Parallel between the lot of a Member of Parliament & that of the an
Emperor of Morocco.

20 or 1
Parallel between the
lot of the Member
and that of an Emperor
of Morocco
1. The Emperors power
is clear of obligation —
so is the Members

1. Power without of obligation is the portion of the Emperor of Morocco
[not to operate if the Emperor of France]. A man equally without obligation is the
portion of the Emperor of France Member of the House of Commons: — not
to speak of the House of Lords.

21 or 2
2. Emperor's power
is an integer: Member's
but a fraction of it
How the Difference 1.

2. The power of the Emperor is a whole: an integer and integral quantity: — the power of the Member
is but a part of a sinister whole — in this lies all the difference.

22 or 3
No ignorance prevents
a man from becoming
or continuing Emperor of Morocco
— Members

3. An Emperor of Morocco may be as ignorant as he
pleases: a [borough-holding] Member of Parliament may
also be as ignorant as he pleases. No degree of ignorance
renders it less difficult easy than more difficult to a man than it
would be otherwise to become an Emperor of Morocco.
Adequate borough: property being in possession, No degree of ignorance renders it less easy to a man than it would
be otherwise to become a Member of the House of
Commons.

23 or 4
4. Emperors title is
derived from birth
— so, many a Member's

Birth gives a man his title to the undivided despotism
enjoyed by an Emperor of Morocco: birth gives
a man his title to the fraction of despotic power
enjoyed by a borough-holding Member of the House of
Commons.

24 or 5
5. To enjoy his despotism,
no fraud, insincerity,
hypocrisy,
jargon — is
necessary to the Emperor:
much of all
to the Member:
Difference 2.

5 No fraud, no insincerity, no hypocrisy, no jargon
is necessary to enable a man to enjoy and defend the despotism
enjoyed by an Emperor of Morocco. Perpetual fraud,
perpetual insincerity, perpetual hypocrisy, a perpetual
flow of jargon is necessary to enable a man to [enjoy and]
defend the fractional filthy scrap of despotism enjoyed by a Member of
the House of Commons

25 or 6
6. By ascending and
maintaining his throne
no principle is
violated by an Emperor:
— must by the member
viz. if a Borough-holding
Difference 3.

6. By ascending his mounting and maintaining himself on
his throne, no acknowledged principle is violated by
an Emperor or Morocco. By maintaining himself in
his seat the most solemnly acknowledged as well as
vital principle most vital of public principles is perpetually violated by a borough-holding
Member of the House of Commons.
