1822 June 30
Constitut. Code

If when the Monarch is a madman, the people are not
worse afflicted than they are seen to be it is because in the name
of the madman it is not by the madman himself that the determinations
are taken by which the operations of government
are directed but by the a host of courtiers whom accident
has thrown in his way in such sort as to have
become chosen by him to be made the instruments of the
will in the several departments; or rather and when is more
simple some one of them who has the had the good fortune
to persuade him to produce in his mind the notion
that by the choice of that one instrument his dreams are
likely to receive a more extensive gratification than by
the choice of any other individual: among those several desires,
the desire of case acting at by always with predominant
influence: acting as President as it were as President of the
Council of Desires, which person individual as their Prime Minister
exercising the powers of the Monarch and easing him of all the
whole of the cares of government. Certain parts subject matter there
are about on which the particular Monarch and the operative
Sub-Monarch are to be at all times and in all places always agreed of course: the accumulating
in the hands of the Monarchy the aggregate mass of the external instruments
of felicity in as large a mass as possible: at whose
ever expence on each occasion the accession is to be made:
whether at the expence of his own subjects or the members of a
foreign state, or of both together, as in case of a war must of some be
be the case as far as so far as ever is the occasion can
not but be the case. In this Master and Servant in this they behold the common end;
and to the Servant it belongs to provide the means to perform form
provide
the labour necessary in the shape and in the quantity necessary and
sufficient for the purpose.
