Defence or Preface for Fragment
whoever suppose that the same lawyer who has been heard barking at arbitrary power would not, in a different term of the
ends been heard speaking in defence of it, is a simpleton .
Dispositions of Camden & known by character of the reports
of their friends. Mistake of those who ascribed the Fragment to them.
That accordingly of Not only the monster Reform, but in account of
the suspicion entertained of his being relation of the monsters
the relationship is suspected of bearing to the monster,
if not, the monster in himself in disguise; were
the civil gentleman. Improvement with all notwithstanding his smirks and smiles the name is sufficient
I have been assured to fill the House at any time with wry faces:
unless it should happen to have been previously explained
that the improvement a proposed is of no worse
sort than that which has for its subject matter gentlemen's
own estates or the roads or canals that lead to
them: provided always that, in the case of the canal,
the beauty of the prospect be not touched.
That accordingly, after there the one exception or his
of this sort not to speak of reform every attempt at introducing every the slightest motion toward improvement
is not only resisted as an innovation absurdity, but felt as an
injury: and that the more extensive extensively and beneficial
the improvement promises or thereabout to
be, the more to the country the more formidable
and odious it is to those who hold the fate by whom the fate
of the country in their hands.
