Good heavens what a calumny! Suppose though it
were but for the purpose of argument that a man gentleman
a member of so honourable a profession — a gentleman so high a consular and above all
that is high in the scale of opulence should have
in his mind any one spring of action in course common
with such low and needy miscreants? Dare Serve these to
put reduce all character upon a level? What is this but a part
of that scheme which you and such as you those who think and act never cease
to pursue for applying your levelling instruments machinery to all
fortunes?
Mean time what man human being even in the highest of all
ranks ever existed who, so it was but in the regular way
of warfare — in the way of murder rapine destruction waste depredation, rapine
and murder so it were but committed upon the largest scale

pounds of money by millions, so that in his view with or without and an
uninhabited island or a desert village, honour and glory was
to be got by it?
