1 p. Reform reprobated
by Sheffield
(p ) Lord Sheffield p.354. (Last date Ao 1789 Popular discontents … were fermented
by men who knew they had no chance of for notice but in
times of anarchy and disorder, and who, in hope
of plundering the wreck, enjoy the storm . . . For want of other
food for discontent and innovation, they stumbled, as it happened
on parliamentary reform." Thus for the Noble Lord:
that is in their desire to render permanent to the salutary
the effects — those tremendously salutary effects and to that time and more unexampled which have
been seen, they were desirous of giving permanency to the
cause: to the cause, but for which it has been seen — and
as it should seem even to the satisfaction conviction of the Noble Lord
himself, those effects could have been produced.
(p.2) Lord Sheffield p.354. Last date Ao 1785. After some
rambling and sarcastic natter against reform comes of course the
assumption about the "subversion of the rights of property". "The
"change of property (says his Lordship) in that country "
(says his Lordship) its divided interests, the properly and
established government being comparatively in the hands
of the few, surely are objections to throwing the power into
the hands of the multitude." that multitude by which
for four years together they having the that same property at their disposal,
it had been so universally respected: respected
so much more perfectly than ever before or since.
