+     That all its tempest-beaten turrets shake,
+     Stand motionless expectants of its fall."

+
+
+     THIS PRIEST,
+
+               made 'according to Law,'
+
+{026}
+
+     Who, on being ordain'd, vow'd, by rote, like a daw,
+     That he felt himself call'd, by the Holy Spirit,
+
+     To teach men the Kingdom of Heaven to merit;
+     That, to think of the World and the flesh he'd cease,
+     And keep men in quietness, love, and peace;
+
+     And, making thus his profession and boast,
+     Receiv'd, from the Bishop, the Holy Ghost:
+
+     Then--not having the fear of God before him--
+
+     Is sworn in a Justice, and one of the _Quorum_;
+     'Gainst his spiritual Oath, puts his Oath of the Bench,
+     And, instead of his Bible, examines a wench;
+
+     Gets Chairman of Sessions--leaves his flock, sick
+              or dying,
+
+     To license Ale-houses--and assist in the trying
+     Of prostitutes, poachers, pickpockets, and thieves;--
+     Having _charged_ the Grand Jury, dines with them,
+     and gives
+
+     "Church and King without day-light gets _fresh_,
+              and puts in--
+
+     To the stocks vulgar people, who fuddle with gin:
+     Stage-coach men, and toll-men, convicts as he pleases;
+     And beggars and paupers incessantly teazes:
+     Commits starving vagrants, and orders Distress
+     On the Poor, for their Rates--signs warrants to press,
+     And beats up for names to a Loyal Address:
+     Would indict, for Rebellion, those who Petition:
+     And, all who look peaceable, try for Sedition;
+
+{027}
+
+     If the People were legally Meeting, in quiet,
+     Would pronounce it decidedly--_sec. Stut_.--a Riot,
+     And order the Soldiers 'to aid and assist,'
+
+     That is--kill the helpless, who cannot resist.
+
+     He, though vowing 'from all worldly studies to
+            cease,'
+
+     Breaks the Peace of the Church, to be Justice of Peace;
+     Breaks his vows madeto Heaven: a pander for power;
+     A Perjurer--a guide to the People no more;
+
+     On God turns his back,
+
+                     when he turns the State's Agent;
+     And damns his own Soul,
+
+                       to be friends with the --------.

+'It is a wonderful thing to consider the strength of Princes' wills when

+
+DECLARATION.
+
+     The Prodigal Son, by his perils surrounded,
+
+     Vex'd, harass'd, bewilder'd, asham'd, and con-
+           founded,
+
+     Fled for help to his Father,
+
+                    confessed his ill doing,
+
+     And begged for salvation
+
+                    from stark staring ruin;
+
+     The sire urged--"The People
+
+                  your debts have twice paid,
+
+     "And, to ask a third time,
+
+                    even Pitt is afraid;
+
+     "But he shall if you'll marry, and lead a new life,--
+     "You've a cousin in Germany--make her your
+     wife!"
+
+{033}
+
+[Illustration: 041]
+
+ACCEPTATION.
+
+      From the high halls of Brunswick, all youthful and
+
+              gay,
+
+      From the hearth of her fathers, he lured her away:
+      How joy'd she in coming--
+
+                      how smiling the bower;
+      flow sparkling their nuptials--
+
+                     how welcome her dower.
+
+      Ah! short were her pleasures--full soon came her
+             cares--
+
+      Her husbandless bride-bed was wash'd with her
+             tears.
+
+{034}
+
+[Illustration: 042]
+
+ALTERATION.
+
+     Near a million of debts gone,
+
+                      all gone were her charms--
+     What! an Epicure have _his own_ wife
+     in his arms?
+
+     She was not to his _taste_--
+
+                       what car'd _he_ for the 'form,'
+
+     'To love and to cherish'
+
+                     could not mean reform:
+
+     'To love' meant, of course, nothing else
+                      but neglect;--
+
+     'To cherish' to leave her,
+
+                    and shew disrespect
+
+{035}
+
+[Illustration: 043]
+
+IMPUTATION.
+
+     Was it manly, when widow'd,
+
+                      to spy at her actions;
+
+     To listen to eaves-droppers,
+
+                      whisp'ring detractions:
+
+     And, like an old Watchman,
+
+                      with faults to conceal,
+
+     Get up a _false Charge_,
+
+                      as a proof of his zeal?
+
+     If desertion was base, Oh base be his name,
+     Who, having deserted, would bring her to sham?
+
+{036}
+
+[Illustration: 044]
+
+EXCULPATION.
+
+     Undaunted in spirit, her courage arose,
+
+     With encrease of charges, and encrease of foes.
+     Despising the husband,
+
+                     who thus had abused her,
+
+     She proved to his father,
+
+                        his son had ill used her:--
+
+     Her conduct examin'd, and sifted, shone bright,
+     Her enemies fled, as the shadows of night
+
+{037}
+
+[Illustration: 045]
+
+EMIGRATION.
+
+     Her father and king, while with reason yet blest,
+     Protected her weakness, and shielded her rest;
+     Infirmity seizes him, false friends draw near,
+
+     Then spies gather round, and malignants appear;
+     And cajole, wait, watch, insult,
+
+                       alarm, and betray,
+
+     Till from home, and her daughter,
+
+                       they force her away.
+
+{038}
+
+[Illustration: 046]
+
+REMIGRATION.
+
+     Still pursued, when a 'wanderer,'
+
+                      her child sleeps in death,
+
+     And her best friend, in England, her king,
+                     yields his breath;
+
+     This gives her new rights--
+
+                     they neglect and proscribe her;
+
+     She threatens returning--they then try to bribe her!
+
+     The bullies turn slaves, and, in meanness, fawn on her:
+
+     They feel her contempt, and they vow her dishonour;
+
+     But she 'steers her own course,' comes indignantly
+           over,
+
+     And the shouts of the nation salute her at Dover!
+
+{039}
+
+[Illustration: 047]
+
+CONSTERNATION.
+
+     Ah, what was that groan!--
+
+                  'twas the Head of the Church,
+     When he found she was come--
+
+                  for he dreaded a search
+     Into what _he_'d been doing:
+
+                   and sorely afraid, for
+     What _she_ might find out,
+
+                    cried '_I'll not have her pray'd for'_;
+
+     And the B------ps, obeying their _pious_ Head,
+
+                  care took
+     That the name of his wife
+
+                  should be out of the prayer book!
+
+     A BURNING SHAME!"
+
+{040}
+
+[Illustration: 048]
+
+ACCUSATION.
+
+     On searching for precedents, much to their dread,
+     They found that they could n't well cut off her head;
+
+{041}
+
+      And the 'House of Incurables' raised a 'Report'
+      She was not a fit person to live in _his_ Court.
+
+     How like an OLD CHARLEY
+
+                  they then made him stand,
+
+      In his lanthorn a _leech_,
+
+                   the 'Report' in his hand.
+
+      'Good folks be so good as not go near that door
+      'For, though my own wife, she _is_--I could say more
+      'But it's all in this _Bag_, and there'll be a fine pother,
+
+      'I shall get rid of her, and I'll then get another!'
+
+      Yet he thought, to himself,--
+
+                    'twas a thought most distressing,--
+
+      'If _she_ should discover
+
+                  I've been M--ch--ss--g,
+
+      'There's an end of the whole!
+
+      D----rs C-ns, of course,
+
+      'If _my own_ hands are dirty,
+
+       won't grant a D------ce!'
+
+      He tried to look wise, but he only look'd wild;
+      The women laugh'd out, and the grave even smiled:
+      The old frown'd upon him--the children made sport,
+      And his wife held her _ridicule_ at his 'Report'!
+
+                     Moral.
+
+                 _Be warn'd by his fate
+                    Married, single, and all;
+
+                Ye elderly Gentlemen,
+
+                      Pity his fall!_

+
+      As yon bright orb, that vivifies our ball,

+
+{043}
+
+      So, sees and shines, our Moral Sun, The Press,
+      Alike to vivify the mind, and bless;
+
+      Sees the rat _Leech_ turn towards Milan's walls,
+
+      'Till the black slime betrays him as he crawls;'
+      Sees, from that recreant, vile, and eunuch-land,
+      Where felon-perjurers hold their market-stand,

+
+      With face, scarce half conceal'd, behind their mask,
+      Fat, fifty-eight, and frisky, still a beau,
+
+      Grasping a half-made match, by _Leech_-light go;
+      Led by a passion, prurient, blind, and batter'd,

+      shatter'd;
+
+      Creeping, like Guy Fawkes, to blow up his wife,
+      Whom, spurn'd in youth, he dogs through after-life.
+
+      Scorn'd, exiled, baffled, goaded in distress,
+
+      She owes her safety to a fearless Press:
+
+      With all the freedom that it makes its own,
+
+      It guards, alike, the people and their throne;
+
+      While fools with darkling eye-balls shun its gaze,
+      And soaring villains scorch beneath its blaze.

+
+     Shakspeare says, in King John, it's a curse most

+
+     That '_Slaves_ take the humours of Kings for a warrant.'
+     A more _useful_ truth never fell from his pen,
+

+     Indulging your wish for
+
+                   what, with law,'s incompatible,
+
+     For the present, they've render'd your crown
+     not come-at-able;
+
+     And the tongues of old women and infancy wag,
+     With, 'He call'd for his crown--and

+
+July 29, 1820.
+
+   ----The queerest of all the queer sights
+   I've set sight on;--
+   Is, the _what dye-call'-t thing_, here,
+   The Folly at Brighton
+
+{049}
+
+The outside--huge teapots,
+
+                  all drill'd round with holes,
+Relieved by extinguishers,
+
+                  sticking on poles:
+
+The inside--all tea-things,
+
+                and dragons, and bells,
+
+The show rooms--_all_ show,
+
+                 the sleeping rooms--cells.
+
+But the _grand_ Curiosity
+
+                    's not to be seen--
+
+The owner himself--
+
+               an old fat Mandarin;
+
+A patron of painters
+
+                who copy designs,
+
+That grocers and tea-dealers
+
+                 hang up for signs:
+
+Hence teaboard-taste artists
+
+                 gain rewards and distinction,
+Hence his title of 'Teapot'
+
+                  shall last to extinction.
+
+I saw his great chair
+
+                   into which he falls--soss--
+And sits, in his China Shop,
+
+                  like a large Joss;
+
+His mannikins round him,
+
+                  in tea-tray array,
+
+His pea-hens beside him,
+
+               to make him seem gay.
+
+{050}
+
+       It is said when he sleeps
+
+                      on his state Eider-down,
+
+      And thinks on his Wife,
+
+                       and about _half_ a Crown;
+
+That he wakes from these horrible dreams in a stew;
+
+And that, stretching his arms out,
+
+                     he screams, Mrs. Q.!
+
+     He's cool'd on the M--ch-ss,
+
+                     but I'm your debtor
+
+       For further particulars--
+
+                         in a C letter.
+
+You must know that he hates _his own_ wife, to a failing;--
+
+       And it's thought, it's to shun her,
+       he's now gone out
+
+SAILING.

