1824. Novr. 11
Constitutional Code.Ch. IX Ministers collectively
§. 11. Remuneration
Factitious dignity

Rationale.

Thus it is that according to the complex conception in question Thus the the habit of morality is the habit of living
leading the sort of life whatever it be which is had by those possessors
of factitious dignity and their associates in this species
of : the habit of immorality the habit of living as
those live of whom the vast majority the vastly greater
portion of the community is composed.

Thus it is that by the conception produced and
by this same instrument of delusion the picture given of human
nature and the state of society is the exact very reverse of the truth.

Engaged as they universally in a every Monarchy are in the practice of production
of human misery upon the largest scale in comparison
of those who to superficial are the object of extensive
abhorrence as being armed with and objects of well-grounded
disgust those by whom they were governed
the most atrocious of those who are commonly spoken of
under the name by the description of the most atrocious criminals are on
the scale of virtue and moral worth in a high a degree superior as much above the
to the least mischievous of those by whom they are governed as
those are to the most mischievous, of their class or the most
mischievous of the low order class to the most virtuous of their
own class order. The man who kills men by puts to death without prosecution or kills in
and more is abhorred and himself put to death by hundreds of thousands in a
year is admired and lauded. The who has abhorred him and
destroys are paid upon false pretence by the false pretence is
save your while the Judge who obtains £23,000
a year by the daily a and uninterrupted series of
false pretences the Judge whose plunderage is
by the utterance of wilful falshood in an endless
variety of forms is an object of if not of of general respect
and admiration. is one consigned to dark for without being
committed by one
possessor of factitious dignity
and to death by
another in comparison of
whom his life has been
a life of virtue.
