Constitut. Code
Be the field of discussion thought and action what it seems may, wherever they
are occupied
Whenever the moral branch of the field of thought and
action is on the carpet they are continually occupied
with or without intending it in drawing portraits. The persons
who sit for those portraits belong almost invariable to the
higher orders, qualities in a degree in which it belongs
not to human nature to be in possession of possess them are those continually
ascribed to human nature: qualities by the supposed
possession of which the sentiments of love, respect and admiration
are excited called forth. The use of representing those qualities as
being in the degrees in question possessed by men in
general is that they may be regarded as being in a more
particular degree possessed by those exulted individuals
of whom the nucleus or works in question are or have been
or associates: for in vain coul would any thing
be endeavoured to be represented or probable and credible
if it were seen to be impossible.
Nor can history out of a thousand: not in biography
out of the thousand that tends not to keep men the man plunged into the
error: and this is one of the ways in which error are made the
that they has for its effect and for the most part to a vast extent for its
objects thus being made slaves.
Examples of instruments of delusion of this class at party are found
sermons and articles in the obituaries given in periodical publications.
A has Existence and has been pure to a
maxim in which the mischievousness and absurdity of the artifices
employed to the effect are exemplified in a more
degree. This is the Latin maxim De mortuis nil nisi bonum
Nothing but what is good ought to be said of any one that is dead.
The dead who can not be gratified by flattery are to be flattered; that and why?
that the living who can be deemed deluded by that same flattery may be deceived
by it. Deceived deluded: and to what further end? only that by means of the deceipt delusion they may the less disquiet discontent submitt to be plundered and oppressed.
