Antecedently to the reading perusal of this analysis, the following
it may be of use that the following practices observations be kept in view.
To afford proofs of them will be one use of this analysis.

General sinister effects of General Official Corruption

1. Taken in 1. Taken in the aggregate the sinister effects of a general
predominance of official corruption in the official establishment
of a political state may be comprized by the single-worded
appellation denomination of Misrule. Of Misrule, the sinister effects may be comprised
under the two three general and together all comprehensive
denominations of depredation, oppression, and dissipation:
depredation and oppression its objects as well as effects:
dissipation not an object, but in a greater or less degree,
an additional and necessary effect: depredation and
oppression have their source cause in the moral faculty, dissipation in so far as it
stands separate from depredation and oppression in the intellectual and active faculties of rulers.

2. Be the form of Government what it may,
in every political state official corruption, will in a greater or
less degree have place.

3. By appropriate remedies, the sinister effects of it as
expressed by the above three general appellations appellatives may be reduced to
so low an an almost imperceptible amount, that the impossibility of reducing it those any
lower, need not be matter of very considerable regret. It And by those
same remedies it may be secured against encrease.

4. In an absolute one form mixt form of government, in which by
their representatives have no share, the disease is at its maximum:
the symptoms being at different times more or less afflictive
according to the casual external situation and internal temper of the rulers.

5. In a mixt form of government in which by their
representatives the people have more or less of them, by their representatives a share more or less considerable, the corruption disease is
not already at its maximum: but with sure steps it is tending advancing
to that point every day, and its arrival at it sooner or later is matter of
certainty.
