Superseded?
The abuses imperfections of the law have for ages been a standing
throne to the of satyrists in their several modifications
of poets, essayists and dramatists: but their either
by their prejudice or by discretion they have in general
been withheld from looking so high in this country more especially, as to trace the corruption
to its source. Your Lordship's discernment at the very outset will secure
your a clear perception of the wide distinction between this play those sports of
the imagination on the ground of superficial observation,
and the result of a close and minute investigation,
supported from first to last by specific facts and uncontrovertible
experience: and Your Lordship if I do not
over flatter myself, Your Lordship will behold see, and if
so, surely not altogether without surprize, that the bolts shafts of
these amusing sportsmen instead of factor flying begins the mark
as usual, have in this instance fallen short of it.
