Radicalism not dangerous
III. Experience
II. Ireland
(15) (3) Charlemont treachery
To judge from the picture portrait drawn by the b of his hero by the
biographer they ever seem both of them highly respectable and amicable
men in private life. But that they possessed either of them so
much as a grain of public virtue it seems not very easy to conclude
or so much as to admitt: meaning always by public virtue
meaning always as to the intellectual branch of it the perception
that the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the only justifiable
end of government, and by as to the nearest branch, the effective
disposition to make upon occasion more or less of self-sacrifice — sacrifice of
personal and other private interest — to that end. Whatever
tended to augment their power was good — whatever tended to
lessen it was evil — in their eyes.
A. well then as well
all their brother fellow Whigs
the only class of
who so much
as make any pretence
to public virtue
