Observations or Instructions

☞ Not Not to be employed for the Netherlands

Art. 28. This demand, for thus continually apt to arise
for the operations exercise of the legislative function, would
of itself suffice, to demonstrate the inadequacy of every
system of law under which any intermission of the exercise of that
exercise paramount and all-embracing duty is allowed. It will of itself be a proof that
no under all representative Constitutions as yet established, the
the by individual his care for
universal has universal interest has in the eyes of the legislature been eclipsed by individual the particular interest
of the legislators.⊞ ⊞ Everywhere, for their
own personal accommodation,
regardless
of the interest of their
constituents have those
bad and unfaithful servants
given themselves long
periods of inaction,
inaction as Schoolmasters and with much as Schoolmasters,
give holiday but with long much
to their Scholars, less lack of reason give
really long holidays, really to and for themselves
nominally to and for their
Scholars. Monarchy with all its greater
Monarchy, even the most absolute – Monarchy with all its still greater evils has
the advantage of being free exempt from this. Under that form
of government, at no time is the power wanting – at no
time anything more than the will – to provide for any
accident whatsoever: to apply to every oversight the
best remedy which the nature of the case admitts of.

Art. 29. What would be thought of the founder of an
Hospital, who, during half or a quarter of the whole
number of months in a year, should provide for its
being shut up and the patients turned into the streets, or left
to perish in want of relief?

But in the case of the Hospital
the evils, the cause, and the
authors would all be more or
less extensively visible,
whereas in the case of the
Legislature, how extensively
visible so ever the evils be
be the cause lying burned
in the wisdom of check
ups, the evils are not
traced up to it: and the
authors of the continuance
of the evil not being
the authors of the its
commencement of it,
are screened by their predecessors
from the reproach so justly due. to them.

Art. 30. Only For so flagrantly mischievous and absurd an institution as that of a regularly sleeping legislature, only from the Book of Fallacies could anything
in the shape of a justification, or even so much as a palliation
be produced.

Art. 31. If with any degree of reason those observations as applicable to the business of
legislation with still more manifest reason are they to those
of judicature. (See Ch. XIII Immediate Judges. §. Attendance and Pay) But flint is the matter, of which as yet the hearts and hands any hands
of all ruling functionaries have been composed.
