In this country, in which tyranny has not yet found
it expedient to throw off all cloaks, a sort of delicacy in this
particular is observed. On the Continent, for the justification
of every thing that is done the word order in puris naturalibus stark naked,
the word and without an adjunct a eulogistic epithet
has generally been regarded as sufficient: though in France
to this subject the despot such has been his condescension
has now and then prefixt the conciliatory adjunct bon.
the order good order being the sort of order of which he would
sometimes be pleased to profess the maintenance. But in
England, on this an occasion of this sort prefixt to the word order has been the word
social: but more especially when the cloak employed
has been of the vituperative cast. Thus when the word
enemy has for the purpose of heaping odium on this or that
man whose endeavour had been to promote reform or improvement
the word social has been attached prefixt to it.
The phrase An enemy to order presents the idea rather of a f
weakness of the understanding: the phrase an enemy to social order
adds to that idea, that of the blackness of the heart.
