Indirect Legislation

§ Diverting

In practice, this line of policy has not been
wholly overlooked. It seems In general however
the attention which has been paid to it seems
to have been paid to it rather more in a political
view than a moral: the object has been rather
to render the people submissive to the government,
[than prudent as to themselves, orpeaceable & orderly in their behaviour
to one another] than to enforce the [observance
of the] duties of of private prudence, probity &
benevolence.v. Princ. of Legisl.
Introd. Ch. [Limits]

In the latter ages of the Rom

Among the Romans, in Juvenal's time the great business of life
was commonly seen understood to be comprized
in two words, panem & Circuses. Lutgers These Circuses were shews spectacles of different kinds which
the magistrates & leading men found it worth their while
to treat exhibit to the people not only for the sake in the view of
conciliating their affection to the Donors, but
also in the view of giving adversion to their
thoughts, and preventing them from quarrelling taking poques
with the government administration and keeping them
in good humour with
administration
. The current of the irascible
affections may direct itself either against
individuals or against government.

Oliver Cromwel having cut himself off from
whom the fanatic asceticism of his principles
excluded from this resource, had nothing left for it
but to engage the people in foreign wars.
