Prodigality
Improvidence

XV. America
public Spirit

Observations on No 1 Page 8
Observations Shamefull! as if simple injunction could
be matter of shame, when depredation, and with
mark universal
Intermixt with the prodigality
and improvidence, (Your Lordship sees) comes drunkenness: but drunkenness
comes in every where and with every thing. We Shall
however have a head appropriate to it. All this reprobacy
too (is it credible?) write of all these public orders all this good advice from the
Governor: pearls, of which there has never been any want among
these swine. Of the of these pearls something will
come to be said under the head of drunkenness.

The Pennsylvania
reform forced upon
the legislation

Of the reform experiment of this crowned with success we are
told by the Duke de Liancourt that it was in a manner
forced upon the legislators: forced, and by whom?
by the gentlest of mankind humankind the fraternity of Quakers.
How different the state of powers here! The Legislature
From the administration to the Legislature no force nothing
that presents the idea nothing stronger than a nod of force is ever necessary [+]
from say the legislation to administration no force
that can be applied is of any effect. In
Penn Pennsylvania it seems there are private citizens
to whom a philanthropic the spirit of philanthropy
can give a force capable of surmounting the
vis of government. When shall any such
force — when shall any such spirit be found in
England? Above nothing but riddance
below nothing but and indifference [+]

[+] from subjects to the
legislation from
subjects may from
the legislation itself

[+] Laws Laws obtained from
the legislature. to
obtained by administration
itself only to
be trampled upon laws obtained by
administration
if it were in derision
to display in the
eyes of the a continued public
the subversion of the
constitution the
importance of superior
power the supremacy
of the supremacy
of the subordinate.
