Dispensing power

Add to this my Lord that had it been appeared penetrable
– even equally practicable to carry the compass the
object print through Parliament, as without Parliament
it could not appear equally soothing to official indolence
nor equally flattering to official pride. To kick push aside Acts of
Parliament about as so much lumber – to pull
down two laws of the legislature, to set up one of his own making in the room of them down one law to build up another – to turn
squares and into circles and circles into squares – the
efficient Minister not only all this with
his own pen and with no other trouble than the
signature of his own name – the efficient Minister
not only Suffering this but thanking him for it –
this of itself was surely no mean remuneration – this
of itself was no inadequate inducement to a noble Duke – to a
figurante in the theatre of politics, whose habitual occupation and as well as prime
recommendation was had been the doing as he was bid. had consisted in obsequiousness compliance with intimations.

Do without Parliament what we you can – do by
through Parliament what we you can not otherwise – Such
are the maxims which on all occasions are
whispered into the ears of men in executive departments
by the according voices of the da'mons syrens
pride of the spot, by incapacity, timidity, and indolence,
is the song which the navigators in the meridian those latitudes
of the Treasury are so ready to learn from the⊞ ⊞ Syrens which hover in that station
presiding Syrens of the spot station from pride, incapacity, pusillanimity timidity
and indolence.