+   THE ORDER FOR DAILY PRAYER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
+
+    _At the beginning of Morning and Evening Prayer the
+    Minister may read with a loud voice some one or more
+    of these Sentences of the Scriptures that follow. And
+    then may be said that which is written after the said
+    Sentences, together with other suitable portions of the
+    usual Service._
+
+{055}
+
+    WHEN the righteous are in authority, the people
+    rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the
+    people mourn. _Prov. xxix. 2._
+
+    By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make
+    the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the
+    arm of the mighty. _Job, xxxv. 9._
+
+    If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are
+    wicked. _Prov. xxix. 12._
+
+    The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men
+    are exalted. _Psalm xii. 8._
+
+    They are exalted for a little while, but they are
+    gone and brought low: they are taken out of the way
+    as all other, and cut off as the tops of green corn.
+    _Job, xxiv. 24._
+
+    A righteous man falling down before the wicked is
+    as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. _Prov.
+    xxv. 26._
+
+    A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth
+    the wheel over them. _Prov. xx. 26._
+
+{056}
+
+   _This Hymn following may be used; one Verse by the
+   Priest, and another by the Clerk and People._
+
+    O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious:
+    and his mercy endureth for ever. _Psalm cvii. 1.
+
+   Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed:
+   and delivered from the hand of the enemy. Verse 2._
+
+    Many a time have they fought against me from my
+    youth up. _Psalm cxxix. 1._
+
+   _Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth
+   up: but they have not prevailed against me. Verse 2._
+
+    They have privily laid their net to destroy me
+    without a cause: yea, even without a cause have they
+    made a pit for my soul. _Psalm xxxv. 7._
+
+    _They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my
+    soul: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen
+    into the midst of it themselves. Psalm lvii. 7._
+
+    Great is our Lord, and great is his power: yea,
+    and his wisdom is infinite. _Psalm cxlvii. 5._
+
+    _The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the un-
+    godly down to the ground. Verse 6._
+
+   _Two Psalms appointed in the Book of Common Prayer
+
+   to be said on the 29th of each month throughout the year._
+
+   PSALM CXL. _Eripe me, Domine._.
+
+   DELIVER me, O Lord, from the evil man: and
+   preserve me from the wicked man.
+
+    2 Who imagine mischief in their hearts: and stir
+    up strife all the day long.
+
+    3 They have sharpened their tongues like a ser-
+    pent: adders' poison is under their lips.
+
+    4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the un-
+    godly: preserve me from the wicked men, who are
+    purposed to overthrow my goings.
+
+{057}
+
+    5 The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread
+    a net abroad with cords: yea, and set traps in my
+    way.
+
+    6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear
+    the voice of my prayers, O Lord.
+
+    7 O Lord God, thou strength of my health: thou
+    hast covered my head in the day of battle.
+
+    8 Let not the ungodly have his desire, O Lord:
+    let not his mischievous imagination prosper, lest they
+    be too proud.
+
+    9 Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the
+    head of them: that compass me about.
+
+    10 Let hot burning coals fall upon them: let them
+    be cast into the fire, and into the pit, that they never
+    rise up again.
+
+    11 A man full of words shall not prosper upon the
+    earth: evil shall hunt the wicked person to overthrow
+    him.
+
+    12 Sure I am that the Lord will avenge the poor:
+    and maintain the cause of the helpless.
+
+    IS The righteous also shall give thanks unto thy
+    Name: and the just shall continue in thy sight.
+
+   PSALM CXLI. _Domine clamavi._
+
+    LORD, I call upon thee, haste thee unto me and
+    consider my voice when I cry unto thee.
+
+    2 Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the
+    incense: and let the lifting up of my hands be an
+    evening sacrifice.
+
+    3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and
+    keep the door of my lips.
+
+    4 O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil
+    thing: let me not be occupied in ungodly works with
+    the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such
+    things as please them.
+
+{058}
+      5 Let the righteous rather smite me friendly: and
+    reprove me.
+
+      6 But let not their precious balms break my head:
+    yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness.
+
+      7 Let their judges be overthrown in stony places:
+    that they may hear my words, for they are sweet.
+
+      8 Our bones lie scattered before the pit: like as
+    when one breaketh and hevveth wood upon the earth.
+
+      9 But mine eyes look unto thee, O Lord God: in
+    thee is my trust, O cast not out my soul.
+
+      10 Keep me from the snare that they have laid for
+    me: and from the traps of the wicked doers.
+
+      11 Let the ungodly fall into their own nets toge-
+    ther: and let me ever escape them.
+
+   _The Suffrages may be as followeth._
+
+      Priest. O Lord, save the Queen.
+
+      People. Who putteth her trust in thee.
+
+      Priest. Send her help from thy holy place.
+
+      People. And evermore mightily defend her.
+
+      Priest. Let her enemies have no advantage against
+    her.
+
+   People. Let not the wicked approach to hurt her.
+
+   _After the Collects_ [for Peace and Deliverance from
+   our Enemies] _may be said that which followeth._
+
+    ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who of thy
+    gracious providence, and tender mercy towards
+    us, didst prevent the malice and imaginations of our
+    enemies, by discovering and confounding their horrible
+    and wicked Enterprize, plotted and intended to have
+    been executed against the Queen and the whole State
+    of _England_, for the subversion of the Government
+    and Religion established among us; and didst like-
+    wise wonderfully conduct thy Servant Queen _Caroline_,
+   and bring her safely into _England_, and preserve us
+   from the attempts of our enemies to bereave us of our
+   religion and laws: We most humbly praise and mag-
+   nify thy most glorious Name for thy unspeakable
+   goodness towards us, expressed in both these acts of
+   thy mercy. Let the consideration of this thy re-
+   peated goodness, O Lord, work in us true repentance,
+   that iniquity may not be our ruin. And increase in
+   us more and more a lively faith and love, fruitful in
+   all holy obedience; that thou mayest still continue
+   thy favour, with the light of thy Gospel, to us and
+   our posterity for evermore. _Amen._
+
+{059}
+
+   _Prayer._
+
+   ALMIGHTY God, who hast in all ages shewed
+   thy Power and Mercy in the protection of
+   righteous States from the wicked conspiracies, and
+   malicious practices of all the enemies thereof: We
+   yield thee our unfeigned thanks and praise, for the
+   wonderful and mighty deliverance of our gracious
+   Queen CAROLINE, by cruel treachery appointed as
+   a sheep to the slaughter, in a most barbarous and
+   savage manner, beyond the examples of former ages.
+   From this unnatural conspiracy, not our merit, but
+   thy mercy; not our foresight, but thy providence
+   delivered us: And therefore not unto us, O Lord,
+   not unto us, but unto thy Name be ascribed all
+   honour and glory, in all Churches of the saints, from
+   generation to generation. _Amen._
+
+   _Instead of the Prayer_ [In time of War and Tu-
+   mults] _may be used this Prayer following._
+
+{060}
+
+   ETERNAL God, and our most mighty Protector,
+   we thy unworthy servants do humbly present
+   ourselves before thy Majesty, acknowledging thy
+   power, wisdom, and goodness, in preserving the
+   Queen from the destruction intended against her.
+   Make us, we beseech thee, truly thankful for this,
+   and for all other thy great mercies towards us; par-
+   ticularly we bless thee for giving Her Majesty a safe
+   arrival here, and for making all opposition fall before
+   her. We beseech thee to protect and defend her
+   from all treasons and conspiracies; Preserve her in
+   thy faith, fear, and love; prosper her with long hap-
+   piness here on earth; and crown her with everlasting
+   glory hereafter. _Amen._
+
+   _The following may be said or sung, one Verse by the
+   Priest, another by the Clerk and People._
+
+     Grant the Queen a long life: and make her glad
+   with the joy of thy countenance. _Psalm Ixi. 6._ and
+   xxi. 6.
+
+     _Let her dwell before thee for ever: O prepare thy
+   loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve her._
+   Psalm lxi. 7.
+
+     In her time let the righteous flourish: and let peace
+   be in all our borders. _Psalm Ixxii. 7_. and cxlii. 14.
+
+     _As for her enemies, clothe them with shame: but upon
+   herself let her crown flourish._ Psalm cxxxii. 19.
+
+   _Also this._
+
+     Thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wicked-
+   ness: neither shall any evil dwell with thee. _Psalm
+   v. 4._
+
+   _Thou wilt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord
+   abhors both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man._ ver: 6.
+
+     O how suddenly do they consume: perish, and
+   come to a fearful end! _Psalm_ lxxiii. 18.
+
+     _Yea, even like as a dream, when one awaketh: so
+   didst thou make their image to vanish out of the city._
+   ver. 19.

+
+      Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
+    do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the
+    Prophets. _St. Matt._ vii. 12.
+
+    _Also may be profitably read these Sentences._
+
+      There is a generation that are pure in their own
+   eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
+   _Prov._ xxx. 12.
+
+      Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
+    that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
+    that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! _Isaiah_,
+    v. 20. '
+
+      Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
+    ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter.
+    _Matt_, xxiii. 25.
+
+      But your inside is full of ravening and wickedness.
+    _Luke_, xi. 39.
+
+      Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
+   for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men
+   that walk over them are not aware of them. _Luke,_
+   xi. 44.
+
+      His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
+   and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
+   _Prov._ v. 22.
+
+      He shall die without instruction; and in the great-
+    ness of his folly he shall go astray. _Prov_. v. 23.
+
+      The congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate
+   and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
+   _Job_, xv. 34.
+
+      _After the Prayer_ [For the whole State of Christ's
+      Church, &c.] _this Collect following may be used._
+
+{062}
+
+   ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who, of
+   thine infinite and unspeakable goodness towards
+   us, didst in a most extraordinary and wonderful man-
+   ner disappoint and overthrow the wicked designs of
+   those traitorous, heady, and high-minded men, who,
+   under the pretence of Religion and thy most holy
+   Name, had contrived, and well-nigh effected the utter
+   destruction of thy Servant CAROLINE, our beloved
+   Queen: as we do this day most heartily and devoutly
+   adore and magnify thy glorious Name for this thine
+   infinite goodness already vouchsafed to us; so do we
+   most humbly beseech thee to continue thy grace and
+   favour towards us, that no such dismal calamity may
+   ever again fall upon us. Infatuate and defeat all the
+   secret counsels of deceitful and wicked men against
+   us. Abate their pride, asswage their malice, and
+   confound their devices. With judgment and justice
+   cut off all such workers of iniquity, as turn Religion
+   into Rebellion, and Faith into Faction; that they
+   may never prevail against us, nor triumph in the
+   ruin of the Monarchy. Protect and defend Her Ma-
+   jesty from all treasons and conspiracies. Be unto her
+   an helmet of salvation, and a strong tower of defence
+   against the face of all her enemies; clothe them with
+   shame and confusion, but let Her for ever flourish.
+   So we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will
+   give thee thanks for ever, and will always be shewing
+   forth thy praise from generation to generation.--
+   _Amen._
+
+   _Or there may be sung or said this Hymn following:
+      one Verse by the Priest, and another by the Clerk
+      and people._
+
+   MY song shall be alway of the loving kindness of
+   the Lord: with my mouth will I ever be shew-
+   ing forth his truth from one generation to another.
+   _Psalm_ lxxxix. 1.
+
+{063}
+
+     _The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his
+   marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remem-
+   brance._ Psalm cxi. 4.
+
+     Who can express the noble acts of the Lord: or
+   shew forth all his praise? _Psalm_ cvi. 2.
+
+   _The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all
+   them that have pleasure therein_. Psalm cxi. 2.
+
+     The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the
+   nngodly down to the ground. _Psalm_ cxlvii. 6.
+
+   _The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment: for
+   all them that are oppressed with wrong._ Psalm ciii. 6.
+
+   _This Collect may likewise be used._
+
+   O ALMIGHTY God, who art a strong tower of
+   defence unto thy servants against the face of
+   their enemies; We yield thee praise and thanksgiving
+   for the wonderful deliverance of these kingdoms from
+   the GREAT CONSPIRACY, and all the Miseries
+   and Oppressions consequent thereupon. We acknow-
+   ledge it thy goodness, that we are not utterly deli-
+   vered over as a prey unto our enemies; beseeching
+   thee still to continue such thy mercy towards us, that
+   all the world may know that thou art our Saviour and
+   mighty deliverer. _Amen._
+
+   _After the Prayer for the King, the Priest may say
+
+      thus._
+
+     Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all
+   the days of thy vanity, which he hath given thee
+   under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is
+   thy portion in _this_ life, and in thy labour which thou
+   takest under the sun. _Eccl_. ix. 9.
+
+     So ought men to love their wives as their own
+   bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. _Eph._
+   v. 28.
+
+{064}
+      Let every one of you in particular so love his wife
+   even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
+   her husband. _Eph_. v. 33.
+
+     It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife,
+   let him give her a writing of divorcement:
+
+     But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
+   his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth
+   her to commit adultery. _Matt_. v. 31,32.
+
+     _The Collect for God's protection of the Queen against
+                        all her enemies._
+
+   MOST gracious God, we most humbly beseech
+   thee to protect thy Servant CAROLINE, our
+   beloved Queen, from all the dangers to which she may
+   be exposed; Hide her from the gathering together
+   of the froward, and from the insurrection of wicked
+   doers; Do thou weaken the hands, blast the designs,
+   and defeat the enterprizes of all her enemies; that no
+   secret conspiracies, nor open violences, may disquiet
+   her; but that, being safely kept under the shadow of
+   thy wing, and supported by thy power, she may tri-
+   umph over all opposition; that so the world may
+   acknowledge thee to be her Defender and mighty.
+   Deliverer in all difficulties and adversities. _Amen._
+
+   _This may also be said._
+
+       LORD God of our salvation, who hast been ex-
+   ceedingly gracious unto this land, and by thy
+   miraculous providence didst deliver us out of our
+   miserable confusion; by restoring to us, and to her
+   own just and undoubted rights, our most gracious
+   Queen CAROLINE, notwithstanding all the power
+   and malice of her enemies; and to the great comfort
+   and joy of our hearts: We are here now before thee,
+   with all due thankfulness, to acknowledge thine un-
+   speakable goodness herein, and to offer unto thee our"
+    sacrifice of praise for the same; we beseech thee to
+    bless the Queen with all increase of grace, honour
+    and happiness, in this world, and to crown her with
+    immortality and glory in the world to come. _Amen_.
+
+{065}
+
+   _Versicles._
+
+   As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so ho-
+   nour is not seemly for a fool. _Prov._ xxvi. 1.
+
+    The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it can-
+    not rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. _Isa_. lvii.
+    29.
+
+   Take away the wicked from before the king, and
+   his throne shall be established in righteousness. _Prov._-
+   xxv. 5.
+
+   When it goeth well with the righteous, the city
+   rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is
+   shouting. _Prov_. xi. 10.
+
+   A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he
+   that speaketh lies shall not escape. _Prov_. ix. 5.
+
+   Great men are not always wise: neither do the
+   aged understand judgment. _Job_, xxxii. 9.
+
+    For the transgression of a land, many are the princes
+    thereof: but by a man of understanding and know-
+    ledge, the state thereof shall be prolonged. _Prov._
+    xxviii. 2.
+
+   As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a
+   wicked ruler over the poor people. _Prov._ xxviii. 15.
+
+   Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and
+   foolish king, who will no more be admonished. _Eccl_.
+   iv. 13.
+
+    His bones are full of the sins of his youth, which
+    shall lie down with him in the dust. _Job_, xx. 11.
+
+   Be wise now therefore O ye kings; be instructed
+   ye judges of the earth. _Psalm_ ii. 10.

