Sinecures
Blame justly due to the dilapidating patrons. F Linton Hardwicke &c
The notice here taken well to their punishment.
In a word no moral blame, much less any demand
for penal infliction can attach upon any individual
in respect of any his retaining a benefit of this sort
already in his possession, nor of any from unfraudulent and undisguised exertions
directed to that end.
The case and the only case to which in any degree blame attaches,
is that of those who with the manifest inability
and mischievousness of the sort of institution in question
has employed or endeavoured to employ power
– power destitute of argument in defence of it.
In this men therefore and to those whom ought
have mischief to be ascribed which consists in the species
of vexation above noticed. It is To such to such
and obstinate defence These are the men to on
which whom the eyes of not only the country in respect of the continued
depredation to which it has been endeavoured to be kept
disposed but those of the individual and blameless possessors of this
disastrous species of property may justly fix in respect of the
vexation to whose to which in the shape of reproach as well as
so many other shapes they have so long been subjected.
