1821 May 18

The first case - that in which the Monarch is his own legislative draughtsman - draughtsman to such an extent and supporting every arrangement by reasons, deduced throughout from the consideration of what promises to be in the highest degree conducive to the greatest happiness of the greatest number - is on this occasion brought to view that it might be made manifest that no variation of which the case is susceptible has been overlooked. In this there is nothing inconceivable. A man with a hundred eyes or a hundred arms is no less conceivable than a man with no more than a pair of each. In a situation such as this, moral aptitude would not be much in danger of being mismatched by appropriate intellectual aptitude and appropriate active talent. Witness in the works of Frederic the Raisons pour etablir ou abroger les loix, the very quintessence of inanity: Frederic the Great, King of Prussia: him whom for the two last of these elements of appropriate aptitude no crowned head ever did or ever will equal: as to the first of them, it is not in the nature of the case that thee should ever be much to choose To the fourth case the same observations may be seen to be applicable: applicable, with little other differences, than those which may be seen in speaking of the fifth Case.