+
+   ==>LOST, {070}at the Court Martial, Signor MY JOKEY'S
+MEMORY, together with his Government Victualling Bill; both a little
+damaged, and of no use but to the owner. Whoever will bring them to the
+Publisher, in time to be restored to the Signor's disconsolate Mother,
+Mrs. _Leech_, shall be rewarded with a "_Non mi ricordo!"_
+
+"NON MI RICORDO!"
+
+CROSS EXAMINED BY MR. BESOM.
+
+WHO {071}are you? Non mi ricordo.
+
+What countryman are you?--a foreigner or an englishman? Non mi
+ricordo.
+
+Do you _understand_ English? No not at all.
+
+Will the Oath you have taken _bind_ you to speak the truth, or do you
+know of any other Oath _more_ binding?
+
+The Turnstile General objected to the ques-tion; upon which a
+discussion arose as to the nature of the Oath likely to bind the
+Witness, who ap-peared to be playing with a thread. The Witness was
+accordingly asked, by way of illustration, to what degree he thought
+the thread was _binding_, and whether he knew of any thing else _more_
+binding?
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore said, if the Witness believed the thread
+he held was _binding_, that was sufficient.
+
+The Lord Precedents opinion gave rise to a long discussion as to whether
+_more_ binding was _binding_, and binding was _more_ binding; which
+ended in a reference to the Erminians, who delivered the following
+solemn opinion:--If the Witness shall answer that he thinks the bit of
+thread is _binding_, there is no doubt it _is_ binding; but he cannot
+be asked if a cord is _more_ binding, because he in fact says {072}that
+the thread itself is _binding_. If the Witness twists the thread round
+his little finger he is so far bound by it, and it is _binding_; and
+having done that, it is unnecessary to inquire whether a cord, round
+another part of his body, would be _more_ binding.
+
+_Question over-ruled._
+
+CROSS EXAMINATION RESUMED.
+
+You are a master tailor, I think? I was cut out for a tailor.
+
+You have been a tailor, then? I only follow tailoring as a mere
+amusement.
+
+Fond of _Goose_ I suppose--but pray Mr. Mere-amusement what is your
+business? I was brought up a _Cabinet_ maker.
+
+What can you get at it?--are you a good hand? I can't say I am; I'm
+badly off; my _tools_ are worn out.
+
+What is your place of residence?
+
+(_Order Order_).
+
+The Turnstile General protested against the consequences of this mode of
+Examination.
+
+Lord Juryman--Why does not the Interpreter give the Witness's Answer.
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore--Because the Bench objects to the
+question.
+
+Lord MUDDLEPOOL--Does the Turnstile General object to the question.
+
+The Turnstile General. I do object to it, my Lord. This is perhaps the
+most important question that ever occurred. By this dealing out, the
+party is placed in such a situation as he never was placed in before.
+
+Mr. {073}Besom--I ask him where he now lives, and the Turnstile General
+objects to this, because I do not put all the questions I might put, in
+a single breath.
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore--I feel great difficulty--I doubt..
+
+Lord Wheelbarrow thought there was a _great_ deal in what the noble Lord
+had said; and _he_ doubted.
+
+CROSS EXAMINATION RESUMED.
+
+How much money has been expended on you since you were born? Non mi
+ricordo.
+
+What have you done for it in return? More less than more.
+
+How do you get your living? I was waiter for some years at the Hotel
+_de Grand Bretagne_, and succeeded my father as head waiter at the
+_Crown_ Inn.
+
+What wages have you? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Have you any perquisites? _Veils_.
+
+Are you _head waiter_, or by what other name than head waiter you may be
+called, at the Crown Inn?
+
+I am after building a new place called the _Wellington Arms_, and trying
+to be _Barrack-master_; if I dont gain the _Trial_ I shall be glad to
+remain at the old _Crown_.
+
+This answer appeared to excite considerable sensation,
+
+The Twister General thought the meaning was,
+
+'if I do n't gain what I attempt to gain.'
+
+[The Short-hand writer was desired to read the answer, and the word
+_Trial_ was retained as the correct translation.]
+
+I {074}do not ask what you are to be hereafter, but whether you are
+_still_ head waiter at the Crown?
+
+The head waiter is dismissed occasionally.
+
+Are you married? More yes than no.
+
+Do you live with your own wife? No.
+
+Is she in this country? Yes.
+
+Why did you marry? To pay my debts.
+
+Then why did you part? Because my debts were paid.
+
+Were you not up to the eyes in debt? Si Signor.
+
+Are you not bound to manifest some gratitude towards those who have paid
+your debts?
+
+The Interpreter said the witness was a mere _fanfaron_, and that he
+found it difficult, if not impossible, to explain to the witness's
+understanding what was meant by _gratitude_.
+
+Cross Examination resumed.
+
+Did not you write to your wife a licentious letter, called a letter of
+license?--(_Order, order._)
+
+I ask you again the cause of your separation?
+
+She left me.
+
+On what account? I did not like her, and I told her I'd have nothing to
+do with _her_ any more.
+
+After that what did you do? Oh, I rambled about.
+
+Where did you go? To Jersey and elsewhere.
+
+Well, Sir, go on. Non mi ricordo.
+
+Do you mean to say that you never went to Manchester Square? More yes
+than no.
+
+Were you in the house on the footing of a private friend? No, not as a
+friend.
+
+You {075}mentioned your father just now:--you did not go in your
+father's _cart_, I presume; in what sort of carriage did you go? In
+the old yellow chariot.
+
+How long did it take you to travel from Manchester Square to Richmond?
+Non mi ricordo.
+
+How many other places did you go to? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Is the Marquis of C. a married man?
+
+(_Order. Order._)
+
+After you parted from your wife, on what terms did you live? I've been
+_trying_ to get rid of her.
+
+Do you know what Matthew says (c. v. v. 32.)?
+
+Matthew? Matthew? (_trying to recollect_)--what Matthew?--he's no
+friend of mine.
+
+In what light do you consider your oath at the marriage ceremony? A
+ceremony.
+
+If your marriage oath has not bound you, can you expect people to
+believe you if ever you should take a solemn public oath? More yes than
+no.
+
+By the Roman law, a divorce was granted for Drunkenness, Adultery, and
+_False Keys_: what is your opinion of that law?
+
+The Twister General said, that it was contrary to common sense to ask
+the witness's opinion about any _Law_.
+
+How many Wives does _your_ Church allow you? Non mi ricordo.
+
+How many have you had since you separated from your own? Non mi
+ricordo.
+
+Are you a Member of the Society for the Suppression of Vice? Yes (_with
+great energy_).
+
+The Cross-examining Counsel said that the Interpreter had materially
+altered the sense of the last question; {076}he had in fact asked, if
+the Witness was Member of the Society for the suppression of _Wives, (a
+loud laugh)_ which Witness had eagerly answered in the affirmative.
+
+The Witness's answer was expunged, and on the question being repeated
+correctly, he answered that he was told it was his duty to encourage the
+_Vice_ Society, because it professed to diminish the influence of bad
+example.
+
+Have they ever prosecuted you? Me!--(_with astonishment_)--they like
+_me_ too well!
+
+What do you mean then by Suppression--is your Soeiety to prevent little
+vice from being committed, or great vice from being found out?
+
+More Yes than No.
+
+It was here moved by Lord Le Cuisinier, that 4 o'Clock, the hour of
+dinner, was arrived.
+
+Another, in a maiden Speeeh, said, that during his long silence in that
+Court he had had leisure to observe, that 4 o'Clock in the _morning_ was
+a more usual hour of adjournment.
+
+Another considered that Lord Le Cuisinier's suggestion ought not to be
+entertained for a moment. We only exist in our formalities. If we suffer
+ourselves to be put a stop to by the motion, we may find that we are
+travelling round again into the obsolete usages of our early ancestors;
+which will be to describe a circle that must be generally considered
+as nothing less than a revolution! I therefore deprecate the least
+innovation, and move, as an amendment, that 4 o'Clock is _not_ arrived.
+
+The {077}Master General of the _Black_ Barracks at Exeter, rose without
+his wig, and declaring, upon the memory of his whiskers, that he had
+just heard it strike 4, he enquired whether the Clock was in _Order.
+(Loud and continued cries of hear hear.)_
+
+The Home DOCTOR felt his pulse alarmingly quicken one and a fraction in
+the minute, and nervously said, that the clock was clearly guilty of a
+barefaced libel and ought to be instantly held to bail for breach of the
+peace. The simultaneous action of all the Clocks throughout the nation
+and their open communication by circulars, was an index to the existence
+of an organized correspondence and a systematic affiliation. He trembled
+at the positive intelligence he had received, that millions at that
+moment held their hands in an attitude ready to strike; but it was the
+proudest day of his life that he had so far succeeded by a _circular_
+movement of his own, as to enable his workmen to hold them to the peace
+for an hour together.
+
+Lord Bathos assured the Black-Barrack Master-General that the Clock
+_was_ out of Order, and he congratulated the Home Doctor on his
+efficiency; but he thought they had not sunk low enough into the
+subject; for he had strong doubts whether the striking might not be
+construed into an overt act of High Treason, and if he saw any
+probability of being supported he should conclude with a substantive
+motion. Did not the Lord Precedent remember a Clock Case, in which,
+immediately after the chain had been locked up, a principal link
+suddenly disappeared? and whether, after the most minute inquiry, there
+was not every reason to believe from the best information that could be
+obtained at that time, {078}that that link had been _prigged? (Hear
+hear.)_ Take even the very last Clock Case, where the chain was kept
+together with the greatest pains, and the utmost care. If the smallest
+link in that chain had been _prigged_, it would have been fatal to the
+works, and yet in that very case, two days after the chain was locked
+up, a link was obtained, which, if sooner discovered, would have
+lengthened the chain to the necessary extent, and brought home in the
+most conclusive manner the guilt of the Clock. He therefore moved that
+the Clock be examined, and the chain kept in their own custody, with
+liberty to add to the number of links.
+
+Lord Ratstail with his usual animation seconded the Motion.
+
+Marquiz Boudoir moved as an Amendment, that the Clock being in contempt,
+the _Black stick_ be ordered to _walk him_ in to-morrow. Seconded.
+
+Upon this Amendment the following Amendment was moved and seconded, that
+the word 'to-morrow' be expunged, and the word 'yesterday' be inserted
+in its place. _Ordered._
+
+Cross Examination resumed.
+
+Does the Witness recollect whether he was at B--------? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Who usually closed the Pavilion? I did.
+
+Was it so close as to exclude any person outside from seeing what passed
+within, or was it partially open? It was quite closed--When I could not
+close it with C**** entirely, I did it with other pieces.
+
+What do you mean by saying with other pieces?
+
+I mean with other pieces of the same quality.
+
+Symptoms {079}of impatience were now expressed, with loud cries of
+_Withdraw, withdraw._
+
+Do you remember any thing particular occurring one night? No.
+
+Do you not recollect whether a new wing was added during the time you
+and your mistress were absent? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Do you know a certain Colonel Q.? Yes, he has _too_ little mustachios.
+
+Are you a sober man? More no than yes.
+
+How many bottles a day do you drink. Non mi ricordo.
+
+Do you drink six bottles? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Five bottles? Non mi ricordo.
+
+How many nights in the week do you go to bed sober? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Are you sober now? More no than yes.
+
+Where do you spend your mornings? AtbCuraçao.
+
+Where do you spend your evenings? At the _Cat and Fiddle._
+
+What is your favorite dish? Trifle.
+
+What is your favorite game? _Bag-at-L----_
+
+What is your favorite amusement? The C.
+
+After Dressing, Drinking, and Dreaming, what time remains for thinking?
+Non mi ricordo.
+
+I hold in my hand a list of immense sums of money that have been
+advanced to you, how much have you left? None.
+
+Well, but you have something to show for it? No.
+
+How do you live? I have a _doll_-shop, and a large stable in the
+country, and some _cow_-houses in different parts.
+
+Are {080}not your favourite friends _horn_-boys and flashmen?--_(Order, order.)_
+
+Can you produce a certificate of good character from those who _know_
+you? Yes, from the _minister._
+
+Pho! plio! do n't trifle; can you from any _respectable_ person?
+More no than yes.
+
+I understand you have the _scarlet_ fever, do you not know that it ends
+here in a _putrid_ fever? Non mi ricordo.
+
+You have many companions and advisers, but have you to your knowledge
+one _real_ friend in the world; and if not, why not? Non mi ricordo.
+
+By what acts of your life do you expect you will be remembered hereafter
+? I shall not answer you any more questions; you put questions to me I never dreamt of.
+
+Suppose every man in society were to do as you do, what would become
+of society; and what right have you to do so, more than any other man
+?--_(Witness greatly agitated?)_
+
+The Witness from the _Grillery_ asked whether the _Cross_ Examination
+was nearly concluded? _(Cries of Keep on!)_--Supposing that the
+business would close to day at 4 o'clock, he had made a private
+_assignation,_ although he was quite ready to _stop_ if necessary.
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore was in favour of adhering to a square
+rule; he had not entered the Court till five seconds past ten by his
+_stop_-watch, {081}in consequence of consulting with his Wife upon
+a motion-of-course which they had contemplated; and their further
+deliberation had been postponed until after the adjournment to-day. It
+was impossible to know what questions might turnout to be doubtful or
+doubtless; yet adjourning at Five o'Clock would gain a delay of six
+hours in the Week, and the _gaining of any thing_ he considered very
+material in the present case.
+
+An Adjournment then took place, the Witness remaining on
+
+THE GRILLERY.

