(3) Hardy against Reform

But countenance his (p.279) speaking of this same
'military reform', and what that is, had former ages been as
silent as they are instructive on the subject, the dread series
of events which have taken place since the days of the
Convention has most fatally promulgated to the world
The direct f series of events — and where? in which country in France
for where men have for their ultimate object the imposing
the cause of the people. France is of course the only country
which they can see. What were before his eyes that he
would could not see: that was on the then present occasion to move him he could not
see it: though on every other occasion he is can not only
see it but speak of it with rapture. And when was it that
this book of his was published? Not longer ago Even so late as than 1810 at
which time the success of the this same sort of a military reform had in
the U American United States been so fully established.
Here there were two cases equally on point: but these not
meeting the purpose there neither of these could he see: the
only case which he could see was a case which was a
about as far from being on point as any case could be
In Ireland as well as in the United States As to the press
in United America, perfect freedom as in Ireland, as in Britain though
under libel law if inferred there is no freedom according
to him, yet a tolerable an efficient degree of freedom in practice, in
Ireland an as well as in the United States the forces
of parliamentary popular election in constant use: other
to the r monarchical power many and considerably
efficient in France forms of popular election from descriptions in speech and writing alike unknown
alike a altogether unknown. In a word in Ireland and
Britain as in British America the public mind in a state
of aboriginal and perfect preparation for such a change as that
in
in question: in France
almost as p unprepared as
public mind could be.
