Reformists review.

Peel
His Acts

No reform as to
lengthiness in discourse

(4)

So much for the bulk of the whole. Now as to length of the the parts

In ordinary what unlearned discourse length of sentences — [distance between nominative
case and verb] has its length limit: in learned discourse
( meaning always under matchless constitution)
it has none. Between the nominative at the beginning and the verb [through at the end
a whole length of it] not fewer than four of these small-typed and
close-written pages: all this while panting almost t over
the unhappy substantive looking with unscripted longing
for the moment of the so his long deferred union with his
beloved speech-fellow. No man who either at Westminster
or St Paul's has been whipt through either of the pretient
grammars can be at a loss to have a stranger to the
of the parts of speech as be the ordinary of with which they sigh
for each others f fond embrace. What would be have been the feelings
were they it their misfortune to fall into the hands of Mr Peel
or of one of his learned butchers? The days times in which this
which gave birth to those Statutes which his operators these operators of his
have taken for their model were those in which in a Romance
some folio volume would intervene between the day which
gave to the Hero and Heroine the first sight of each other, and
the night which first consigned them to the same place
of rue and rapture.

In some eyes indignation rather than might
seem the To called for by the occasion: but the good humoured pleasantry is at any rate more pleasant
than innovation: and, so long as malignation is kept down, sensibility
is the less grated upon and wounded
