9 August 1810 Ch. §. Engrossment
Press
Instructions to the Legislator
A circumstance An incident by which the any abuse of the press
is liable to be enhanced, and placed in a almost out of the reach
of remedy, and of to which it is therefore necessary that
the eye of the legislator should be fully open is that
of a monopoly or engrossment of the use and services faculty of employing it of the
press.
In the most countries in which the use of the press
is most abundant extensive, and consequently the number of accordingly the proportion of
presses in proportion to the number of inhabitants is at
its highest pitch, for example Great Britain, and
the Anglo-American States, this mischief has always being
and, so far as concerns the most extensive channels of communication, viz.
the periodical publications, and especially the daily newspapers, even
still continues to be felt much more to will it be
liable to have place and be felt in a country where in proportion
to the number of the inhabitants that of the presses in use
is at present, and in spite of all exertions must for
a long time continue to be beyond comparison smaller.
Suppose but one press, wheresoever if there be that
individual or that body of individuals that has that press
altogether at its command, that person or those persons
possess thereby the faculty of giving universal currency to
falshoods misrepresentations of all sorts, excluding at the same time every
communication by which they could be opposed and rectified:
defamation as well as in all shapes, and against ever all sorts of
persons; vituperation in any its most galling forms:
persons: if there are , and the a free state how
can it be otherw without parties? unmerited and constant vituperation of the
party, unmerited and constant laudation of the other.
