Radicalism not dangerous
Introd.
1. Bill &c. recapitulated
2. Virtual universality
the only extent defensible
in principle or permitting
to universal satisfaction
With For housholder suffrage
J.B. would gladly
compound: but unable
to find a reason for
the exclusion must
leave it to others.
2. Virtual universality was is there proposed as being the
only degree of extent which seemed either defensible
in principle, or affording any assured promise of giving
universal satisfaction or any near approach.
In regard to extent I for my own part of it depended
in me would gladly compound for housholder suffrage.
but But if I am But I do not well see how it should come to pass that those
who by in this in plan would be excluded from the right
of suffrage and who would perhaps constitute a majority
of male adults should be satisfied with such
exclusion: and being myself unable to find what
appears to me a reason in favour of it, I must
leave the task to such persons those who consider themselves as in their eyes are
able to accomplish it who in their opinion to whom it appears that they have the means
of accomplishing
it are to be found
have the means of accomplishing it.

3. Absolute equality
being impossible, practical
must stand
in lieu of it. Local
convenience can
never require
the largest most densely peopled district
to be more than
four times as populous
as the most
thinly peopled
3. Absolute equality being physically impossible
if equality be at all regarded, practical equality
must of necessity be substituted. Local convenience
can not but proscribe and that throughout the whole country a degree of departure more or
less considerable. But that scarcely to say that in
any instance such departure should be made prescribed by from it
as shall render the votes in the most populous densely peopled Elective
the most thereby peopled district seems altogether beyond
the bounds of probability.
