deputing any person from such an office, a situation and that a single person on so
auspicious and invidious and inauspicious an errand:
to make for such a purpose a progress oerambulative perambulation round the environs of the metropolis:
and to make a perambulation statistical survey of a peculiar kind with a table of Villas
and their inhabitants in his hand and with an estimate a calculation, as it will be said, of their political
leanings and degrees of influence in his bosom: to
draw around each favoured abode a circle of so many miles radius⊞ ⊞ (for one of a mile or two is exclaimed against two has not been deemed as too narrow some such matter is protested against as too narrow) around each
favoured abode, within which no such ignoble foot as that
of a reformer of criminals those by whom the peace of society is disturbed should presume to penetrate:
to avoid the of that estate of a leading
and well-affected Member of Parliament with much
more care than one whose a waste should be not a drop of water was not to be
found, and that of a Member of the Cabinet with
much more sollicitude than a marsh, the certain
seat of pestilence: in a word, to look over the four
counties for a some desert (since deserts within the four
counties still exist) where nobody would ever be
offended by the nuisance, since nobody would ever
see it. No, Yes, my Lords: it was precisely for the
sake of shutting the door against this all such scenes⊞ ⊞ of an irresistible temptation and unfathomable intrigue,
scene of unregulated choice, of private or political favour, and undue
preference, that the first original Act wisely made choice had its finger called in called to its aid
of a body the very collection of persons the least exposed to temptation
and to suspicion that the country affords, and
these are the persons whose judgment opinions your Lordships
have been sollicited expected to set aside.
