The public that does the mischief is an irregular
and inconsiderable detachment from the
grand army great body of the public: inconsiderable when
compared to the whole, but considerable enough
to do an infinity of mischief: — for who is not
considerable enough to do mischief? This petty public
neither thinks of or nor for the grand one: to the voices
of those who composed it are confined to the gratification
of their own individual dissocial or selfish
passions: to the satisfaction of their individual
malignity or the exaltation of their own petty
self-importance. These are they who without
scruple and indeed commonly it is to be hoped without reflection sacrifice
the happiness of a neighbours life to the gratif amusement
of an idle hour: whose reward for a
deadly stab given to a neighbour's reputation is
the variety privilege destruction of knowing what was not known
to every body one and the privilege opportunity of being heard occupying
with attention during the period portion of time which the narrative
and the comment ar can be enabled to consume:
whose imagination set to work by vanity
or malice creates resident magnifies circumstances and metamorphoses
peccadillos or even virtues into crimes: whose judgments
suggested by caprice and prejudice hold no correspondence
