1821. April 25.

In so far as, with reference to that better and happily
larger portion of the whole community, they are regarded as being,
in this Seale of public virtue and good behaviour, superior of equal,
delusion has place.Raising screwing up to its maximum the degree
and effect of this delusion is a third purpose in which, under
this form of government, public waste employs itself.

In an absolute Monarchy

In proportion to the quantity in which the waste employs
itself in the affording of gratification to the appetites of the individuals in
question, and by the whole of that quantity the purpose of delusion is
in a complete degree completely accomplished, and the purpose of corruption in a principal
degree: To screw up the effect of corruptive influence to its
maximum may probably require endeavors to an amount more
or less considerable specially directed to that particular purpose. And Such
endeavours and being accordingly no where and never wanting, means
are wanting for forming pronouncing by any sufficiently grounded judgement whether,
without such endeavours the mere possession of that same or any other
quantity of the subject matter of waste operating of itself in the character
of matter of corruptive influences would, in the hands in
question, be adequate to the production of the actual effect. Be this
as it may, it will be, if it is not already, sufficiently manifest
that, by the same quantity of the matter of wealth thus expended
in waste by the hands in question, in addition to the gratification
of the several appetites, those two other purposed, corruption and delusion
all three, though so inseparably connected, so perfectly distinguishable
from each other; are produced.