+
+
+CONSPIRACY.
+
+WHEREAS {082}a most abominable GANG, have caused to be published and
+promulgated throughout the Nation a description of the infirmities and
+necessities of our nature, of which decorum forbids the mention; and
+also gross and inflaming allusions to the intercourse between the sexes,
+and wanton and shocking exposures relating thereto; to the destruction
+of youthful innocence, to the shame and disgust of matron modesty, and
+to the horror of all heads of families: it is therefore proposed to
+call an immediate MEETING, for the purpose of considering the best
+mode of preventing an increase of this dreadful contamination, and of
+securing the ringleaders of the Conspiracy, and bringing them to condign
+punishment.
+
+NEW VICTUALLING OFFICE.
+
+TO CONTRACTORS.--Persons willing to supply this Establishment with
+CAST-IRON REPEATERS, having duplex Movements, according to the Working
+Models now in use as above, may send in Sealed Tenders, stating the
+number they can instantly supply for immediate use, and the price
+thereof at per hundred.
+
+TO NACKERMEN.
+
+THE old Hackney, Liverpool, who lately lost his paces, is _glandered,_
+gone blind, got cruel vicious, tried to kick his mistress's brains
+out, shattered himself to nothing, and is expected to go down with the
+staggers. Any body who thinks it worth while to send a _drag_ to the
+Stable yard may have him for fetching.
+
+TO MANGLERS--JUST LEAVING HIS PLACE.
+
+A STOUT ABLE-BODIED IRISHMAN, for a long time a master hand at mangling;
+when he begins there is no stopping him, and never tires. Can fold
+and smooth, and double and iron, all day. Will turn with any body. Was
+formerly a master in Dublin, where his mangling will never be forgotten.
+His Character may be had of any body there. Is very smooth spoken, of
+good address, looks like an upper Valet, and is a perfect devil at his
+Work. May be heard of at the Triangle in the Bird-cage Walk.
+
+TO LAUNDRESSES, WANTS A PLACE.
+
+AN old Woman accustomed to coarse things; and work, however filthy,
+never comes amiss. Where she is now they find her in _ruin_, and she
+finds dishclouts; but is leaving, being almost poisoned by printers'
+ink. To save trouble, will have nothing to do with cleaning the House.
+Is used to ironing, and putting by, in any quantities, and never tires
+at hanging up. Can have an undeniable Character from the Rev. Mr. Hay,
+and the Recorder of London.
+
+STRAYED AND MISSING.
+
+IN {083}Infirm Elderly Gentleman in a Public Office, lately left his
+home, just after dreadfully ill-using his wife about half a Crown, and
+trying to beat her. He had long complained a great deal of his forehead,
+and lately had a leech put upon him. He was last seen walking swiftly
+towards the Horns without a Crown to his hat, accompanied by some
+evil disposed persons, who tied a great green bag to his tail full of
+crackers, which he mistook for sweetmeats, and burnt himself dreadfully.
+Every person he met in this deplorable condition tried to persuade him
+to go back, but in vain. He is very deaf and very obstinate, and cannot
+bear to be looked at or spoken to. It is supposed that he has been
+seduced and carried off by some artful female. He may be easily known by
+his manners. He fancies himself the politest man in Europe, because he
+knows how to bow, and to offer a pinch of snuff; and thinks himself the
+greatest man in Europe, because people have humoured him and let him
+have his own way. He is so fond of tailoring, that he lately began a
+suit that will take him his life to complete. He delights in playing at
+soldiers, supposes himself a cavalry officer, and makes speeches, that
+others write for him, in a field marshal's uniform. Sometimes he fancies
+himself 'Glorious Apollo,' plays;Hailstones of Brunswick' on the base
+fiddle, and qualifies his frieuds to perform 'Cuckolds all on a row.'
+His concerns are very much deranged. Not long ago he imported a vast
+quantity of Italian images at enormous prices, upon credit, and hoarded
+them up in a waterside cotton warehouse. Since then, things have gone
+all against him, and he has been in a very desponding state. It is of
+the utmost consequence to himself that he should be at his post, or he
+may lose his place; one of his predecessors some time ago having
+been cashiered for his misconduct. If this should meet his eye, it is
+earnestly requested that he will return to his duty, and he will be
+kindly received and no questions asked.
+
+N. B. He has not a friend in the world except the advertiser and a few
+others, who never had an opportunity of speaking to him and letting him
+know the real state of his affairs.
+
+PUBLIC OFFICE, LUDGATE HILL.
+
+1st September, 1820. "WHEREAS {084}that well known old established
+Public House, (formerly a _free_ house) called the Political House that Jack built, has been
+feloniously entered into and damaged, and the property therein carried
+off to a large amount, by a numerous gang of desperate Villains, who,
+by various vile arts and contrivances, have not only kept possession
+thereof, but also of the Head Waiter, who was intrusted by Mr. Bull,
+the owner, with the management of the concern, and was a very promising
+young man when Mr. Bull first knew him, and might have done very well
+if he had followed the advice of his old friends, and not suffered these
+desperadoes to get him into their clutches; since when he seems to have
+forgotten himself, and by neglecting his duty sadly, and behaving ill to
+the customers who support the House, has almost ruined the Business,
+and has also dreadfully injured the Sign, which Mr. Bull had had fresh
+painted after he dismissed a former waiter for his bad manners. Whoever
+will assist Mr. Bull in bringing the offenders to Justice, will be doing
+a great service to the young man, and he will still be retained in his
+situation, unless he has actually destroyed or made away with the Sign,
+which Mr. Bull very much admires, it being a _heir-loom_. If offered to
+be pawned or sold it is requested the parties may be stopped, and notice
+given as above. As the young man has not been seen for some time, there
+is no doubt the ruffians have either done him a serious mischief, or
+secreted him somewhere to prevent Mr. Bull, who is really his friend,
+from speaking to him.

+alive O! Walk up I--now's your time!--only a shilling. Please to
+walk up!
+
+Here is the strangest and most wonderful artificial Cabinet in
+Europe!--made of nothing--but lacker'd brass, turnery, and papier
+mâche--all fret work and varnish, held together by steel points!--very
+crazy, but very curious!
+
+Please to walk in, Ladies and Gentlemen--it's well worth seeing! here
+are the most wonderful of all wonderful Living Animals. 'Jake care!
+Don't go within their reach-they mind nobody but me! A short time ago
+they got loose, and, with some other vermin that came from their holes
+and corners, desperately attacked a Lady of Quality; but, as luck would
+have it, I, and my (four and twenty men,' happened to come in at the
+very moment;--we 'pull'd' away, and prevented'em from doing her a
+serious mischief. Though they look tame, their vicious dispositions
+are unchanged. If any thing was to happen to me, they'd soon break out
+again, and shew their natural ferocity, i'm in continual danger from'em
+myself--for if I didn't watch'em closely they'd destroy me. As the clown
+says, 'there never was such times,'--so there's no telling what tricks
+they may play yet.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,--these animals have been exhibited at Court,
+before the King, and all the Royal Family! Indeed His Majesty is so
+fond of'em that he often sees'em in private, and feeds'em; and he is
+so diverted by'em that he has been pleased to express his gracious
+approbation of all their motions. But they're as cunning as the old one
+himself! Bless you, he does not know a thousandth part of their tricks.
+You, Ladies and Gentlemen, may see'em just as they are!--the Beasts and
+Reptiles--all alive! alive O! and the Big Boo by--all a-light! a-light
+O!
+
+Walk in, Ladies and Gentlemen! walk in! just a-going to
+begin.--Stir'em up! Stir'em up there with the long pole!

+Before I describe the Animals, please to look at the Show-Cloth

+A CROCODILE.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+I begin the Exhibition with the Crocodile, which is of the Lizard tribe
+; yet, from his _facility of creeping through narrow and intricate
+ways,_ he has been classed among Serpents. * He has a monstrous
+appetite, his _swallow_ is immense, and his legs are placed _side_-ways.
+It is a vulgar error to suppose that he cannot _turn_; for, although
+he is in appearance very heavy, and his back is very strong, and proof
+against the hardest blows, yet he is so _pliable_, that he can _wheel_
+round with the utmost facility. When in his haunt, and apparently
+torpid, he sometimes utters a piteous _whine_ of distress--almost human;
+_sheds tears_, and, attracting the unwary, suddenly darts upon a man,
+and gorges him with all he has. His _claws_ are very long and tenacious.
+If a victim eludes his grasp, he infallibly secures him by his fleet
+power. He is sometimes used for purposes of _state and show_, and his
+bags are much coveted for their _peculiar_ qualities. **

+
+THE LOCUST.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The Locust is a destructive insect, of the Grillus tribe. They are
+so numerous, and so rapacious, that they may be compared to an army,
+pursuing its march to devour the fruits of the earth, as an instrument
+of _divine displeasure_ towards a devoted country. They have leaders,
+who direct their motions in preying on the labours of man _in fertile
+regions_. No insect is more formidable in places where they breed: for
+they _wither_ whatever they _touch_. It is impossible to recount the
+_terrible devastations_ which historians and travellers relate that they
+have committed at different times, in various parts of the world. Many
+are so _venomous_, that persons _handling_ them are immediately stung,
+and seized with shivering and trembling; but it has been discovered
+that, in most cases, their hateful qualities are completely assuaged by
+_palm_ oil.*
+
+* Goldsmith, vi. 21.

+
+[Illustration: 104]
+
+A SCORPION.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The Scorpion is a reptile that resembles the _common lobster_, but is
+much more hideous. They are very terrible to mankind, on account of
+their size and malignity, and their large _crooked stings_. They often
+assault and kill people in their houses. In Italy, and some other parts
+of Europe, they are the greatest pests of mankind; but their venom is
+most dreadful in the _East_. An inferior species sally forth at certain
+seasons, in battalions;--scale houses that stand in the way of their
+march;--wind along the course of rivers;--and on their retreat entrench
+themselves. Scorpions are so irascible, that they will attempt to sting
+a _constable's staff_; yet even a harmless little mouse * destroyed
+three of them, _one after the other_, by acting on the _defensive_,
+survived their venomous wounds, and seemed pleased with its victory.
+When in a confined space, they exert all their rage against each other,
+and there is nothing to be seen but universal carnage. If this mutual
+destruction did not prevail, they would multiply so fast as to render
+some countries uninhabitable. **

+ THE LOBSTER.
+
+      ----they preferre
+     Broiles before Rest, and place their Peace in Warre.
+
+                             Du Bartas
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The Lobster is very similar to the scorpion. It is _armed_ with _two_
+great _claws_, by the help of which it moves itself _forwards_. They
+_entrench_ themselves in places that can be easily defended, where they
+acquire defensive and offensive _armour_. They issue forth from their
+_fortresses_ in hope of _plunder_, and to surprise such inadvertent and
+weak animals as come within their reach. They have little to apprehend
+except from each other, the more powerful being formidable enemies to
+the weaker. They sometimes continue in the same habitations for a long
+time together; in general they get _new coats once a year_. When in
+_hot water_ they make a great noise, attack any one that puts a hand
+towards them, and knowing their danger, use violent efforts to escape.
+In a sufficient heat they _change their colours_.*

+
+THE OPOSSUM.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+This is a _quick climbing_ animal; but is, in other respects, _heavy_
+and helpless. When it is pursued on _level ground_ and overtaken, it
+feigns itself dead, to deceive the hunters. A faculty in its _seat_,
+enables it to suspend itself from a high branch, by that part, for a
+long time together; and, in this position, watching for whatever is weak
+that comes within its reach, it falls upon it and usually destroys it.
+By this elevating power in its _nether end_, it not only seizes its prey
+more securely, but preserves itself from pursuers: looking down on them,
+in a sort of _upright_ position, heels upwards. It is very domesticated,
+but proves a disagreeable inmate, from its _scent_; which, however
+fragrant in _small_ quantities, is uniformly ungrateful when _copiously_
+supplied. _It is a boroughing creature_. *

+In other countries, they make laws upon laws and add precepts upon
+precepts, till the endless number of them makes the fundamental part
+to be forgotten; leaving nothing but a confused heap of explanations,
+which may cause ignorant people to doubt whether there is really any
+thin» meant by the laws or not.--Berkeley's Gaudentio di Lucca, 166.
+
+In the country of the Furr'd Law-cats, they gripe all, devour all,
+cooskite all, burn all, draw all, hang all, quarter all, behead all,
+murder all, imprison all, waste all, and ruin all, without the least
+notice of right or wrong: for among them vice is called virtue;
+wickedness, piety; treason, loyalty; robbery, justice: Plunder is
+their motto; and all this they do, because they dare. Gripe-men-all,
+the Chief of the Purr'd Law-cats, said to Pantagruel 'Our Laws are
+like cobwebs; your silly little flies are stopt, caught, and destroy'd
+therein, but your stronger ones Break them, and force and carry them
+which way they please. Don't think we are so mad as to set up our nets
+tc snap up your great Robbers aod tyrants: no, they are somewhat too
+hard for us, there's no meddllng with them; for they will make no more
+of us, than we make of the little ones.'-- Rabelais, b. v. c. xi. xii.

