Radicalism not dangerous

§.3. 4. Subject matter of the difficulties to be
surmounted managed a quantity undertaken
So much as to the points which in the in question must have been
agreed ones. That amongst any such number of men as
would be competent to make any advance whatever towards the
accomplishment of such a design any it were should be in nature of
things that any such agreement should have been or should ever be
so much as formed with it is bit almost any person by whom any attention considerable reflection
has been applied bestowed upon to them
will it is believed be
already disposed at least
to regard as impossible.
But this is but the first
in stage that string fabric
of impossibilities the stages of which
be occasion
to bring to view
shall
will be successively
brought to view
In addition to the agreement, one other condition
to the formation of such a design remains to be
mentioned. This is, that by every person embarking
in it some prospect of advantage, some prospect
how fallacious and delusive so ever must
have been entertained — puringly entertained.
For within some prospect of advantage a himself in
some shape or other either to himself immediately, or to
some portion of his fellow men, and thus to himself immediately
no more engages in any design whatsoever
much less so large in is design so full not only
of labour and hardship but design in any shape:
much less so large vast a multitude as that which upon
the supposition have been thus concerned.
But that instead of advantages to
all embarked on such a design, or at the least to a
number sufficient to make advances towards the accomplishment
of it, ruin to all without the distinction
would be the certain and speedy effect almost any
one of the ensuing list of impossibilities and result
will nine or thereabouts in number will of itself it is believed be
found to have demonstrated accomplishment of the design
an impossible result: distinction to those embarked
in it, a certain one.
