Constitutional CodeCh. IX Ministers collectively
§. 11 Remuneration
Factitious dignity
Rationale
Another cause here is the imperfection of language Another cause is – the confusion made of the idea
of physical with that of moral purity and impurity. No
otherwise than by means of physical can psychological ideas
be expressed.
Unavoidable as it be Eminently unfortunate alike delusive, and maleficent is this mode of expression
in the present case. Various are the usages in which the delusion
springs out of this same source becomes productive of the
most mischievous effect. One only alone belongs to the present purpose.
To the and against the situation of the lower orders it
applies more directly and forcibly than for and in favour of
the higher. Those by whom the greatest influence is exercised on
the judgments of the Public Opinion Tribunal are mostly in connection
with the higher and to them the condition of the lower order look down with contempt on
the condition of the lower order of the vast majority. In
the physical sense the state of the lower orders the vast majority of
people is a state of habitual impurity those by whose
labour the luxuries of their are produced here are in
a state of habitual impurity: their bodies are habitually
covered with a mixture of and dust. their cloathes impregnated
with it. Here then is impurity impurity in abundance
impurity habitual impurity unquestionable.
Such then is the condition of the oppressed. Such
to that of their oppressors: in the removal of all such
more money than money to a greater amount perhaps than would serve suffice for the subsistence
of a multitude of persons the impure class be constantly employed
all this money together with no small quantity of time and labour on
every day habitually and constantly employed. With
Here then is purity, the perfection of purity! With their lot purity this purity compare
that of the subjects of their oppression. Kept as they are
by it in a state of wretchedness with which can
could day that they their being use so so many dirty ?
