4. Over and above the direct uses the Police Gazette,
as already exhibited in the Bill, a collateral another
use, (where though but collateral, and not proper
to be mentioned in in the form of the Bill, may be found still
more important perhaps, than even the direct one )
is -thatthe capacity of being employed as an instrument for
the propagation and maintenance of social dispositions
and affections, and for the preservation
of tranquillity, harmony, and loyalty among
the great body of the people. The species of
intelligence or news, to the circulation of which
it is proposed appropriated<add>proposed</add> to be confinedappropriated — (consisting of
notices of acts of delinquency committed, accompanied
with a display of the punishments and
perils to which the authors stand exposed) is of
itself, in every line of it, a perpetual lesson of
morality and of submission to the laws: and by
the turn, that, under able and suitable management,
might be given to it, this natural
aptitude to the conveyance of wholesome instinction
might be abundantly improved. But
besides this, though precluded from the circulation
of every thing else that can bear the name
of news, it need not be, nor ought it to be,
expressly precluded (and if not expressly, it
will not be regarded as virtually precluded)
from ex administering useful instruction and
exhortation of the moral, and upon occasion
the political cast, in whatever forms may from
time to time present themselves as best adapted
to so importantthe a purpose.
Something in this way