+
+BLACK RATS.--(Stuffed.)
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+These are most pernicious animals. They borough, and prey on our food,
+drink, clothing, furniture, live-stock, and every convenience of life;
+furnishing their residences with the plunder of our property. They have
+particular haunts, to which they entice each other in large numbers,
+for the sake of _prey_; where they often do incredible damage to our
+_mounds_, and undermine the strongest _embankments_. Sometimes they
+hoard their plunder in _nests_, that they make at a distance from their
+usual _places of congregating. * They are very bold and fierce. Instead
+of waiting for an attack, they usually become the aggressors, and,
+_seizing their adversaries by the lips_, inflict dangerous, and even
+deadly wounds. While they subsist on our industry, and increase our
+terrors, they make no grateful returns, and, therefore, mankind have
+studied various ways for diminishing their numbers; but their _cunning_
+discovers the most distant danger, and if any are disturbed or attacked,
+in an unusual manner, the rest take the alarm, and, becoming exceedingly
+shy, and wary, elude the most ingenious devices of their pursuers. When,
+unhappily, you come in contact with one of these _vermin_, the best way
+of dispatching it is by a single squeeze; but novices who hesitate,
+are sure to prove sufferers. They have been found on a bench, so
+_interwoven_ by their tails, that _by reason of their entanglement, they
+could not part. ** A dead rat, _by altering the look of his head and
+the appearance of his skin_, may be transformed into the appearance of
+a much more _powerful_ animal; and this, Ladies and Gentlemen, _has been
+considered a master piece in cheating._***

+A CADGE ANCHOR.--(a Remora--a sucking Fish.)
+
+What have we here? a man or a fish? A Fish: he _smells_ like a fish
+; a very _ancient_ and fish-like smell; a kind of, not of the newest,
+Poor John. Were I in England now (as once I was) and had but this fish
+painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of silver:
+_there_ would this monster make a man; any _strange beast_ there makes
+a man. His gabbling voice is to utter foul speeches, and to detract. He
+is as disproportioned in his manners, as in his shape. As with age his
+body grows uglier, his mind cankers.

+A WATER SCORPION.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+This offensive insect lives in _stagnant_ waters, continually watching
+for prey. Its feelers resemble the claws of a scorpion; the eyes are
+_hard and prominent_, the shoulders _broad and flat_. It wastes twenty
+times as much as its appetite requires; one can destroy thirty or
+forty of the libellula kind, each as large as itself. It is nevertheless
+greatly overrun with a small kind of lice, which probably repay the
+injuries it inflicts elsewhere. At certain seasons it flies to _distant
+waters_ in search of food; but it remains where it was produced until
+fully grown, when it sallies forth in search of a companion of the
+other sex, and soon begets an useless generation.*

+THE BLOODHOUND.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+This is the most terrible animal in the Collection. Its character is
+that of decided _enmity to man_; it hunts down those who endeavor to
+regain their _Liberty_, and is called the _Ban_ Dog. When it scents a
+human victim it follows his track with cruel perseverance, flies upon
+him with dreadful ferocity, and, unless dragged off, tears and rends
+the form until every noble feature of humanity is destroyed. It has an
+exquisite smell for blood. The species vary little throughout the world
+: there is scarcely any difference between the trans-atlantic _Spanish_
+blood-hound and the _Irish_ wolf-dog, whose ferocity has been much
+diminished by the animal being frequently _crossed_. It is still kept on
+some of the old _royal grounds_.

+
+THE BOOBY.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The _Creature_ you now see is a sort of _Noddy_ of the Gull kind.
+Observe his uncouth form and his ludicrously wise looks! He is the most
+stupid of the _feathered_ tribe; yet he has a _voracious_ appetite, and
+an enormous swallow. You perceive that he feigns the appearance of being
+_upright_, of seeming to comprehend objects he sees, of listening to
+what he hears, and that he shakes his head with _gravity_, as though
+he had a certain degree of understanding. His greatest pleasure is in
+_standing still._ He has not sense enough to _get out of People's way_
+; speaking to him or making _motions_ never disturb him. There is no
+compelling him to the fatigue of _changing_ his position till he feels
+a _blow_; for he keeps his place till he is approached quite close, and
+_knocked down_. He is a living _full stop_. When he is _forced to
+walk_, which is very seldom, he goes from _side to side_. Like others of
+similar tribes, he boroughs. In this respect the union and affection of
+these _Creatures_ towards each other is wonderful; for, when undisturbed
+by the encroachments of _men_, they construct their _nests_ as
+convenient as if they expected them to be _permanent_; arranging
+their different places with such an amazing degree of uniformity, as to
+resemble a _regular plantation_. Sometimes they draw up side by side,
+in rank and file, and sit brooding together as if in deep counsel,
+on affairs of moment--their _silliness_ and _solemnity_ exciting
+involuntary _laughter!_ This _burlesque_ takes place, in particular,
+about
+
+{108}the month of _November_. The habits of these tribes are known
+through those who visit the haunts they have forsaken for more obscure
+_retreats_, where they can _build aloft_, and settle in their _nests_ at
+ease: a practice which confirms the remark of a great naturalist, that
+the presence of _men_ not only destroys the society of the _meaner_
+animals, but even extinguishes their _grovelling_ instincts. Hitherto
+the Booby has been considered of no service whatever; yet a similar
+species, * by drawing a wick through the body and lighting it, is made
+into a _candle_S. ** If this Booby could be thus used, the _illumination
+of_ both Houses and the public offices might be speedily effected, and
+the tribe he belongs to be rendered available to human purposes. At
+any rate a skilful tallow-chandler might try his hand at converting the
+_Creature_ into A TWOPENNY FLAT

+THE SLOP PAIL.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The "Slop Pail" being occupied by "Slop" keeping his _tri-colored_,
+cockade in it, with the hope of bleaching it _white_, has become more
+and more offensive daily, and will be kicked down.
+
+The {110}GREAT BOOTS having been _out of order_, were _welted_, and
+afterwards new _vamped, and polished._ Dr. Southey, _the Varnisher_, has
+them in hand at present, and is '_doing them up_' as fast as possible.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+I thank you for your company. Opposite to you is a description of
+The Monster that my people are now _hunting_ on the Continent. When
+_destroyed_, its skin will be stuffed and preserved among the other
+Antiquities and Curiosities in the _European Museum_.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish you _a good day.-- Keep_ to the right.
+Walk steadily forward. The _Animals_ may make an _uproar_, but don't be
+alarmed; I'll see you safe out. Remember they are _under my control_,
+and cannot take a step beyond the reach of MY EYE
+

+
+THE BOA DESOLATOR, OR LEGITIMATE VAMPIRE.
+
+It overlays the continent like an ugly Incubus, sucking the blood and
+stopping up the breath of man's life. It claims Mankind as its property,
+and allows human nature to exist only upon sufferance; it haunts the
+understanding like a frightful spectre, and oppresses the very air
+witha weight that is not to be borne. Hazlitt's Political Essays and
+Characters, p. 21.
+
+This hideous Beast, not having at any time put forth all his _members_,
+cannot be accurately described. Every _dark_ Century has added to his
+frightful bulk. More disgusting than the filthiest reptile, his strength
+exceeds all other _brute force_.
+
+His enormous, bloated, toad-like body is _ferruginous: * the under
+surface appears of _polished steel_. His cavern-like mouth is always
+open to devour; his teeth are as _swords_, and his jaw-teeth as
+knives'--as millions of _bristling bayonets_ intermingled with _black
+fangs_ containing mortal venom. His roar is a voice from the sepulchre.
+He is marked 'in form of a cross_, ** with a series of _chains_,
+intersected by the triangle, *** and glittering colours, variegated with
+_red_.
+
+His aspect is cruel and terrible. He loves the _dark_, but never sleeps.
+Wherever he makes his lair, nature sickens, and man is brutified. His
+presence is 'plague, pestilence, and famine, battle, and murder, and
+sudden death.' His bite rapidly _undermines the strongest_ Constitution,
+and dissolves the whole into an entire mass of Corruption. He has no
+_brain_, but the _walls_ of the skull emit a _tinkling_ sound, that
+attracts his victims, and lulls them into _passive obedience_. In this
+state he clutches them in his coils, and _screws and squeezes_ them to
+destruction--_slavering_ them over, and sucking in their _substance_
+at leisure. It is difficult to witness the half-stifled cries of his
+harmless prey, or to behold its anxiety and trepidation, while the
+monster writhes hideously around it, without imagining _what our own
+case would be in the same dreadful situation._ *****

+
+His rapacity is increased by _indulgence_. He grinds, cranches, and
+devours whole multitudes, without being satisfied. His blood is cold.
+His ravening maw does not digest: it is an ever-yawning grave that
+_engulphs_--a 'bottomless pit' continually crying '_give, give!_'
+Sometimes he rests {112}from his labors,' to admire his loathsome
+_limbs_, and _slime_ them over. He has no affections: yet he appears
+charmed by the _hum_ of the insects that follow him, and pleased by the
+_tickling crawl_ of the meanest reptiles-permitting them to hang upon
+his lips, and partake of his leavings. But his real pleasure is in
+listening to the cries of his captives, the wail of the broken hearted,
+and the groans of the dying.
+
+He lives in defiance and scorn of Providence, and in hatred to the
+happiness of man. When distended with human carnage, and wet with the
+gore of the innocent and the helpless, he lifts an impious _form_ to
+heaven in solemn mockery. He was predicted of by the Seer of old, as the
+Beast with many heads and crowns, bearing the name of Blasphemy.
+
+The garish _colours_ that denote his malignity, excite only horror and
+detestation in the lover of nature, and of his species. They are most
+_lively_ when he is engaged in the work of death, and cause him to be
+admired by the vulgar multitude, learned and unlearned, who hold him
+_sacred_, pay him _divine honors_, call him _holy_, and fall down before
+him as an object-of worship, while priests glorify him, and minister to
+him, and pray for his murderous successes in the temples. Hence-the good
+and the wise, in all ages, have devised and practised various methods
+for the destruction of a Fiend that creates nothing but _terror and
+imposture_, and between whom and rational man there is a natural
+antipathy.
+

+His existence is drawing to a close. It has been ascertained that the
+way of putting him _quietly_ out of the world is by a consisting of the
+_four and twenty letters_ * of the alphabet, properly _composed_, made
+up in certain _forms_, covered with sheets of white _paper_. and well
+_worked_ in a _Columbian_ Press. These Papers are to be _forced down his
+throat_ {113}daily, _morning and evening_, and on every _seventh_ day
+a _double_ dose should be administered. The operation is accelerated
+by the powerful _exhibition_ of the Wood Draughts. In a short time his
+teeth will fall out--he will be seized with catalepsy--in the last stage
+of mortification, _he will_ sting himself _to death_;--and all mankind,
+relieved from the deadened atmosphere under which they had been
+_gasping_, will make the first use of their _recovered breath_, to raise
+an universal shout of joy at the extinction of THE LEGITIMATE VAMPIRE.

+THE MAN IN THE MOON,
+
+A SPEECH FROM THE THRONE, TO THE SENATE OF LUNATARIA
+
+[Illustration: 128]
+
+INTRODUCTION.
+
+    I lately dream'd that, in a huge balloon,
+    All silk and gold, I journey'd to the Moon,
+    Where the same objects seem'd to meet my eyes
+    That I had lately left below the skies;
+
+{121}
+
+     And judge of my astonishment, on seeing
+     All things exactly, to a hair, agreeing:
+     The mountains, rivers, cities, trees, and towers,
+     On Cynthia's silver surface, seem'd like ours;
+     Men, women, children, language, dress, and faces,
+     Lords, Commons, Lackies, Pensioners, and Places,
+     Whigs, Tories, Lawyers, Priests, and men of blood,
+     And even _Radicals_--by all that's good!
+
+     In a long street, just such as London's Strand is,
+     'Midst Belles and Beggars, Pickpockets and Dandies,
+     Onward I went, between a brazen horse,
+     And a large Inn which bore a Golden Cross,
+     Then through a passage, narrow, long and dark,
+     That brought my footsteps to a spacious park.
+
+     It chanc'd that morning that the Sovereign Dey,
+     The Prince of Lunataria pass'd that way--
+     Gods! what a sight! what countless crouds were there,
+     What yells, and groans, and hootings, rent the air!
+     By which, I learn'd, the Lunatarian nation
+     Are wont to testify their admiration;
+     We don't do so on earth--but that's no matter--
+     The Dey went onward, midst a hideous clatter
+     To meet the Senators; for'twas appointed,
+     That, on that morning, He--the Lord's anointed--
+     Should make a grand Oration from the throne,
+     That his most royal pleasure might be known.
+
+{122}
+
+     Respecting certain great affairs of State:--
+     I heard the speech; Oh! could the muse relate
+     The "_elegance_ the sweet "_distinctiveness_"
+     With which his Royal Deyship did address
+     That reverend body of Moonarian sages,
+     I'd write a book that should endure for ages.
+
+     Alas! such heights are not for me to reach;
+     I'll therefore, from my note-book, take the Speech,
+     And you must say, as'tis by Pope exprest,
+     "Give all thou canst, and _we_ will dream the rest!"

