After viewing this the picture of a this golden age, the reader
it has been observed will naturally expect to hear how it
came to give way to the succeeding iron one.

In general terms the information has been already given.
The aristocracy after they had in conjunction with the democracy
provided for those interests which were common to both,
made a stand. By A little further the interests of the few many
found themselves under or in conjunction with the Ministers
in full possession of might have acquired that predominance ascendency
which could not have been established but at the expense
of that of the few. At this point therefore the aristocrats immediately
left the democrats, and soon after, and for ever
after turned against them: and thence forward whatsoever
had before been loyalty, was treason in their eyes.

To justify this the apparent inconsistency dereliction, something in the
shape of a reason was to be devised; provided and for this, nobody
on the aristocratical side of the question is ever at a loss.

By the acknowledgment of every body whatsoever testimony
had been afforded by experience in relation to democratic ascendency
by experience had been without exception manifestly and prodigiously and in a prodigious
transcendental degree in its favour. No neither: the thing to be
proved was that the thing though the thing had gone on so
well during its whole length — and that length for not less than five or
six years, it would not continue to do so any further.
Accordingly as if at the word of command all eyes in
that quarter were shut against the testimony of experience; experience was became
to be as nothing: imagination assumptions to the opposite effect, assumptions and that altogether ungrounded
— assumptions, the product of mere imagination
took its place.
