Letter II

But suppose (what way possibly be the result, on
the principle that half a loaf is better than no bread,) suppose, that the King
sits down quiet, (i.e. not perpetually declaredly and on every occasion hostile, for contented
& satisfied it is not possible he should be with what he has:
for no king ever was satisfied with what he had) — what is the
consequence? At his disposal is almost the whole stock of
the external instruments of felicity — objects of general not to
say universal desire — that belong to Government: money, power
& even still factitious dignity: offices, commissions, donations,
pensions. Close to him sits the Representatives of the people; not one
of all those good things is there, but what it is in his power
3

to give: not one but what it is in the power of every one of them
to receive: if not while they are in such their situation, immediately
or almost immediately when they are out of it: if not
each one by his own hand, each one (which comes exactly to the
same thing) by the hand of this on that connection or dependent
of his: a dependent so circumstanced, that, by procuring for him
a provision to a certain amount at the public expense, he saves
money of his own to exactly the same amount.
