1829. Aug. 13
Reformists reviewed.

Peel's Acts
Act 3/7

(3

Alas! alas! we were within an ace of being
deceived by him our Right Honorable Reformist and his learned advisers. For the
comfort by all these relations put together how is
is that no addition is made. No: True but what is better
be the is a more substantial shape — the persuading
shape, benefit to the extent of what it would not be
very easy to set a limit is conferred on them. So many
relictions so many eventual sources of doubt.so many
doubts so many eventual law-: with as ill-grounded
demands, with as ill grounded defences. were
confounded — thus on every occasion the of law
required it made by hurried arguments
arrived at: this on the present occasion the mark by
that same ingenuity so happily hit

the waters, the better the
fisherman's chance

Such is the benefit lying at the bottom of this wisdom
But on the surface lies the burthen we have been seeing
and will not the plague of the burthen be apt in general
to be more sensible perceptible than the value of the instant benefit
Sickness in the stomach — how often may it not be the

hand of the "authors" of these lists we he states himself — in
the hand of the same author to be who he may is the
power of giving parts to Acts: Yes to all Acts as well
those made on his part, as those about to be made in times
future.
