-stood : accordingly when any body presents a petition
to the King, a thing which every body is at liberty to do, I am speaking here not of
this nor of that King but
of Kings in general
the petition as regularly
goes to the Lord in waiting. Suppose the
Lord in waiting is the ob a person petitioned against? or a friend, or or a friend's friend of his or in short a person of
his party? What becomes of the petition then I happens to be the object of complaint? I
leave it it for any one any body to conjecture. What becomes of it then
The proverb says that it goes petitions go
I have head it said as a sort of proverb the phrase is that petitions
go to make thread-papers for the maids of
honour. We may imagine that where this is they are not very plenty do not spring up in any
known, petitions they are not presented or will not abound among them with great plenty where this expression
is become proverbial: though their scarcity here would
depend upon a principle somewhat different from
that mentioned a little while ago.
But where the King
is not a part only of
the sovereignty but
the whole of it
In a country where the King is but a royalty is but a part of
sovereignty part only of the sovereignty, where none are exposed
to oppression but those who have thought
they should find their account in being so, the
inaccessibility of majesty is one of the less consequence.
Other means of redress are open to
the subject: other channels of information are open
to the sovereign. prince.
