1823. April May 1

68. or 1.
Consideranda as to delusion.
1. Persons operated upon.
2. Instruments operated with.

69. or 2.
1. Persons operated on
by corruption, representatives:
by delusion,
people. Not that corruption
did not extend to
the people: nor delusion
to representatives: hand
in hand go corruption
and delusion throughout,
supporting each
other. But of corruption
chief use, engaging representatives
to betray trust
and sell themselves
and people to Corrupter
Genera: of delusion, to
engage people to submitt
to be sold, oppressed,
plundered.

70. or 3.
II. Instruments operated
with.
1. Setting up false lights,
process positively delusive.
2. Excluding true ones –
process, light-excluding.

71. or 4.
With the light excluding
process is necessarily
combined the use of
force and intimidation;
lips and pens stopped;
presses stopped or destroyed
by force.

72. or 5.
Instruments employed
in deceptious illumination
are.
1. those by which corruption
is produced.
2. those peculiarly employed
by delusion.

73. or 6.
1. To the effect of delusion
operate all instruments
employed or serving
for corruption:
by attention their effect
may indefinitely be encreased.

74. or 7.
Principally by association
with the condition
of the pampered ruler
do they operate: of the pampered
ruler: for example,
trappings of Monarchy:
fruits or indications of
his matchless opulence
and power: gorgeous
palaces: shining support
for his sitting part,
covering for his head:
multitude and variety
inexhaustible: their effect
is, to mask the individual
to whose will,
by the instruments of the
sinister sacrifice, all
other wills and all interests
are sacrified:
for whom all other instruments
of delusion
are employed.

75. or 8.
These others are the instruments
of discourse
considered as applied to
this special purpose:
employed to gain credence
for the above false
positions: namely, 1. that
by which his happiness
is stated as the only proper
end to exclusion or
in preference of all
others – 2. that by which
others happiness is stated
as the end pursued
by him to exclusion of,
or in preference to, his
own, aptitude for attainment
following of course:
3. that in comparison
of that of this excellent
person, the virtue, or say
aptitude for the receipt
of felicity in all others
is equal 0, or negative –
i.e. vice, so that his
alone is a fit object of
regard.

76 or 9.
Ulterior distinction as to
the employment given for
this purpose to falshood:
1. Case where it is given
as truth, as above.
2. Where as falshood. Yet
argued from and acted on
as if truth. This last is the
case of fiction: legal fiction.

77 or 10.
In the production of
the effect thus produced,
the maximum of depredation
must have place on
both parts: of moral, on
those by whom the instrument
of oppression and depredation
is employed:
of intellectual, in those by it is viewed and suf

78. or 11.
Tolerating it, a Government
licenses the commission
of crime in every
shape by judges, on condition
of accompanying
it by a palpable and self-acknowledged
lie. By this,
the powers of depravity
are exhausted. But to
every depravity are men
reconciled by custom:
in this instance so perfectly,
that while practising
it, they are indefatigable
in sounding their
own and one another's praise.
