Invitation by Denmark
Fredrick of Prussia

On this occasion Denmark
might look to Prussia
for an example — Frederick
the Great

On this occasion not altogether without profit, might
Denmark look to Prussia. For effecting this great change, to
Frederick the Great the will — the desire was not wanting. This In
his words in more parts than one it stand explicitly declared.
What was wanting was — not the appropriate moral,
but the appropriate intellectual aptitude: not to speak of the
appropriate active aptitude on the part of an the official subordinate
or Justice Ministers, or some inferior functionary whose law was
at his command. I So far as they would not in his conception
of them be detrimental to his own personal interest, he wished to have
good laws. But Yet that which he explicitly declares he would not have
at any rate in black and white attached to his laws — was an assortment
of reasons destined to the conjunct purpose of explaining
and justifi giving explanation and justification of those same laws:
Give names (says he) for your laws, the first Advocate that sees
them standing lying in his way will lay hold of them, pull them to him
and destroy their form and divest them of their efficiency effective force.
What the Monarch notwithstanding all his sagacity did not see
was — that so far from giving a facility to the mischievous operators
he was apprehensive of, a rationale was the only sort of protection
which the nature of things the case was capable of providing
against such attacks The arguments of the Advocates would by the
supposition be no better than fallacious — false lights: In the and by reason
in question the nature of the case furnished true lights, the only
true light picture by which the illusion producible by the false lights could
be excluded or dispatched. By the supposition, the laws themselves were
actually good: but this they could not be but in proportion as
good reason in support of them had place in the nature of things
and were capable of being brought first, and applied to employed in their support.
