Procedure
Prefat
To neglect this is to
confess indifference to
justice
Not only has the present work this for its object, but
it is the only one that ever had this for its object: if there
be any other, let him who says there is, give the title of it
Under these circumstances In this state, suppose by a functionary
by whom it being is mentioned suppose it treated with silent neglect
and silence what is there but to say what is such silence but
confession? what is it but in effect to say I am content
that the whole system of judicature should continue for
ever a system of studied and all comprehensive injustice
☞ Go on to apply this to individuals refusing or neglecting to meet
for the purpose of petitioning for a system of procedure entirely new.
At length the practice of keeping seven million of
human beings in a state of perfectly recognized political oppression oppr on account
of the oppression of opinion on the subject of religion different
from those of the rulers ruling few has been pronounced by government not
fit to be maintained: and for the giving execution and effect to the judgment so
pronounced means are actually in progress
But in the very country which is the seat of the government,
and in which is the source of that oppression, a state
of oppression still more excruciating grinding is to this day the latest
a much greater number than those same seven millions.
For is it hereto desired as an aim the reasonableness
of which has never yet been matter of dispute. Though
never myself the enemy to any man contemplating the
without regret the fact of having every man for an enemy, shall be I am
content to have enemies in any number on condition of them
rendering to themselves the service which they would experience were
a system of justice injustice to give place to a system of justice. How
How so ever they may act
not merely as as a believer
will be found who will be
ready to stand forward and
say I act to what depend
upon me to prevent
the rendering of a system of procedure conducive to the ends of justice, rather than have to think of the pleasure these men would reap from the contemplation of
existence given to so happy a state of things.
