to dull and quiet times. The regeneration
of an empire, and that upon a plan of excellence
altogether unparallelled in history is not the work
of every day; and the reward for the public spirit
which the stations I am speaking of here spoken of will will have to
offe for public spirit, is, not a share to be exercised in transcendent sovereignty
but a station to be filled in the venture
of judicature. Neither ought the influence of company to
pass unheeded. Allowing much to merit virtue one may allow something
of judicature to necessity and to prudence. Swimming with
the tide is better than sinking. When Saul, whose purpose had⊞ ⊞ been to suppress prophecy
found himself in
the midst of prophets, sunk
to the character
of an the accomplished advocate
as in the of
mind character best
fitted to the
of a Judge.
Neither is a station in a the turn of mind adapted to a seal in numerous legislatures
body by by any means so alone ⊞ by sophistry gloss and management and that best adapted
to the judicial function office. In such a bodies
there are necessarily parties: in such a body businesses
there are points to gain, and to gain by the
arts of party: an advocate retaining the natural with the priest
of the advocate of the profession strong upon him is there by no
means out of his place. A little of that sort
of pliancy which that function of the advocate
is so sure to impress may render a man of
not the more upright at least the more successful
departure partizan in a large assembly, mixed
multitude the field of political warfare.
