Bad kingly properties
with emollient remedies
to the effect of their
1. Uselessness. remedy now
2. Inaptitude. remedy now
3. Costliness. remediable
4. Corruptness - remediable
more.I

Thus much being settled promised, taking in hand the characterisation
Kingly properties, I proceed.

1. Uselessness the valuation: irremediable otherwise then byremedy now absolutely other than
by abolishing it is abstaining from thecounting ration of it

2. Inaptitude, in the p and imperative, relativecomparation had
comparasing, had with the institution of
with the Prime Minister in a Commonwealth, as above
above mentioned, remedy (as will be seen) here too absolutely now.|

Irremediable as will be seen utterly irremediable
3. Costliness on the partinstance of every individual in that selection

3. Costliness and to a vast amount: comparison had again with the

institution of Prime Minister, absolutely[+]inaptitude remedy of the palliative kind and that of being clear
alone here applicable: remedy pen Of the being of the application of it be that
of the forest establishment
of this institutionas, in
the present case, retrenchment,
of it be any
part of
precedent law
[+] spring into
of it therefore
[+] scantiness: and not that upon a scale having for its highest point the est that can be seen any where
exemplified in the situation of the Monarch; and f for its lowest zero after passing through the
costliness of the situation
cost of it Precedent
of the above natural
United States

among, unless of who made King be is found already

4. Corruptiveness. The matter by the abstraction of what
as possible of a Kingly increase: but capable of being
it is rendered costly being the in quality and quantity
lessened, and so for and in that time not remediable
the same by the distribution of which it is rendered
above corruption, what remedy is applicable to the first
off the , appl is in the same proportion applicable
4. Corruptiveness This mischievous property will be seen
to the other. | and
to follow from to bler irreparably to his costliness

Note here - that corruptionthe institution having corruption for one of its supports and
delusion for the other
so it is. that
being one of the support
and to be in that same state extent, and in that
of the of
same sense, not irremediable.
the matter of corruptive operates at the same time

15
Matter of corruption
being so of delusive
Effect of the delusion
making men false
inaptitude for matchless
aptitude

As to the matter of corruption, the matter by which
the corruptive effect is formalized it will be seen to operating
as to one part of it, in the capacity character of an instrument
of delusion; and, of the delusion one effect will do to is
so to dazzle mens eyes, as to cover the inaptitude
inaptness to be taken - not only merely for average aptitudes, but for
superior and matchless aptitude.

Midas turned every
Meage thing into gold
King, to corruption

Midas in the fable, turned every thing into gold by
trusting it. A King the Corruptior General above spoken of - turns everything into corruption: are thus by [+] which isso perably
interent of the situation
and what I should
presumably to
bring to view - to
cause it I say

merely standing over above every thing without being of gold in
hand, and being in that such elevation situation looked up to
by those who crave it. from the situation of those who are beneath it] from those whose situation is under it.
To produce the effect upon men not has the King is it necessary
that the King should to the King to part with.

All thus will be see developed and in detail. Thus
much may serve for announcement.
