Number of them, four: the two first of which you will see to
be in the very nature of things altogether unsusceptible
of all remedy; the two others not indeed altogether so;
but susceptible of no other remedy than a palliative one,
such as that which in the case of each vice I shall
have to offer to your consideration. Here then they
follow.

I. Uselessness: remedy absolutely none.

II. Inaptitude, positive and comparative: – comparative,
comparison had with the institution of Prime
Minister in a Commonwealth, as above-mentioned;V remedy none (as will be seen) here too absolutely
none.

III. Costliness, and to a vast amount; comparison
had again with the institution of Prime Minister: remedy
scantiness; and this upon a scale having for its highest
point the lowest that can be seen anywhere exemplified
in the situation of Monarch: and for its lowest,
zero; after passing through the costliness of the situation
of a President of the above-mentioned United States.

IV. Corruptiveness: the matter by the abstraction of which
it is rendered costly being in quality and quantity
the same by the distribution of which it is rendered
corruptive, what remedy is applicable to the first of
the two is in the same proportion applicable to the
other.

Note here that the institution having corruption for
one of its supports and delusion for the other, so it is that
the matter of corruption operates at the same time in the
character of an instrument of delusion: and of the
delusion one effect is so to dazzle men's eyes as to cause
the inaptitude to be taken not merely for average aptitude
but for superior and matchless aptitude.

To the idea, imperfect as it unavoidably is, of this supposed more
eligible succedaneum to a Constitution with a king in it,
expression having thus been given I return to the vices with
which I have spoken of Kingship as being tainted; beginning
as before with the completely irremediable ones.

First as to the uselessness: of a functionary so lavishly
endowed with power and pay the uselessness stands
