Memorial.

34.
The business of conducting News-papers may be considered
as a very important branch of national Education.
It cannot be taken out of improper hands: neither
is it to be wished that it would be taken out of
such as a Minister could should think improper. What it
is for the benefit of the state that he should
have it in his power to do, he has:– viz. to put
it into hands that he thinks proper. He may
(take care and) set before them men good and evil, and &
let them judge. That he should have it in his
power to keep every thing from being set before them
that he thinks to him seems evil, it by no means to
be wished. But his adversaries are ready enough
while they have it in their power, to set before men
what to them seem good, though evil it seems to which is what to him
seems evil: What then remains for him to do? to take
care and cause that also to be set before them which though
have to his adversaries it seem evil, to him seems
good. Men by this means have before them at
any rate good and evil – then let them read & judge.

These observations each of them as may seem just and
probably seem trite (enough) & obvious: but a proof that
they have not been enough attended to, is that no
use has yet been made of them in practise.
