Having always myself
been guided by them, I hope
for his pardon while attempting
to give a name to a principle
or two by which, if I
judge right he himself, though
without giving names to them, has
not the less been guided.

Of the like deficiency in respect of the one indicative of the
universal and highest standard of reference an indication will on another
occasion come to be made before is conclude

Brought to view in the course of these few pages or the instructive
topics following, p.1 the importance of his subject operation p.2 p. the perfection with
which it has performed in another country other countries Russia and France

3. the atonement made by the cor concession of civil; rights benefits for the denial of poli

and defect and abuse
pervading the whole texture
of this part of the rule
of action the highest
manifested towards them
"by "the dispensers and
"the expenders of the law" the lamentable/deplorable indifference with which the scandalous might of it
has been viewed by the people — all these topics he has in an
in the compass of two of the thr four pages brought to view. One topic remains
of the number of which by a writer in his position was
not needful, and from the pen of a writer in his position might have been obstructive to the end in view
the sinister interest by which in very exercise, in their
position these same dispensers and expenders, could not
find to give to the interest of their pain instead of abolition
creation and preservation and encrease to those same abuses
and as well as defects of which defects the historical of which defects so

Of these defects and abuses the result is thus summed up in
these four words. p.6 a dense medium interposed between us and the

4. Difficulty he had to
contend with — inaptitude
of the established language

A difficulty he had throughout to contend with must
not pass unnoticed: the inappositient inaptitude of the only established
modes forms of expression with reference to the purposes to which discourse
is or at least ought to be universally directed and the confused
of the method in which this inaptitude has had at once its causes
and its effect. To this imperfection he has in some instances
applied the instances to the number of those in which the demand
has place, that of those in which the appropriate supply is afforded by
him but it must be confessed but to small rules. But to have
made any very considerable addition to the number might have done
more harm by swelling the work and scaring readers, than good by the more information they could with which these
same readers could have impressed.

5. Peoples indifference to this.

6. Not brought to view, cause of the void sinister interest of all rulers.
