Reformists reviewed
II.1 Reformists classed
These classes genera
-species mere creatures
of the fancy
So began Throughout the regime of abstraction
we proceed fearlessly. Classes genera — species these are our
own creatures — creatures of the fancy — creation of our own
fancy, and without injury in possibility of injustice to
any individual human being, we may say of them
what we please — we may do with them what we please
Not so as to the individuals
their sayings they are
located into their niches
in these ideal receptacles
according to their acts
sayings or writings
Not so, when putting in hand these ideal receptacles,
we set about placing in these the individuals
stocking them with individuals, locating in each such
nitch the individual or individuals, who, according to
such conception as their sayings, or writings or acts here
led us to form in relation to those present a good and
sufficient bible to a place wi in it
On this occasion
contrary to usual
practice doubts sometimes
obliged to must take
the place of decisions
a leaf out of Eldon's book
On this occasion, n strongly against the grain
against the bent of an inclination, contrarily to our
usual practice, we may probably not infrequently
find ourselves reduced to take a leaf in out of the book
of Lord Eldon, but giving after all at the end of the
description, instead of decisions, doubts
Consolation
In Under this eventiness doing these we shall however have two
consolations
1 for these doubts the
public does not pay
£30000 a year
One is that in our case, the public will not
as in that other have to pay for moonshine in the place
£ some £30,000 a year or thereabouts
in hand money.
2 If any individual
placed in a wrong
class he can put
himself into a right
one
Structure is — that if in any instance it has shall
have happened to us to trick any that is the individual in a wrong
class, it will be altogether in his power to exempt himself
from sufferance in any stripe, by looking taking himself into his own
hands and treating himself in a the right one.
