1821. April 26.

It has now, it is hoped, been put sufficiently out
of doubt how far any such opinion considered in the character
of a general one is from being in any agreement with the truth: and
that the truth of the case lies not in this opinion but in the
reverse of it: that in so far as any such opinion is entertained
delusion has place in the breast of him by whom it is entertained
in so far as for the propagating of this opinion endeavours
are employed, endeavours for the propagating of delusion are
employed.

What is now, moreover, it is hoped sufficiently put
out of doubt is – that by every additional particle not only of
actual wealth, of actual power and of actually existing factitious
dignity, but of every thing which, in the character of a
token, can contribute to their encrease of the quantity of any
one of those external elements of felicity supposed to be regarded as being in
the hands of an individual possessing any considerable share
of political power, – the force and efficiency of the whole all this stock of the
instruments of delusion will be encreased.

What will at the same time be seen is sufficiently
out of dispute is – that in every such instrument of delusion
may be seen and truly seen an instrument of misrule:
a means of exercising it: and thereby an encouragement
and incitement to execute it.
