Constitutional CodeCh. Sovereignty in whom
But of intellectual aptitude to whatsoever subject applied
the quantum or degree depends upon exertion: upon mental
exertion, always strenuous and naturally unpleasant: unpleasant
at any rate in itself, and in so far as rendered pleasant
rendered so no otherwise than in virtue of the pleasures and
exemptions to the acquisition of which it appears to lead. Now But without
any the least exertion, on a throne or on prospect of a throne
one individual has at his command all the pleasures and
exemptions which the most strenuous exertion could bestow
to no adequate motive therefore has he for exertion: no motive
capable of surmounting any any pain of in any shape
with which it may happen to be attended. Accordingly instead
of appropriate intellectual aptitude, a throne is the
most notorious seat of preeminent intellectual weakness and
inaptitude. Witness Spain, Naples, Austria, Prussia. Witness
the insanity so conspicuous that may be seen in most of the reigning dignitaries
of Europe: insanity blazing forth in one generation,
in another: but destined not improbably to become permanent
in all.
