A maxim with them
that Codes for the prevention
of offences should be formed
by those who have
the greatest adverse sinister
interest
It is a maxim with a certain class description of reFormists
not to give existence or support to any plan
of reform without the consent and guidance of those
to whose particular and sinister interest it is in
the strongest degree adverse: not to do wrong or diminish
any evil but by the consent and under the guidance
of those by whom for their own advantage it has been
created and preserved

would follow
