is made to happiness — the only happiness worth thinking
about. By consolidation may my learned friends will
be enabled, with less of in happiness as poring
over grimgribbers will be enabled to learn what rights have
been conferred, what obligations imposed. In regard to rights To them may there
other learned friends In regard to rights then as the exclusive property of all and my aforesaid friends to these learned and
all knowing persons, and other learned persons being so well
stacked with the necessary means will on each occasion address themselves
make application in the proper manner and have whatsoever as much
as it is either their interest or desire to know. In regard
to obligations these are belong to the property of the aforesaid mob vulgar
used to render it possible for the lower orders would
be an injury to my learned friends. For
like any obligation you when a man fails of fulfilling
it, justice requires that he shall he should be punished for the
failure. But before a man is punished, Justice requires
that two sets of my learned friends should be employed — one
set in accusing him another set in defending him. If then
every man had notice of his obligations what would become of my
learned friends? The bar would be a desert. And what would become
of Benches and Officers and those several and inhabitants of Divested of their vested
rights
rights & fees those
among my learned friends
would be reduced to
live on salaries!!!
Forbid it dignity!
Forbid it Justice!
