First Lines

It is his interest that taken collectively his subjects be as
opulent as possible: and thus far the interest of the Monarch
and the interest of his subjects coincide – thus far he may say
with truth: your interests are mine in a manner degree much stronger and more near immediate. But it is his interest
that he himself be as opulent as possible: and to make
any the smallest addition to his own happiness there is
no portion how vast so ever of their happiness that he
is not content to sacrifice: by to that interest which is peculiar
to himself the share which he has in the universal interest is
continually opposed and as continually overpowered. Of In this
preponderance may be seen the cause of most of the wars that
have been with which the species has been afflicted.

It is his interest that his subjects be in the good care just as it is in the interest of the Grazier
that his oxen be in good care: the one interest no more
protects the two legged than the other does the four legged animals
from being slaughtered.

Nine times in the course of his 60 years reign did George
the third with his rea ever ready accomplices from the people
to pay his debts.† † Thus asserted in the course of a H. of Commons debate in the Spring say May or June of 1821: probably
on the subject of the budget or grant to Royal family The trader who by inevitable misfortune
is here misfortune rendered insolvent without the smallest cause of reproach even on the score of imprudence, is thereby rendered in a greater or less
degree an object of disrespect: The M still more, and in an
increasing ratio of the like misfortune has place comes upon him a second time.
The insolvencies of George the third were in every instance of his
the result of his own personal preferences without the smallest admittance
of misfortune. No money could be offered without his signature: and he
was notoriously vigilant attentive as well as punctual in the
giving of it. He made profit by his wars immense profit to himself
and family: witness the Lords of Admiralty: and he took care to exempt
himself from loss: witness the exemption given to his private property or
government annuities – in the funds as the phrase is.
