§. 1. End actually produced by existing systems – not the legitimate, but some
spurious end.

Of the system of procedure, the legitimate end, considered in its
several ramifications, has thus now been brought to view: we come now
to speak of false or spurious ends.

In so far as this legitimate end, has been pursued by those
on whom the task of framing the system has devolved, pursued by
them with sincerity and adequate and power and intelligence, the legitimate
end, in those its several branches has been fulfilled compassed and attained: if
on every other this or that occasion any other end, which is as much as
to say any false end, has been set up pursued in preference, that
the legitimate end should in so far have been contravened, is
no more than a necessary consequence.

In proportion as this enquiry advances, it will appoint

modern England, it will be found that this end has from the
first been contravened, and continues to this day to be contravened,
and that to a degree little not much short of diametrical opposition in
every one of those its distinct and enumerated branches: and in
other words a word that the state of it not only has been but still is that

pointing in a direction situated in a point of view exactly opposite to that of the legitimate end.

That the existence of this state of things the existence should be unavowed,
