they might submit to the calamity thus passing upon them — as they
a murrain among Convicts, as they
would to any other calamity, such as a murrain among
the cattle: they might look upon it as a sort of
and passing scourge, and ascribe it rather to a want an absence of
thought rather than to any such exuberance and profundity
of thought. But if As it was not in the nature of the
case that gentlemen thus should find out what
his Grace the noble arbiter of their fate had in view in plaguing them, much less
is it in proof or in probability that his Grace should
ever have condescended to give bestow upon them any such
information of himself. Were even the fact of proposed and
anxious concealment out of the question, no man sent surely

that it should have been the intention of + + any person who either argued it or wrote it, or if there were any such other person other person, thought about it 2 It is converted into a plan, only by the very fabrication of it the noble
