9. or 1. The Universal Petty Tyrant Duellist. This sort of
character bred under and by the existing system – a character more extensively
exemplified than can have been commonly supposed
affords an instructive conclusion finale to the list.
He is commonly known or supposed to be an irresistable swordsman or
sure marksman, and to be ready prepared to make proof
of his talent on all occasions. With this qualification for
, he makes choice of his has has but to choose his gratification whatsoever happen to be most to his taste and look
out for those whom men whom opportunity qualifies for
becoming his instruments and appropriate timidity for
becoming his slaves. Scarcely can imagination frame to
itself a surer or safer game. Not a slave can he have
who, is not by the strongest ties of prudence as well as which the
passion of fun is capable of imposing (and passion is here
sanctioned and fortified by prudence, is not bound to secresy:
and to the existence of the dominion thus exercised it is not necessary
that in the part breast of any one individual other than the tyrant and the slave
should be apprised of it so much as a suspicion of it should
have place.⊞ ⊞ By a man thus prepared
gratification may be afforded
not only to his own mischievous
appetites, but
for hire direct or virtual
to those of any number
of other persons. Unlimited Boundless therefore is the extent to which
in a state of society and public opinion favorable to it, this system of dark
and private tyranny may have place more intrusive and inevitable
than even political tyranny may at this moment have
place. Whether the here proposed system does not bid fair to
eradicate stay the plague in this its most baleful as well as the
several other shapes, the reader will have to judge.
