How it will What on this occasion will would Lord Mansfield do
or say was the question which the Lord Keanes used to
propound to himself as a set for before him for a light to lighten his paths under in
all difficulties the wilderness of law, as the same learned Lord in his dedication
to the still more highly learned as well as elevated Lord had
the wisdom to confess acknowledge to him.
My Lord I no such question to myself – There
are a set of men in of whose eye the discovery of whose opinions
follows as surely promptly and as surely upon the discovery of right and wrong as
surely as that of the East follows North South follows that
of the North when indicated by the mysterious needle.
There is that person of transcendent learning master of the art of Jubilation, when on a
former occasion it was unnecessary as it would have been invidious
to name.
There is his fellow-traveller fellow-crawler in the corner of delay the
Jack of that Jonathan, or the Jonathan of that Saul,
par nobile fratrum – whose lives were who in their lives having been as lovely as denial
of justice is lovely, and whose who in their deaths who even in their deaths were not
undivided divided – Though one of them, Vampire like, for a short
removal of suction has alone risen Vampire like hath, as yet alone, of late risen from the grave.
There is the intrepid author of the that most brilliant of all
modern discoveries that as was once prettily said of Shame so
the Honesty and dishonesty follows the finger the worthlessness of Moral Conscious
Honesty, and its unfitness to be taken by the legislatorto score as a lantern to the foot of the legislator for a direction guide
to his laws: a the champion who with so generous winning the an audacity disloyalty
throws down his gauntlet before the hereditary titled turncocks of the fountains of power
and defies them to shew point out to him that sink of pl profligacy so foul or
so profound deep, that he shall know what it is to hesitate for a moment to plunge to the bottom of it or them.
