Parly Reform Sinecures

Such is the effect produced: distinction of no inconsiderable
portion of the trade of the country and in that form
in which contributing at the same time to national
opulence and national defence it is of all others the
most valuable.

Such are the hands by which this disastrous effect
is produced – official hands, hands of grave and learned
persons, hands of great characters in high situations paid at the expence of the people, under the
notion of their being occupied in the rendering of public
service: and even and any even under the notion of their being occupied
in affording protection to that very support blessing which
their combined exertions are those contributing to
destroy.

All this while, of all those grave and learned persons
there is not one by whom any endeavour is directed
separately and specially directed to the production
of this disastrous effect.

Of all those grave and learned persons there is not
one to by whom, should it ever happen to be though of to it to find a place in his thought
by him at all, it would not be thought of with regret.

There is not one to who if it depended upon
himself would not be ready and willing, aye and
in each and every instance, to give money, money
out of his pocket to prevent it, this is what any man might venture
to undertake for a condition of not being obliged to say
exactly how much to prevent it.
