security and tranquillity nothing can be more advantageous
than the change. Fraud confines its attacks
to property: violence, involving person along with
property, threatens the only sort of mischief which propagates mischief in the only shape in which it is
is irreparable. Property may be replaced by contribution:
not life or limb.
Nor can letters differentiate Letters can not differentiate the person, without but they
differentiate differentiating the antidote: the operation of the poison
is rare and accidental and rare: that of the antidote
constant and universal. The will to preserve
self is never wanting: the will to injure
others never breaks forth into occasion action till unless
but when called forth by some extraordinary combination
behaviour of opportunities and motives.
That the joint abundance of both, an poison
and antidote together is more favourable to moral
health than the rarity of both their joint scarcity, is witnessed by
every page of history. Where letters are a monopoly,
fraud, clad in the mantle of religion, takes
the place of government, and seats itself himself on the
throne. Where have letters been most pernicious productive of most
mischief in Egypt and Hindustan where the monopoly of
them a sacred language has given birth to distinction of each and
slavery not to be eradicated but with the vitals
of the religion, or in 8. Britain where the diffusion
of the letters produces now and then
a forgery, of which the detection is ensured by the
same cause?
