12 June 1816
Polit. Deontology

If at any degree of the genealogical scale our ancestors were
wiser than us, then by for the same reason were their
immediate ancestors wiser than they: and thus we advance
backwards till at last we arrive at those who not having
in the art in question or the art of government any
experience at all could not any portion at all
of wisdom considered or applied to the art of government.

Instead of saying the referring to the wisdom of
ancestors refer rather to the wisdom of the
inhabitants of New South Wales, for by going
to a certain length in the line of our ancestry some
generation we shall be finding may make more of finding who on the scale
of wisdom occupied exactly the same level as that
which are occupied by the aborigines of New
South Wales. On Of On our ancestors with their
wisdom unhappily we can not take bestow have so much as
a momentary glympse glance, whereas by going to at the
price of a trip to New South Wales we may not
only take a view of those felons in South Wales
but study them as long and admire them as much as we
please.
