12 June 1816
Polit. Deontology

Wherever you learn any of the those above locutions which
form forming part of the phraseology vocabulary of misrule are
subservient to its ends, make sure that the mouth
or pen from which it comes is either the mouth of
some crafty tool of the ruling one or the ruling few
by whom the of the source of it to not perceive the
end at least to which it tends is and recognized adopted and
pursued, is of some thick-headed dupe who adding
to his ignorance and to that indolence which is the
source of it that the presumption and the groundless arrogance
and the blind obstinacy which are such
natural frank and concomitants of both,
is to accepts as the sole standard of right
and wrong that course of practice which having
accepts as the only standard of right and wrong which
he is either able or willing to entertain any conception
of the practice of those who have had the power of
the state in their hands: the practice of those who
in the pursuit of ends different from and opposite to
the only genuine and acknowledged end of government
have been throughout guided and government by them are personal thence
narrow and thence sinister interest – employing having
even for the pursuit of that narrow object no better
guide than that comparative deficiency comparatively defective stock of experience
the deficiency of which is necessarily greater and greater the further
more remote the past period which gave place to it
is from present time.
