Parly Reform Sinecures
result the mixt nature, even in : one an absolute Hierarchy
results from : as necessary to body politic in a to natural
§. 18. Sinecures are an abuse peculiar to English government.
Abuses or Abuse in this form is it to be found
has it ever been to be found under in any equal quantity in any other government? under
any other the most worst conducted government.
I have read searched – I have enquired – and from everything
that I have ever read or heard, the conclusion
is in the negative.
The cause is simple enough. A commonwealth will
not confer them such things. There is nothing of this kind is to be found in the American
States.
An absolute monarchy has no need of them. Nothing
of that kind in Prussia, under the great Frederic. Nothing
in Russia. Nothing or next to nothing even in France
be I mean of course before the Revolution. As to
Bonaparte, let any one imagine whether it be possible that
abuse under eyes like his anything of that abuse in any such shape,
abuse the of negligence, should into existence.
The In our mixed monarchy may be found the only
sort in which such fruit produce can grow.
Need it be said that it is the result of that system land
of corruption which pervades has crept into and through the whole system, and
which because it is seen and felt in it is said to
be necessary to it, but which is in fact on examination
would be found no more necessary or beneficial to the nature
a parts body politic than a putrid ulcer
to the natural body.
