Contempt is among these emotions an emotion which it is not ever pleasant for
a man to think concern himself the object of, and still less
to declare it. If known not in our point of view
it is an aggravation of suffering, in another it is a sort
of consolation under it, to an obscure individual, to think reflect
that in the contempt so lavishly wantonly <add>inexorably</add> poured upon his head
the laws of his country, and the authority of Parliament,
receive have <add>ever received</add> so large a share.
Time in his very plan would number it among those consolations
Another sort of consolation it may be reckoned, though
still of the sinister and ambiguous kind, that if contempt
is only the emotion outwardly indicated and as far as possible
expressed, hatred is the emotion inwardly and really felt.
If proofs were wanting, it is within a character's depth
There is not a more hated character than a man who being
innocent and oppressed injured is not altogether without the faculties
that enable a man to prove the injury, which they are of
the worst qualities which embolden him apart and proclaim
his innocence:
enough is the distress which so long has months pinned down the process of irresponsible
power to a return which under so many calls
for explanation self-justification <add></add> is a confession of guilt; and in the
application made to Parliament for a patch cover to the
illegality of which at his my indication they stand reconvicted.
What Contempt howsoever asserted,
is not the emotion felt incited by the idea person of an enemy to whom
a man has been indebted for safety.
