power, screened from odium protected against odium by a covering of pretended science,
they have in the bosom of every empire established erected an empire of
their own and for their own benefit. In what way the plunder profit
is shared by men of law of all classes and ranks, official
as well as professional, and how compleat the is of sinister intimate the connexion is in
point of sinister interest are questions enquiries that belong not to the present purpose.
