1820 Feb. 5
Radicalism not dangerous

§. 11 Note
III Experience
II Ireland

(1) Hardy's unconscious sophistry

(a) [cold civility . . . puerile and impolite] Yes, if sincere: not impossibly
politic: namely by promoting the persuasion, true or false
that between the Monarchists and the Aristocrats by whom the Convention
had been deluded, and reduced to nothingness, there had
been no concert.

(b) [excesses] Excesses? what excesses? injuries to person or property?
these are the only real excesses, and of them, by the biographers own
account they there had been d none. Excess in the assumption of efficient
power of indirect and gentle influence? no acts of Government
but what was done by the constituted authorities? These are the
very things deeds which indirectly, are the objects of his most extatic namely in virtue of those effects which without them cant not
have been produced

praises, and to which his more direct approbation has been seen given
in more places than one.

(c) [abyss into which it had partly fallen] what abyss? Still
the same assumption of facts counterevidenced by himself of false
facts in the letter of his own certificates.

(d) [effectual service] Effectual service how? By Answer: by
giving birth to that long train of miseries to that mixture of
anarchy and disputes, of which his Lordship by the exhaustion
of democratic ascendency of that state of things by which all
that felicity had been pr without a grain of evil had been
produced, had made himself the prime author.