+THE SPEECH.
+
+     MY L--rds and G--tl--n,
+     I grieve to say,
+     That poor old Dad,
+     Is just as--bad,
+     As when I met you here
+     the other day.
+
+{124}
+
+     'Tis pity that these cursed State Affairs
+     Should take you from your pheasants and your hares
+     Just now:
+
+                    But lo!
+
+     Conspiracy and Treason are abroad!
+
+     Those imps of darkness, gender'd in the wombs
+     Of spinning-jennies, winding-wheels, and looms,
+
+     In Lunashire--
+
+                  Oh, Lord!
+
+     My L--ds and G--tl--n, we've much to fear!
+
+     Reform, Reform, the swinish rabble cry--
+     Meaning, of course, rebellion, blood, and riot--
+     Audacious rascals! you, my Lords, and I,
+     Know 'tis their duty to be starved in quiet:
+     But they have grumbling habits, incompatible
+     With the repose of _our_ august community--
+     They see that good things are with us come-at-ible,
+     And therefore slyly watch their opportunity
+     To get a share;
+
+                  Yes, they declare
+     That we are not God's favorites alone--
+     That _they_ have rights to food, and clothes, and air,
+     As well as you, the Brilliants of a throne!
+     Oh! indications foul of revolution--
+     The villains would destroy the Constitution!
+
+{125}
+
+     I've given orders for a lot of Letters,
+     From these seditious, scribbling, scoundrels' betters
+     N--d--n and N--rr--s, F--ch--r, W--t and H--y
+     'To _lie_, for your instruction,'
+
+     Upon the table;
+
+     From which said premises you'll soon be able
+                  To make a fair deduction,
+
+     That some decisive measures must be taken,
+     Without delay,
+
+            To quell the _Radicals_,
+
+     and save our bacon.
+
+     And now, my faithful C--m--ns,
+     You must find
+
+                   The means to raise the wind:
+
+     For Derry Down, and Sid, have thought it wise,
+     To have--_besides the Spies_--
+     A few more Cut-throats, to protect the rhino
+     Of loyal people,--such as you and I know.
+
+     Van's estimates will come before you straight;
+     And, I foresee
+     That your opinions will with mine agree,
+
+                  No lighter weight
+            Can well be placed on

+                 a very willing hack.
+
+        The revenue has fluctuated
+                 slightly--
+
+              See the _Courier_--
+
+     But it's been found to be
+
+                  improving nightly--
+
+     For two weeks past,--
+
+                  therefore we've nought to fear.
+
+       Some branches of our trade
+                are still deprest,
+
+     And those dependant on them
+                wanting food,
+
+{127}
+
+     _But that's a sort of
+
+                   temporary evil_--
+
+     'Twill wear away:
+
+                 perhaps'tis for the best
+     At all events,'twill do no good
+     To let the starving wretches be uncivil.
+
+     Five years ago, you know, our sad condition
+     Was partly owing to
+
+                  '_the quick transition
+     From war to peace_'--then,
+
+                  we had '_scanty crops_'--
+     Then, something else--and now--
+     our weavers' shops
+     Are full of _Radicals_,
+
+                 and _Flags_, and _Caps_;

+
+TO
+
+THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE MEMBERS OF THE HOLY ALLIANCE.
+
+May it please your Holinesses,
+
+When a gang of desperate ruffians disguise themselves, and take the road
+armed, it is a sure sign of robbery and murder; and it becomes the duty
+of an honest man to raise a _hue and cry_, and describe the villains.
+
+With that view, I dedicate to you this little book; in the hope, that
+some who understand the _dead_ lan-guage of Despotism, may be induced
+to translate it into the _living_ tongues of the good people of the
+Continent.
+
+I pray God to take your Royalty into his immediate keeping.
+
+{136}
+
+      O! Dulness, if thy sons can learn one thing,
+      Teach but that one, sufficient for a King;
+
+       That which _thy_ Priests, and _thine_ alone, maintain,
+       Which, as It dies, or lives, They fall, or reign:
+
+      May ye, O Cam and Isis, preach it long,
+     'The Right Divine of Kings to govern wrong!'
+
+                                           Pope.
+
+It was a maxim of the Constitution of this country that the King could
+do no wrong. He had high authority for stating that _the King could not
+commit Folly, much less Crime._ --Report of a Bishop's Speech.
+
+If a King can do no wrong, why was King James II. banished? and if a
+King can do wrong, why the plague are we constantly affirming that he
+cannot? Either way we should stand self-condemned, and if we are not
+set down as a nation of scoundrels, we must think ourselves pretty easy
+under the appellation of fools.--Swift,
+
+     ----------We love
+     The King, who loves the law, respects his bounds,
+     And reigns content within them: him we serve
+     Freely and with delight, who leaves us free:
+     But recollecting still that he is man,
+     We trust him not too far. King though he be,
+     And King in England too, he may be weak.
+
+     And vain enough to be ambitious still;
+     May exercise amiss his proper pow'rs,
+     Or covet more than freemen choose to grant:
+     Beyond that mark is TREASON.

+PREFACE.
+
+       "Perish those poets, and be hush'd the song,
+        Which with this _nonsense_ charm'd the world so long,
+        That he who does no right, can do no wrong."
+
+                                         De Foe.
+
+To condemn _nonsense_, especially in high places, is proper: there are
+ancient precedents for it.
+
+A thousand years before Christ, Nathan, a priest in the house of the
+Lord at Jerusalem, knew that David the Lord's anointed, had not only
+worked _folly_ in Israel, by committing adultery with a beautiful woman,
+but had committed _crime_, by causing her husband to be put to death.
+The honest priest charged both the folly and the crime upon the king!
+He went up to his majesty with this Address: "_Thou art the man!_"
+He prosecuted him at the bar of his own conscience, convicted him,
+and passed sentence upon him--"_The sword shall not depart from thine
+house!_"
+
+Three thousand years after this, a priest, sent into an English House of
+Lords by the nomination of the king, affirms there, that "he had 'high
+authority' for stating, that the king could not commit _folly_. much
+less _crime!"_ right? {138}If he does say this, I ask him, how
+long, after oppression should be exercised through the prerogative by
+virtually irresponsible ministers and be declared no wrong, he supposes
+that a king of England could sit on the throne, or the bishops who
+maintain the doctrine, sit either at its right hand in the Lords, or any
+where else? I tell this bishop, that though the law may not suppose it
+possible for a king of England to do wrong, because it intends him to
+do right, yet if he _should_ do, and _continue_ to do, oppressive
+wrong, not all the bishops of England, nor all the bayonets of all
+the mercenaries of Europe, could keep that king upon the throne of an
+oppressed people against their united will.
+
+A king of England is not king in his own right, or by hereditary right.
+The nation is not a patrimony. He is not king by his own power; but in
+right of, and by the power of the law. He is not king above the law;
+but by, or under, the law. All the authority that he has, is given to
+him by law; and he can only rule _according_ to law: for were he to
+rule _against_ the law, he would be _king_ against the law, and depose
+himself. The law is the Sovereign, or paramount authority; hence,
+a king of England is a subject; and in this respect, he and all the
+people are upon a level before the law--they are all his fellow-subjects
+; though, as chief magistrate, he is the _first_ subject of the law.
+
+A king of England who regards the happiness of the people, and his own
+safety, would not wish to be stronger {139}than the law founded on the
+public will, makes him. More strength would be unnecessary to _his_
+welfare, and hurtful to theirs. All power _over others_, from the
+watch-box to the throne, tends to injure the understanding, and corrupt
+the heart. A good King would not desire unlimited power; a bad one
+would abuse it. He would become mad; and drive the people mad. A despot
+is a demon. Artillery and fetters with the royal robe flung over
+them--a cannon ball capped with the royal crown--animated by the royal
+will--crushing, burning, and butchering liberty, property, and human
+life--personify the power of an unlimited King.
+
+The ensuing satire shows the folly and danger of such power. It is a
+partial revival of the _Jure Divino_, written by Daniel De Foe in 1706.
+After the lapse of a century, nearly the same reason exists for the
+publication as the author adduced on its first appearance. It had never
+appeared, he says, "had not the world seemed to be going mad a second
+time with the error of passive obedience and non-resistance." It is not
+precisely so now: the _people_ have not gone mad, but a _bishop_ has,
+who may bite his brethren; and there is a slavish party of High Church
+zealots and pulpit casuists in the country who virtually support the
+doctrine--although if they attempt reducing it to practice, they may
+dig a pit beneath the throne, and engulph the dynasty. To expose this
+destructive doctrine, and disentangle the threads so artfully twisted
+into snares for the unwary by {140}priestcraft, De Foe composed his
+Satire. He was the ablest politician of his day, an energetic writer,
+and, better than all, an honest man; but not much of a poet. The _Jure
+Divino_ is defective in arrangement and versification. It is likewise
+disfigured by injudicious repetition; a large portion is devoted to the
+politics of the time, and it is otherwise unfit for republication entire
+; but it abounds with energetic thoughts, forcible touches, and happy
+illustrations. The present is an attempt to separate the gold from the
+dross. The selection is carefully made; from the parts rejected the
+best passages are preserved, the rhyme and metre are somewhat bettered,
+the extracts are improved and transposed, and many additions of my own
+are introduced. The production scornfully rejects the slavish folly,
+senseless jargon, and venal hypocrisy, which pretend that power is from
+God and not from the People. It defies those who draw upon scripture in
+support of _Divine Right_ to show that scripture lays down any rules of
+_political_ government, or enjoins any _political_ duties; or that
+it does not leave the people to determine by their own reason what
+government and what governors are best for themselves. It is a forcible
+and argumentative satire against the _nonsense_ from hole-and-corner
+and lawn-sleeve men; and presents a series of peculiarly strong and
+quotable lines, to engraft on the common sense of the free-minded,
+honest, and open-hearted of my countrymen. If it aids them in the
+occasional illustration and emphatic expression of {141}their opinions,
+the pains I have taken will be rewarded.
+
+There is another reason for publishing this satire, besides the revival
+of Priestcraft. Its twinbrother is alive. Kingcraft rears up its
+terrific mass, muffled in the mantle of Legitimacy; its head cowled
+and crowned, aud dripping with the holy oil of Divine Right; its eyes
+glaring deadly hate to human happiness; its lips demanding worship for
+itself. Denouncing dreadful curses against the free, and yelling forth
+threatenings and slaughter, it stamps with its hoof, and coils together
+its frightful force to fall on young Liberty and squelch it. Its red
+right-arm is bared for the butchery of the brave who love Freedom and
+dare contend for it. It has prepared its chains and dug its dungeons,
+erected its scaffolds, aud sharpened its axes for the wise and
+excellent of the earth; and its bloody banners are unfurled in insolent
+anticipation of unholy triumph!--
+
+        ------Still monarchs dream
+        Of universal empire growing up
+        From universal ruin! Blast the design,
+         Great God of Hosts, nor let thy creatures fall,
+         Unpitied victims at ambition's shrine!
+
+So prayed the Bishop of London, (Porteus--not Howley) and so fervently
+prays,
+
+The Author Of The Political House That Jack Built.
+
+{142}
+
+
+THE SPIRIT OF DESPOTISM.
+
+The above Rare and Extraordinary Book was privately printed in 1795,
+without the name of either printer or bookseller, and so effectually
+suppressed, that there are only two copies of it besides my own in
+existence.
+
+Its real value consists in exhibiting an entire and luminous view of the
+causes and consequences of Despotic Power. Its enthusiastic and glowing
+love of Liberty is unexcelled by any work written since; and for
+clearness, richness, and beauty of style, it is superior to every
+production of the Press within the same period All that the author
+touches, he turns into gold. I regret to say that most probably I shall
+never be at liberty to disclose his name.
+
+Naturally desirous that such a work should be perused by all England, I
+have reprinted it, verbatim, from my own copy; and, although containing
+as much in quantity as a volume of Gibbon's History of Rome, it is sold
+for _Eighteen-pence_.
+
+WILLIAM HONE.
+
+     The _French_, instantly perceiving the transcendent
+     merit of the Spirit of Despotism, and its high importance at
+     this crisis, have translated it into their language, and it
+     is now read throughout France with the greatest avidity. I
+     intreat some good _Neapolitan_ to be the benefactor of his
+     Countrymen in like manner. It should be in the hands of the
+     free, and those who desire to be free, in all nations;--
+     _Austria_, for instance.

