1823 Constitut. Code Self-Preference Its Universality
Preface. iii Adams' Defence of this Constitution Adams's tacit assumption that all Rulers have had for
their object universal good. In the instance of every individual
of whose conduct he had any means of information each man's
experience proved to him the contrary. All this notwithstanding,
he continued satisfying paying himself and others with the appropriate
general rule. Why? Because that same general rule was
what he heard from all mouths as well as read in all books
and to this same general rule his own opposite experiences
and observations were regarded as forming so many exceptions
and those exceptions how numerous soever what did was the
aggregate amount to, in comparison of the infinity of instances
comprising the general rule.
Such has been in this instance the process of self-deception,
& that self deception perhaps little less than
universal.
