Radicalism

II Nature of the case
§.7. Other spoliation
Of all conceivable
plan of subversion
& the execution
being thus proved
to be impossible,
challenge to antiradicalists
to produce
one which
will not upon the
face of it be seen
to be in the same
case.

(3) scandals
In matter have A a
[+] leaf made §.2 Immoveables
In no such business can any thing be so much as
begin without some previous danger, good or , well
arranged or ill arranged

the accomplishment of abridged
Every conceivable plan by mischief in question
the subversion of the rights of
investment danger of it would disposed of

Accordingly the design first supposed is that of equal
of property among exibly equal and among
all the several members of the community in the character the company

In athe design thus described were necessarily comprehend
the topics following namely 1. Proportion what
2. Sharers who. 3. Subject matter of partition what.
Not a step shall be as able to without finding ourselves
stopped by impossibilities by dissembling improbable.

At such impossibility
"nonsense. I could you
"think I meant this?"
cries the anitradicalist.
What then did you mean?

☞ 25 Dec 1819 Quere where to imply what follows? here or elsewhere?

At every step the description has taken takes, anti radicalist
readers, if any such it should have, will of course have been be turning and
from it with disgust, and exclaiming — crying — We did not mean this
"we did not mean that, all we did not mean may they
"of all this — have can it ever have been your belief how it be supposed that any thing that
"so palpably absurd could have been meant by any body?

Well then if you did not mean this what did you
mean? do you know what it is you mean? have you you
at any time known what it was you meant? You, by whom, in every the most offensive
shape you could find
opprobium had for
so many years been
poured forth - poured
forth, not only upon
such multitudes

by ab supposed
but for the most offensive shape you could find
forth not only upon such numbers multitudes which to you
is nothing but upo not only upon such
much moral worth — which to you is again in as nothing — but
upon so money more of of much pecuniary worth
and even of high rank — which to you is every thing

Say whatthen at length what it is you mean! speak out , or by that sort of evidence
which if even form men
whose declaration is worth
nothing is more conclusive
than it is in the
person of
any declaration
from any man
ever to be — prove, in
a word, by silence on occasion,

by by the same
spoke of , in this dealindealing by us)
you have taken all along been talking without meaning, and acting acted as accused without ground.]
