Text. . Par 6.
“But by the present judicious combination
of England, Prussia, Sweden, and perhaps Denmark,
it is likely to receive a seasonable check; in
proportion as Russia will thereby be reduced, Sweden
will rise in importance, and become firmly
attached to this country, by whose assistance it
has been raised from it’s late insignificance, and
rescued from the power of Russia, which has long
mediated it’s destinction.”
Observations on Par. 6.
In this hodge-podge paragraph, there is
such a combination of ignorance, absurdity, false
statement and cool wickedness, as should effectually

any assignable cause, take sudden shoots, while others,
equally without any assignable cause, are at a stand,
on on the decline, and in a state of insignificance: —
that a nation is at any time, and for no reason
but that of it’s being in a state of prosperity, and
because it is possible she may, some time or other,
save turn assailants, be assaulted, and checked, in order
to be reduced: — and thereby that at all times when
there is one nation more powerful than another,
that
