Art. or 19 Art . Under an Aristocracy-ridden Monarchy,
exceptions excepted, the people not being
individually at the mercy of the members of the
aristocracy are continually those whose good fortune it is not to be so, are frequently offering obstruction
to their will of those their superiors. Accordingly, while in the breast of
the Monarch of a pure Monarchy, the contempt of
the people is a quick and almost comparatively innoxious sentiment,
in the breast of a Member of the aristocracy,
it is more or less mixt with and embittered by hared:
accordingly and thus it is, that when the obstruction has come so
as to touch the favourite pleasure, cases have not
been wanting, in which, for the chance of putting
to death those whom by oppression they have made their enemies, they have been content
to expose to the power of the same homicidal
engine, their children and their friends: and, to this
practice, the Judges, it secretly⊞ ⊞ sworn and it is indefatigable accomplices and supporters of aristocratic tyranny – silently and determinately and endlessly licensed manufacturers of the
rule retrospc retroactively operating rule of action – the
Common Law –, have given their support hardly naturally of course given
their support.

Art. Art or 17 – Under a pure Monarchy the beneficial change
of a member of numerous are the official moral causes, by any one of which
the beneficial change is capable of being considered effected: – fear great and self-regarding interest, love
sympathy, rush of excitement, or in one word caprice: under an Aristocracy
in four and no other than fear – extensively experienced fear – can be seen
a cause, capable of ever being as any adequate to the production
of this effect.
