Radicalism not dangerous

1o
Beginning
6 Grattans Speech

14
To passions alone
through imagination
is Grattans Speech
Addressed

That which strikes a man at the first view of this
that which strikes the reader is — that the design
of it was to work upon the passions — that it is full
of exaggeration — and that it has much the air of a
declaratory exercise — and a little further on it will be for the reader
to judge whether it was in the nature of the case that
the Orator himself should have himself believed a syllable
of that which with so much energy he was labouring
to impress upon the minds of his hearers and eventually
of the readers.

For the present purpose what will be absolutely unfair
is to translate render these picture esque stiles into humble and ordinary prose
and for this purpose I can not but regard the plain and
intelligible observation of Mr Deputy Jacks as greatly
preferable.

15
J.B. would have
taken it for a text
to comment on. But
so unmethodical is
it, no justice would
then have been done
to the subject

16
J.B. will look out
for every the argument
source of proof for
proving dangerousness,
and after sharing
that as proof can be
drawn from any
source, reprint
Grattan's speech with
short notes