+
+THE RIGHT DIVINE OF KINGS TO GOVERN WRONG.
+
+BOOK I.
+
+       Thus Kings were first invented, and thus Kings
+       Were burnish'd into heroes, and became
+       The arbiters of this terraqueous swamp;
+       Storks among frogs that have but croak'd and died!
+
+                                       Cowper.
+
+_Original Power--The ancient Gods--Tyrant-kings--The Apotheosis of
+James II. in the Chapel Royal--Charles II.--Paternal Government--God
+prescribed no Rules of Government--Origin of Kings--Saul._
+
+     Arise, O Satire!--tune thy useful song,
+     Silence grows criminal, when crimes grow strong;
+     Of meaner vice, and villains, sing no more,
+     But Monsters crown'd, and Crime enrobed with Power!
+     At vice's high Imperial throne begin,
+     Relate the _ancient_ prodigies of sin;
+     With pregnant phrase, and strong impartial verse,
+     The crimes of men, and crimes of Kings rehearse!
+     What though thy labour shall to _us_ be vain,
+     And the World's bondage must _its time_ remain;
+     Let willing slaves in golden fetters lie,
+     There's none can save the men who _will_ to die.
+
+{144}
+
+     Yet some there are that would not tamely bow,
+     Who fain would break their chains, if they knew how;
+     And these, from thy inspired lines, may see,
+     How they choose bondage when they may go free.
+
+     He that can levy War with all mankind,
+     Retard the day-spring of the human mind;
+     Buy Justice, sell Oppression, bribe the Law,
+     Exalt the Fool, and keep the Wise in awe;
+     With pious Peter, * cant of heaven's commands,
+     Pray with his lips, and murder with his hands;
+     Insult the wretched, trample on the poor,
+     And mock the miseries mankind endure;
+     Can ravage countries, property devour,
+     And trample Law beneath the _feet of Power_;
+     Scorn the restraint of oaths and promised Right, **
+     And ravel compacts in the people's sight;
+
+          * Peter the Cruel, King of Caslile He married the daughter
+          of a Duke of Bourbon, whom he divorced, in order to renew
+          his connexion with a former mistress. His excesses
+          occasioned the people to dethrone him. He affected piety,
+          and to govern by divine right!
+
+          ** Despots seldom keep engagements.--The People of Prussia
+          have a 'promised right' from their king of some years
+          standing. After the Battle of Waterloo, he promised them a
+          Constitution--but became a member of the Holy Alliance. In
+          1814, this king, with another of the fraternity, the Emperor
+          of Russia, was entertained at an expense of 20,028L. 7s.
+          10d. in Guildhall London, by the Corporation in Common
+          Council assembled, who also presented addresses of
+          congratulation to the worthies, on their having contributed,
+          by encaging Napoleon, to restore what the addresses called,
+          "the Legitimate dynasties." The result is, that the
+          legitimate Emperor of Russia backs the crusade on the People
+          of Naples; and the legitimate king of Prussia is as little
+          inclined to let the Prussians have a Constitution, as the
+          Corporation of London find it convenient to return the
+          14,000L. of the Bridge-House money which they borrowed
+          towards paying for the feast. The 'company they kept' and
+          the money they owe in consequence, must be a satisfactory,
+          because the only apology from the metropolis of the most
+          free country in Europe, to the Neapolitans, for not
+          assisting them in defending their national Independence, and
+          their new-born Liberty, against the combined attack of "the
+          Legitimate dynasties."
+
+{145}
+
+     _That_ thing's a Tyrant!--and that _People Fools_,
+     _Who basely bend to be that Tyrant's tools!_
+     Examine then the early course of things,
+     And search the ancient roll of Tyrant Kings,
+     When the first man usurp'd upon his kind,
+     Assumed exotick right, assuming reigned;
+     Supreme in wickedness, more wicked grew;
+     First _forced_ a homage, then decreed it _due_.
+
+     Trace the first Tyrants to their fancied thrones,
+     Placed in that heaven that all their crimes disowns:--
+     If in the Royal lists some monsters reign'd,
+     Abborr'd by heaven, and hated by mankind,
+     By lust and blood exalted to a throne,
+     For all the exquisites of Tyrant known,
+     The meaner name of monarch they despise,
+     Alive, usurp the throne, and dead, the skies;
+     Above the clouds th' incarnate devil stands,
+     And nations worship with polluted hands!
+     Old Saturn, Bacchus, and high-thundering Jove,
+     And all the rabble of the Gods above,
+     Whose names for their immortal crimes are fear'd,
+     Monarchs and Tyrant-princes first appear'd;
+
+{146}
+
+     By rapes and blood the path to greatness stain'd,
+     By rapes and blood the glittering station gain'd;
+     Succeeding knaves succeeding Gods became,
+     And sin aspired to an immortal name!
+     The mighty wretches dwell among the stars,
+     And vice in virtue's glorious robes appears;
+     And Poets celebrate their praises there,
+     As Indians worship Devils that they fear!
+     Yet let us look around the world awhile,
+     And find a Patron-God for Albion's Isle;
+     Has she so many Tyrants borne in vain?
+     Has she no Star in the celestial train?
+     Heaven knows, the difficulty only lies,
+     In who's the fittest monster for the skies!--
+     Satire, reflect with care, due caution give,
+     Some -------- are dead, beware of those that live.
+     If thou too near the present age begin,
+     Truth will be crime, and courage will be sin!
+
+     Look back two ages, see where shines on high
+     Great James, the modern Bacchus of the sky;
+     But give him time before his ghost appear,
+     Lest his uneasy fame bewray his fear:
+     Alive, the patron of the tim'rous race,
+     Fear in his head, and frenzy in his face;
+     His constellation, were it felt beneath,
+     Would make men strive to die--for fear of death!
+     His exaltation with his crimes begin,
+     See how we worship in his _House of Sin_,
+     Aloft--we view the Bacchanalian King;
+     Below--the sacred anthems daily sing;
+     His vast excess the pencil's art displays,
+     And triumphs in the clouds above our praise:
+
+{147}
+
+     What can, with equal force, devotion move,
+     We pray below, and He's debauch'd above!*
+     Look lower down the galaxy and see,
+     In yon crown'd Goat another Deity;
+     His orgied reel and lecherous leer outvie
+     The old Priapian glory of the sky;
+     His furious lusts the other Gods deface
+     And spread his viler image through the place;
+     On obscene altars blaze unholy fires
+     To him, the God of all unchaste desires! **
+
+          * The Banqnetling House at Whitehall is now the Chapel
+          Royal, where sermons are preached and Divine service is sung
+          by the choir of the king's household. On the floor, are the
+          pews for the congregation, the pulpits of the clergy, the
+          altar with the sacramental vessels, and the other
+          arrangements for sacred wor-ship. On the ceiling, the
+          apotheosis of King James the First, painted by Rubens,
+          represents the king in different situations crowned with the
+          triumphs of drunkenness.
+
+          James the First held the highest notions concerning Divine
+          Right. He had a mighty desire to be a great tyrant, but was
+          merely a great driveller. He said on a certain occasion that
+          "_there is an implicit tie among kings, which obligeth them,
+          though there be no other interest or particular engagement,
+          to stick to, and right one another, upon an insurrection of
+          subjects._"--How-ell's Letters, B. 1. §. 2.  Letter iii.
+
+          This obligation among kings _to right one another_, flows
+          from their 'Right Divine to govern wrong!' The _implicit
+          tie_ to suffo-cate liberty, wherever it appears, is co-eval
+          with tyranny--but it was never _openly_ avowed until the
+          present concert of kings. The Holy Alliance is--Despotism
+          shewing itself.
+
+          ** It was for this king, Charles II., that the phrase, "our
+          Religious king," was invented by the Bishops.
+
+             If such Vicegerents are by Heaven appointed,
+             The Devil himself may be the Lord s anointed!
+                                         --De Foe
+
+{148}
+
+     We turn disgusted from the contemplation
+     Nor seek more royal samples of our nation;

+
+     Europe, thy thrones have many a name in store,
+     As bright in guilt as any crown'd before;
+     Who, turn'd to Gods, shall shine in Poets' rhymes,
+     And faithful Hist'ry shall record their crimes.
+
+     The first _Paternal_ ruler of mankind
+     That e'er by primogenial title reign'd,
+     In dignity of government was high
+     But all his kingdom was his family.
+
+     His subjects--were his household and his wife;
+     His power--to regulate their way of life;
+     His sway--extended not beyond his gate;
+     That was the limit--of his regal state;
+     And every son might from his rule divide,
+     Be King himself, and by himself preside;
+     And when he died, the government went on
+     In natural succession to his son.
+
+     Next Families of mutual love and unity
+     Together join'd for friendship and _community_;
+     Form'd Laws, and _then_ the natural order was
+     To trust some man to execute the Laws.
+
+     Hence him they best could trust, they trusted--chose;
+     And thus a _Nation_ and a chief arose,
+     Both constituted by a mutual trust;
+     The people honest and the ruler just. *
+
+          * No hereditary king ever reigned in the world, but to
+          govern by laws and constitutions which were established

+
+     'Tis plain, when man came from his Maker's hand,
+     He left him free, and at his own command;
+     Gave him the light of nature to direct,
+     And reason, * nature's errors to inspect;
+     No rules of Government were e'er set down,
+     Nature was furnish'd to direct her own;
+     The high unerring light of Providence,
+     Left that to latent cause and consequence.
+
+          * Reason is the image of God stamped upon man at his birth,
+          the understanding breathed into him with the breath of life,
+          and iu the participation of which alone he is raised above
+          the brute creation, and his own physical nature!--Reason is
+          the queen of the moral world, the soul of the universe, the
+          lamp of human life, the pillar of society, the foundation of
+          law, the bea-con of nations, the golden chain let down from
+          heaven, which links all animated and all intelligent natures
+          in one common system--and, in the vain strife between
+          fanatic iuuovation and fauatic prejudice, we are exhorted to
+          dethrone this queen of the world, to blot out this light of
+          the mind, to deface this fair co-lumn, to break in pieces
+          this golden chaiu!--Hazlitt's Political Essays, p. 57.
+
+     Society to regulation tends,
+     As naturally as means pursue their ends;
+     The wit of man could never yet invent,
+     A way of life without a government;
+     And government has always been begun,
+     In those who, to be govern'd, gave the crown.
+
+     He that would other schemes of rule contrive
+     And search for powers the people could not give,
+     Must seek a spring which can those powers convey,
+     And seek a People too that will obey.
+
+     At length paternal rule was less complete,
+     And as mankind increas'd became unfit;
+     The petty Lords grow quarrelsome and proud,
+     And plunge their little governments in blood.
+
+{150}
+
+     The factious rivals on pretence of _right,_
+     Urge on the people to contend and fight;
+     Invaded weakness to brute force submits,
+     Oppression rages, honesty retreats,
+     Justice gives way to power, and power prevails,
+     And universal slavery entails.
+
+     Thus broils arose, and thus the ends of life
+     Are miss'd in Wars and undecided strife!
+     Scotland, till late, exemplified the plan,
+     In many a feud, in many a Highland clan.
+
+     The Chief with whoop and whistling trumpet shrill,
+     Summons his slaves from ev'ry neighb'ring hill;
+     Tells them, his foeman's bull has stol'n his cow,
+     And dire revenge th' obedient vassals vow;
+     With mighty targe, and basket-hilted knife,
+     Battle and blood decide the petty strife;
+     The namelings fight, because the lord commands,
+     And wild confusion rules th' ungovern'd lands!
+
+     The _hunter-tribes_, at first, wild beasts pursued,
+     And then to chase mankind they left the wood;
+     Became Banditti, Captains, Chieftains, Kings,
+     And Tyrants, by the natural course of things!
+
+     As he that ravaged most could rule the best,
+     So he grown King that first subdued the rest,
+     By fraud and force his _guilty power_ maintains,
+     Wheedles mankind to please themselves with chains,
+     With selfish Kingcraft calls it Right Divine,*
+     And subtle Priestcraft sanctifies his _line_.

