Law Amendment or Penal CodePropositions

Look to all Monarchies, pure and mixt: Look
to Russia, Austria and Spain: Portugal: not overlooking not forgetting either France or
England: under both look to aristocracy. The
greater the mass of the elements of prosperity, favour more particularly the consummates the depravity, in
both shapes shapes intellectual and moral: in the quantity
of publicity, this proportion should never be of out of mind.
In Under a Constitutional Monarchy on the part of him in whom
is valid the principal part in the conduct of the government, talent
of a certain sort is necessary: fluency of speech in a certain
degree he must have, and with it a certain degree
of plausibility: the at command a certain quantity of these
vague generality phrases, vituperation and laudation, by
which persons and things are recommended to the favour
of those in whom he has to : in addition to beyond this little
or nothing more is necessary. Under a Constitutional Monarchy Of thus much a Prime
Minister must be in possession: of more than this it is not
necessary that he should be. But under a pure Monarchy
neither in this shape nor in any other is it necessary that
either Monarch or Ministers should be in possession of the
smallest grain of appropriate aptitude! What laid Godré
Prince of Peace? what laid the Monarch crowned Governor whom he governed?
What laid John the 6th or any of them who once were an
authority under him?
