Preface
Though I have to speak of Rebellion and Hate-Libels,
I hope I shall be forgiven, though I have not should
be found not to have declaimed against a mob-monarchy; nor called
Kings Tyrants because they might could be so. One
thing only I will avow maintain without reserve that where the many
govern it can only might only be for the (sake of) the more;
and that where [it is] but one [that] governs the case
is still the same. the power is in the many, the benefit belongs only to the more I fear not much the being disavowed
by anyone in the circle of sovereigns by whom Europe
is now who now [wield] fill any of the thrones the monarchies of Europe.
There is one at least whom I am sure of: she her who has spoken
out and said Path. 2. Instruct. art. 500. " ... This perhaps will not be much to the
"taste of those flatterers who are incessantly whispering
"into the ears of sovereigns that "the nations
"are our your property and created only for those >your use. For
"our parts we make it a point matterof duty to remember
and glory to avow, that [it [is] we who
are made for [our people people's] Russia's sake, and not they
. . . Prussia for ours'.
