Among the those who admirers of greyhounds of the Italian race, distinguished
from the other greyhounds by their smallness, it has been a practice,
for the purpose of enhancing that quality which in that instance is the
of ideal value, to dose the animal with a course of narcotics, which
by weakening the its vital power, and impairing the health of the animal, stunts its growth.

If by any prudent institution of growth cultivator of the faculties
of the human form mind, any similar effect were wished to be produced
on the mind of a pupil committed to his charge, let him a more effectual efficacious drug could not
be found for him in the whole literary pharmacopeia, than a dose
of Roman the technical jurisprudential system, according to the Roman
or English, but more especially according to the English formula: a
made up by the hand of a Coke, a Gilbert or a Blackstone,
always understood that it be accompanied with that recommendation instruction precept
which, unless something precise distinct appear to the contrary be applied to brush it off adherence to it
of course – a recommendation to find it – not like the bush on which
St John fed doubtless in a vision, sweet in the mouth, bitter in
the belly, but from the top of the alimentary canal to the bottom,
wholesome, delicious and corroborative instructive.

He may there rend himself at once out of all desire and
capacity and all desire of distinguishing right from wrong, except
for any other purpose than that of the superior respect due to
the that one of them which is below as being the better customer. He may then have
to swallow and , as essence his as men do , without chewing – to clasp embrace mendacity to in
his bosom friend: to regard truth and utility with abhorrence to abhor and truth as the most dangerous of all enemies, and join with pious
fervour in the prayer for his their extirpation from the world human bosom.

to look for probity in barbarism, for ty liberty in tyranny, for
wisdom in inexperience

to look to the grossest absurdity for the most persuasive
reason

.. to.. the Goddess of lying, marked out for homage under the name
of Faction: ... let him ask himself whether Immorality in alliance with supported by
Folly, ever received a more prostrate or sincerer homage.
