In the more recent case both the power assumed assumption of power, and
the case intended to be made of it the purpose for which
it was assumed were in no small degree odious
. Unfortunately odious
odious, and contempt both in the extreme and not only odious but contemptible
in the extreme were the class of persons against for whom
the oppression was designed.

But a circumstance the most favourable of all was
that (as already observed the sum of oppression was at a distance. The
plan was in their own : and on after accounts
evidently, and on this account not improbably
as well as on other accounts , they class it
