In proportion as any system of operation is ill understood or
misunderstood, obstacles are apt of course to be confounded with,
and to be taken for, causes. Comparison had with all
other European States the excellence of the English form of
government was out of dispute.

From Blackstone everybody had learnt that wisdom
was the special attribute of the House of Lords. Masquerade
dresses so imposing, who could doubt of it. By the gravity
which pride and the sense of his own dignity imposed
upon each actor, proof of wisdom, and that conclusive,
was afforded to an eye which this almost universally
prevalent delusion found wide open to it.

plainly enough a bitter and altogether implacable
enemy— Not so in the less effective and in comparison
with the House of Commons, the less numerous
body— the House of Lords.
