Conclusion
Brougham
Merits.
O'Connel
(2) (2)
30 Aug Superseded — concisely
Nor yet in our view of the number is the supply
wanting. Success was hopeless: the time was not ripe for
it was the The Schoolmaster had not yet been
sent abroad: much less had he compleated the cause
which he is now occupied in . Under these circumstances
of all courses practically the most eligible was
the letting down in this gentle way the institution measures the
carrying of which was so manifestly and incontestably
impossible.
An apology thus so completely valid thus evils grounded, can it
be found for the course taken by him in relation to Law
Reform? we doubt it wish it, rather than hope it —: but
the reader will judge. Throughout the whole of his career
we see him toiling in the task of reconciling things irreconcilable:
service of God and service of Mammon. In
Henry Brougham we see throughout a Hercules. But Alas! in his
choice, alas! we see not alas! the choice of Hercules. No Yes to
Daniel O'Connell we must look if to the sight of Hercules
we wish to add the sight of the choice of Hercules. In
the cases of Law Reform (not to speak as yet on the present occasion of Parliamentary
Reform) he as or no man, will take the lead. They being undebateable
what will now be the course of Henry Brougham.
Which is it that O'Connell will find in him? A second or
an Opponent? On which side will he serve? As Lieutenant
General on the side of Reform, or as General on the side of Abuse?
Of whom will he take Counsel? Whom will he take for his Councillors? Wisdom and magnamity
or one part, or Jealousy and Envy on the other? — The
will
So much for propositions, surmises .
Now for [a few] proofs and exemplifications: more than as
far there is room for: a few as here is the only choice
[+]1 Ordinary — not to say
Vulgar Ambition
pulling one way:
Transcendent Ambition
the other way. But
the flowering plum
with its fascinating
surface appear to
him caught him as it were by
the eye: not destined
to receive his footsteps
in the rugged and mountainous
substance.
[+]2 Against Abuse —
against the Pretence
in all its shapes, enlisting
himself under Jeremy
Bentham — (so to have the
GENEROUS himself
has over and over again
declared) he has not set
down the sword — he has
flung away the scabbard.
He has cast off the filth of lucre: He has abjured the indiserv defence of right and wrong: he has made offered up the offering of his matchless talents upon the alter of
Justice.
