Parly Reform Sinecures

aerial generalities

Of men Honorable Gentlemen who take upon them to
give lessons to others – lessons addressed to the supreme power, in and
be put in print the propriety of which the welfare of
the people is at stake, what even to be wished at least
if not expected whether expected or not, that they should be to the ability they
should joint the disposition will to and to make to take lessons themselves,
and to make due and practical profit by those lessons,
themselves.

By lessons I do not on this occasion mean
pulpit solemn preachments, aerial generalities, which, as they
bind nobody give as little umbrage as they do instruction
to anybody – but The lessons deduced f I mean are those such as
which are afforded by experience and such lessons afforded
by recent transactions but just past, and in which they themselves
have just been taking a part.

Those great Offices in the Exchequer, thus marked out
by those Special specially appointed Guardians of the public purse what
are they? At the very head of the list, as being the
very first which it there was had any thing to do for it in peace
and still though there be is nothing to do for it, still in patronage,
and thence – forasmuch as to idleness
and causeless profit it adds power that species of power
of that sort which is in the shape of patronage – in dignity
stands the Auditorship.
