1821. May 8. First Lines

If self preference be the universal condition of human
existence is, in the instance of every man invested with
political power, proportioned to the plenitude of it will be the energy
of his endeavours to seekeffect the advancement of his own interest
at the expense and to the sacrifice of every other interest, the more
constantly repeated on the part of the Government in question the
assumption is of the opposite disposition and the more extensively
such assumption is acted upon, the more adverse to the greatest
happenings of the greatest number will of course be the general
frame and tenor of such government.

The more surely adverse to the interest of the subject
many in the country in question the interest of the ruling one
or the ruling few is, the more useful is the labour of him whose endeavor
it is to persuade the subject many of this important truth:
and the more importanthighly it is their interest to be persuaded of this
truth, and, on every favourable occasion, to act accordingly.
