1824. April 28
Constitutional Code

Evil 10. Deprivation of the intellectual department of
the public mind: diminution of the aggregate stock of intellectual
aptitude: namely as above, with reference to the
maximization of the aggregate stock of happiness.

It has been seen how false erroneous the conceptions are which
these symbols have the effect of producing: how widely extensive the wide the error is in extent
error, and at the same time how greatly pernicious the effects produced
by it: how undistinguishable, except are these unacknowledged from acknowledged malefactors of the above mentioned correspondent class, otherwise than by opule
power, opulence, or success and impunity and magnitude of the
scale on which the mischief by the confederacy on which all those conspirators against public happiness, is produced.

Such being on the hand the real effect of the imposture on the one hand
on the other hand such the real conduct and character of
the several parties o the imposture, what correspondent is the
minds of the members of the community at large is that intellectual
intellectual weakness without which the impostrous design conspiracy could not be productive
of the effect pernicious effects, which, as above, are
actually produced by it.

So pernicious has been the effect in this as in every other part
of the field of government – it may even be said of the whole field of
action by those the Holy Alliance of sinister interest, interested-begotten
prejudice, authority-begotten prejudice, operating
upon primæval weakness. In the character of true and conclusive
evidence of title to general regard and respect all those symbols
false as it is the evidence has as all of late years been
always immorally received as not only true but conclusive.

For reproducing in the mind the false persuasion a momentary
glance or sound suffices: for dispelling it nothing less than
the each time repeated recollection of a lay train of laboriously formed
reflections can suffice. It is with this delusion as with that
by which the the idea of ghosts and hobgoblins is produced in
the minds of those whose misfortune it has been in infancy and early youth to have been
within hearing of those tales which are still so common in
ill instructed and uninstructed mouths: the reappearance of dark
suffices at any time for their creation: for their annihilation nothing
less can suffice than the reproduction of the result of an long and attentive
and long continued survey of the of the human mind.
