1819 July 3 Dec, For Radicalism not &c
To Erskine or Defence of Univ. of Ed. Review
Lett. 7 Whigs AntiReformistUnivariably orderly
not dangerous
reign sway
Of any mischief from virtually universal suffrage, not
In support of the hypothesis which ascribes dangerousness attributes mischievousness
to universal suffrage, not a passage is to be found in
the history of these kingdoms or in that of any other country: the
of its ness the groundlessness of this hypothesis
the negative proof is therefore compleat.
Of the effects of popular democratic ascendency carried to this
extent was have threeour own history examples: 1 that the sway of the army under
the influence of Cromwell in the Civil wars. 2 that the sway of the Irish
Volunteer army in Ireland for during five years beginning
in 1778 and ending in 1783: and 3. that of the American
Union, itself containing a cluster of examples.
In comparison of in the two first least of these histories
government by King and with two Houses of Lords (for the stiled
the House of Common is in fa effect another House of Lords)
in the two first at least of these instances, (and nothing appears
to the contrary in the third) government by the people government
in theby way of virtually universal suffrage - exhibits
an improvement example of transcendencynot more only in
liberty and peace and good order but in morals.
