Moreover in the infancy of government, no example of the disease no such disease nor any
thing like it having occurred, it was altogether impossible for human wisdom to foresee it. In the
days of Brutus and Collatinus, or Alfred, or or Hugh , or Alfred or
William the Conqueror what prophet could have depictured to himself any
such labyrinth as that of Roman or French or English procedure?
Bribery, the corruption of rude ages, he might have seen in plenty,
which way soever he cast his eyes: corruption, in this thus wrapt covered up
will as in an abscess, with the complicated system of organization
that was the fruit of it, was a disease altogether undiscoverable
by any other light than that of experience.
Intelligence therefore, not less than power, intelligence and therefore
some instruction was wanting, necessarily wanting, to the production of the
only effectual remedy.
like the small pox was thus intended upon mankind,
till generation upon generation under it, before the
remedy of fixed salaries, like vaccination, could be called in,
to dock the , and effect a cure. But should a cure ever be
effected, what a prodigious mass of matter to be discharged!
