There is One class of Ministers rulers there is whose profit by
war so far as money alone is concerned consists only in
patronage. To this class belong for exam
ple 1. the Monarch. 2. The Commander in
Chief. 3. The first Lord of the Admiralty. 4. The Secretary
at war

Another class there is whomto whom profit by war over and above any that may come in the shape
of patronage is yielded by
war through the medium of the distresses of individuals. To this
class belong 1. The Lord Chancellor. 2. The Judge of
the Admiralty least. the Chan Lord Chancellor through the medium by the Bankruptcies
of which it is productive of; the Judge of the Admiralty
Court by through the medium of the captains and the
consequent litigations of which it is productive: add to which till

got to the amount of £38,000 a year for himself and
dependents together

either their names or their characters. What I know is that
they are men: and that is quite enough for me.

process be got rid of. But so far as in the line judicial
offices it results out of the sufferings of individuals no process in the determinate
in between peace and
war, that fixation
has actually been made
to take place. When
so the person or people
the source of the sinister
profit was mainly if not altogether, at an end
can be more simple and certainly effectual. It can
