To the gentleman himself it would have seemed,
that in making any such offer he knew what he
was about : — but the "great person" would have known
better things . The more beneficial to the public he
had , in his own view of the matter, made his terms ,
the more appalling the scorn with which he might
have been looked down upon , by the intuitive and
supercalculative wisdom of such high personages : —
after learning from one great person that his terms
were too high , he might learn from another that
they were too low ; or from each of them that they
were too high and tyd too low at the same time: —
and if on any other occasion he had evenr been guilty
of thinking for the public this too might have been
numbered among his "flights". —

What will become of the worthy Magistrate
whose existence , to judge by the terror he seems to
be in of being prosecuted for flattery , seems to depend
upon the breath of the great person's nostrils ?
