Letter
Preface
Contempt is among these emotions an emotion which it is not ever pleasant for
(2 Angry
a man to think concern himself the object of, and still less
to declare it. If not in our point of view
it is an aggravation of suffering, in another it is a sort
of imitation under it, to an obscure individual, to think reflect
that in the contempt so wantonly lavishly poured upon his head
the laws of his country, and the authority of Parliament,
receive have ever received so large a share.
Time in his very plan would number it among those consolations
Another sort of consolation it may be , though
still of the sinister and ambiguous kind, that if contempt
is only the emotion outwardly indicated and as far as possible
expressed, hatred is the emotion inwardly and really felt.
If proofs were wanting, it is within a character's depth
----
There is not a more hated character than a man who being
innocent and oppressed injured is not altogether without the faculties
that enable a man to prove demonstrate the injury, which they are if
the worst qualities which embolden him apart and forelorn
his :
----
enough is the distress which so long has months process of im-
-possible power to a which under so many calls
for self-justification operating is a confession of guilt; and in the
application made to Parliament for a cover to the
illegality of which at his my they stand ref-
-. What Contempt asserted,
is not the emotion felt incited by this idea of an enemy to when
man has been for safety.
