Under the system of liberty But Whatsoever may be
the value of the information desirable from this source,
under the system of liberty and sincerity the facility of
obtaining it will would not in any respect be less, than at a
present it is under the system of forced perjury.
If, instead of wish obtaining receiving information, a
man's desire be to communicate information, still under the
system of liberty the facility for making such communication
would not be less than under that of torture.
In that rank of life, more especially the faculty of speaking in an
assembly of strangers is not so common, generally possessed as that
when as long as one is willing to speak, the eleven others should
join in a refusal to hear.
Remains as used for the effect delay which at the same time that the system
of liberty and security can not produce it and but which
the system of course forced perjury and torture has a natural tendency
to produce and which is are occupied by mute virtue speechless
and . Under the system of blind
tyranny this is an effect which can not but, more or
less frequently, take place under the system of enlightened
liberty, it is a delay that never can take place. If
from by any thing a man can promise himself a chance of
making , it must be by from something that he says:
from sitting mute and sulky no such effect could
ever surely be expected.
