In vain would it be said, this is
a wide fixed of inquiry thus marked out— too
wide to be entered upon— the probable profit, does
it not promise to be an equivalent for the trouble?
The answer is yes—an inquiry of

evils sensible and incontrovertible: to controvert
them, they require something at any rate on the
other side: evil, if not in a sensible shape, in
the shape of a tendency, at any rate.

more probability in another circumstance, than
in the contemplation of these effects. This is authority

Of all forms of Government known
at the time of the Establishment of this Constitution,
the English was the least bad, and the most landed.

difficulty in distinguishing from each other: nor
is this among the instances, in which the degree
of difficulty has been least. In