+
+     "Kings are as Gods."--Indeed!--why then they must
+     Like God be _sacred_,--but like God _be just_.
+
+     If in a King a vicious lust prevails,
+     The people see it, and the Godship fails. *
+
+          * The time has been when rulers have actually claimed the
+          title of _God's vicegerents,_ and have been literally
+          worshipped as gods by the servile crew of courtiers;--men
+          gradually bowed down by despotism from the erect port of
+          native dignity, and driven, by fear, to crouch under the
+          most degrading of all superstition, the political idolatry
+          of a base fellovv-creature.--After all the lan-guage of
+          court adulation, the praises of poets and oiators, the
+          statues and monuments erected to their fame, the malignant
+          consequences of their actions prove them to have been no
+          other than conspirators against the improvement and happi-
+          ness of the human race. What were their means of conduct-ing
+          their governments, of exercising this office of Heaven's
+          vicegerents? Crafty, dishonest arts, oppression, extortion,
+          and, above all,  fire and sword. They dared to ape the
+          thunder and lightning of Heaven, and, assisted by the
+          machinations of the grand adversary of man, rendered their
+          imitative contrivances for destruction more terrible and
+          deadly than the original. Their imperial robe derived its
+          deep crimson colour from human blood; and the gold and
+          diamonds of their diadems were accumulated treasures wrung
+          from the famished bowels of the poor, born only to toil for
+          others, to be robbed, to be wounded, to be trodden under
+          foot, and forgotten in an early grave. How few, in com-
+          parison, have reached the age of three score and ten, and
+          yet, in the midst of youth and health, their days lifive
+          been full of labour and sorrow. Heaven's vicegerents seldom
+          bestowed a thought npon them, except when it was necessary
+          either to inveigle or to force them to take the sword and
+          march to slaughter. Where God caused the sun to shine gaily,
+          and scattered plenty over the land, his vicegerents diffused
+          famine and solitude. The valley, which laughed with corn,
+          they watered with the tear of artificial hunger and distress
+        ; the plain that was bright with verdure, and gay with
+          flowerets, they dyed red with gore. They operated on the
+          world as the blast of an east wind, as a pestilence, as a
+          deluge, as a conflagration.--It is an incontrovertible
+          axiom, that all who are born into tlie world, have a right
+          to be as happy in it as the un-avoidable evils of nature,
+          and their own disordered passions will allow. The gtand
+          object of all good government, of all govern-ment that is
+          not an usurpation, must be to promote this happi-ness, to
+          assist every individual in its attainment and security. A
+          government chiefly anxious about the emoluments of office,
+          chiefly employed in augmenting its own power, and
+          aggrandizing its obsequious instruments, while it neglects
+          the comfort and safety of individuals in middle or low life,
+          is despotic and a nui-sance. It is founded on folly as well
+          as wickedness, and, like the freaks of insanity, deals
+          mischief and misery around, without be-ing able to ascertain
+          or limit its extent and duration. If it should not be
+          punished as criminal, let it be cosrced as dangerous. --

+
+     The greatest curses any age have known
+     Have issued from the temple, or the throne;
+     Extent of ill from kings at first begins,
+     But priests must aid, and consecrate their sins.
+
+          The tortured subject might be heard complain,
+          When sinking nnder a new weight of chain,
+          Or more rebellious, might perhaps repine,
+          When tax'd to dow'r a titled concubine,
+          But the priest christens all a _Right Divine! _

+
+     Talks he of 'sacred' _then_,--the man's a fool;
+     His high pretence a joke and ridicule;
+     Abandon'd to his crimes he soon will find
+     Himself abandon'd too, by all mankind;
+     With th' Assyrian Monarch turn'd to grass,
+     As much a Tyrant, and as much an ass!
+
+{153}
+
+     Externals take from _Majesty_, the rest
+     Is but--a thing at which we laugh--_a jest!_
+     Let us to Scripture History appeal,
+     And see what truths its ancient rolls reveal:--
+     That great authority which Tyrants boast,
+     As most confirming, will confound them most!
+     When Israel with unheard of murmurs first,
+     Pray'd to indulgent Heaven they might be curst,
+     Rejected God, scorn'd his Almighty rule,
+     And made themselves their children's ridicule,
+     A standing banter, future ages' jest,
+     As damn'd to slavery at their own request--
+     With what just arguments did Samuel plead,
+     Give them the Tyrant's character to read;
+     Explain the lust of an ungovern'd man,
+     Show them the danger, preach to them in vain;
+     Tell them the wretched things they'd quickly find,
+     Within the pleasing name of King combined;
+     Deign with their'wilder'd crowds t' expostulate,
+     And open all the dangers of their fate!--
+     Yet they sought ruin with unwearied pains,
+     And begg'd for fetters, slavery, and chains!
+
+     But, it's replied, heaven heard its suppliant's prayer,
+     Itself chose out the King, and plac'd him there;
+     Disown'd the People's right, and fix'd their choice
+     In providence, and not the people's voice;
+     From whence the claim of right by regal line,
+     Made Israel's Kings be Kings by Right Divine.
+
+     Yes, Saul was King by God's immediate hand--
+     But' _twas in judgment to afflict the land!_
+     In granting He corrected the request,
+     A king He gave them, but _withheld the rest;_
+
+{154}
+
+     Gave all that they pretended to require,
+     But in the gift he punish'd the desire;
+     He gave a plague, the very selfsame thing
+     They ask'd, when they petition'd for a King!
+
+     For 'tis remarkable when Samuel saw,
+     They'd have a King in spite of sense or law,
+     He told the consequences to the land,
+     And all the mischiefs that the Word contain'd;
+     Told them, that Kings were instruments design'd,
+     Not to improve, but to correct mankind!
+
+     Told them the Tyrant would insult their peace,
+     And plunder them of all their happiness!
+
+     Told them, that Kings were but exalted thieves,
+     Would rob men first, and then would make them slaves!
+
+     Then drew the picture of a monster crown'd,
+     Ask'd them, if  such a villain could be found, *
+     Whether they'd like him, and their tribute bring?
+     They answer, Yes:--let such a man be King!
+
+          * It is remarkable, that a king scarcely ever exercised
+          tyran-nical power over the people, but it was mingled with
+          ungoverned vice in himself. Men of virtue and moderation
+          seldom, if ever, turn tyrants. Despotic rule gives the reins
+          to lust, and makes the errors of government, and the crimes
+          of life, mix together. It is the high road to cruelty and
+          brutalizing selfishness.--A king of France took out his
+          watch when he guessed that the axe was cutting off the head
+          of his favoritè, and said; 'My dear friend must make a sad
+          figure just now!'--A hill in Richmond Park is still shewn as
+          remarkable for having been the station from whence Henry
+          VIII. eagerly looked out for the ascent of a rocket at
+          London, announcing to the impatient tyrant the precise
+          moment when one of his wives was suffering death on the
+          scaffold!
+
+     And is a Tyrant King your early choice?
+     "_Be Kings your plague!_"   said the Eternal's voice;
+     And with this mighty curse he gave the crown,
+     And Saul, to Israel's terror, mounts the throne!
+     Now, Muse, the parallel with caution bring,
+     On what condition was this man their King?
+
+{155}
+
+     Tho' Heaven declar'd him, heaven itself set down
+     The sacred _Postulata_ of the crown;
+     Samuel examin'd first the high record,
+     Then dedicates the substance to the Lord.
+
+     This is the _coronation-oath_, the bond,
+     The steps on which the throne and kingdom stand;
+     For which, by future Kings unjustly broke,
+     God, and the People, mighty vengeance took! *
+
+          * Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and
+          wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. (1
+          Samuel, x. 25.) It is plain, the word manner signifies the
+          constitution of the government, or the conditiom on which
+          Saul was to be king, namely, according to justice and law;
+          and this is meant in frequent expressions, by going in and
+          out before them, referring to justice being executed in the
+          gates, and peace and war; the king was to lead them in one,
+          and direct in the other. This manner of the kingdom was told
+          to all the people, and that implied, that the consent of the
+          people was requisite to make him king, without which, though
+          Samuel had anointed him, he was not owned by the Israelites,
+          bnt went about his private affairs till after the victory
+          over the Ammonites. Then the manner of the kingdom was
+          written in a book--a token of its being a compact between
+          Saul and the people; and Samuel's laying it up before the
+          Lord, is equivalent to an oath recorded on both sides; for
+          it was there as a witness between the king and the people,
+          and served both as their oath of allegiance, and his oath of
+          government.--All this being done, what followed? All the
+          people went to Gilgal, and there they (mark the word) made
+          Saul king.--(l Samuel,i. 15.)
+
+{156}
+
+     Then mark the needful steps to make him King,
+     How sacred ends, concurring means must bring;
+     Not Samuel's ointment, not the mighty lot,
+     Could make him King, nor force his title out.
+
+     The people like not his mechanic race,
+     They see no greatness in his youthful face:--
+     "Is this the monarch shall our foes destroy,
+     Does heaven design to rule us by a _boy_?"
+
+     The flouting Rabbies cry! "We scorn to own,
+     A man that has no merit for a crown.
+     Our King must lead the glorious tribes to fight,
+     And chase the thousands of the Ammonite:
+     His pers'nal valour must our triumphs bring,
+     'Tis such a man we want, and such a King."
+
+     Away they go, reject his government,
+     Not Heav'n's high choice could force their due consent!
+     Samuel submits, adjourns the strong debate,
+     Suspends the King he offered to create;
+     Owns _their dislike's a high material thing,
+     That their Consent alone could make him King!_
+
+     Why did not God displeasure then express,
+     Resent the slight, and punish their excess;
+     Extort obedience by express command,
+     And crown his choice by his immediate hand;
+     Destroy the Rebels with his blasting breath,
+     And punish early treason with their death;
+     With mighty thunders his new King proclaim,
+     And force the trembling tribes to do the same?
+
+     Because He knew it was the course of things,
+     And _Nature's law_, that men should _choose_ their Kings;
+     He knew the early dictate was his own,
+     That reason acted from himself alone.*
+
+          * It is alledged, that the vulgar are not capable of judging
+          coucerning principles of government; I answer, they are
+          then not capable of beiug guilty of transgression; for where
+          there is a want of capacity of judgment, there can be no
+          sin. This is a dangerous argument, my Lords, and exposes
+          government to the violence of every one who can overturn it
+          with impunity. You have no defence against any person in
+          this case who is resolute, except superior strength; for
+          the gallows will not frighten a man who is not conscious of
+          guilt, if he has any degree of natural fortitude. Try to
+          persuade the vulgar that there is any case in which they
+          cannot sin, and you will soon perceive what opera-tion it
+          will have upon them. But when you tell them they are not
+          judges of your manouvres of state, they will soon tell you
+          that they cannot transgress what they do not understand and
+          that you require of them more than the Deity requires of
+          them, or even supposes; for he requires no duty without
+          first allowing men to judge of his laws, and makes no laws
+          beyond the reach of their understandings.

+     His mighty fighting sons, to fear betray'd,
+     Fly from th' advancing squadrons in the fright,
+     'Till Jabesh' walls embrace the Ammonite.

+     The boy they scored does in the field appear;
+     His pers'nal merit now bespeaks the throne,
+     He beats the enemy, and wears his crown.
+
+     The willing tribes their purchased suffrage bring,

+          their royal persons from place to place. The sight is truly
+          ludicrous. Are these the men, _occupied, as they usually
+          are, in the meanest trifles and the most degrading
+          pleasures,_ who tell us that the governmen over which they
+          preside, is a perfect system, and that the wisest
+          philosopher knows not how to govern mankind; that is, to
+          consult their happiness and security, so well as themselves,
+          neglected as they have been in youth, and corrupted in
+          manhood by panders to their vices, and flatterers of their
+          foibles, their pride, and their ambition? There is reason
+          to believe that _many kings in despotic kingdoms, have been
+          worse educated, and possess less abilities, than a common
+          charity-boy, trained in a parish school to read and write._
+          Spirit of Despotism. An Anecdote, containing the thoughts of
+          a Despot is a treat. It appears from the Emperor of Austria
+          heading the Holy Alliance against Naples with our money in
+          his pockets, as well as from a letter dated Laybach, 28th
+          January, 1821, that his Majesty has the _horrors._ The
+          letter states, that when the Professors of the Lyceum at
+          Laybach were presented to him, he made this nervous speech
+        :--"Gentlemen--The students of Carniola have always deserved
+          praise, (from which their progress in useful knowledge may
+          be inferred). Endeavour to preserve for them this good
+          character, (modern Boeotians). Remain ever faithful to what
+          is ancient, (Tyranny); for what is ancient is good, (he
+          means for himself); and onr ancestors (his Ancestors) ever
+          found it so. Why should it not be the same to us? (The
+          throne-men). People (tyrant-hater's) are occupied elsewhere
+          (at Naples) with new notions (principles of liberty), that I
+          (heigh Oh!) cannot approve, (cannot help); and never shall
+          approve, (Royal till death). From such notions (political
+          truth) preserve yourselves, (God preserve the Emperor);
+          attach yourselves to nothing bnt what is positive,
+          (Despotism). I do not want learned men (the students at
+          Copenhagen on the king's birth-day, January 2nd, 1821,
+          shouted "Vivat Rex the soldiers, not understanding Loyally
+          in Latin, and, supposing the students uttered seditious
+          cries, dispersed them with their sabres and hilled four:
+          ergo Steel is stronger than Latin). I want only loyal and
+          good subjects, (implicitly obedient slaves); and it is your
+          part to (become drill serjeants, and) form them (into line).
+          He who serves (implicitly obeys), will instruct, (that is--
+          keep the students stupid) according to my orders; and
+          whoever feels himself incapable of that, (non-instruction,)
+          and embraces novel ideas, (knowledge,) had better depart--or
+          I shall myself remove him, (by putting something into his
+          head!). This is a fine and perfect specimen of legitimate
+          mind; and here is another:--At the Museum of Bologna the
+          Professors of the University shewed this same Emperor one or
+          Sir Humphrey Davy's safety lamps, and informed him that the
+          Englishman its inventor, had, by his nnmerous discoveries,
+          produced a revolution in science. At the word revolution
+          the countenance of the Emperor changed; he rumped the
+          attendant, and said, the King of England would no doubt feel
+          the consequences of his condescension to his unruly
+          subjects; but, as to himself, he should take proper care
+          not to suffer any of his subjects to make revo-lutions!--
+          "_What is ancient is good._" Stick to that, Despots! Yonr
+          ancestors,'an please your Majesties, groped without safety
+          lamps --I pray that you may, till you be no more.
+
+{161}
+
+     Kings spurn at limitations, laws, and rules,
+     And rob mankind--because mankind are fools;
+     Wheedled to act against their common sense,
+     To jumble tyranny with providence;
+     To hope from God what God expects from them,
+     For what they ought to do, look up to Him;
+     Leave unperform'd the duties which they know,
+     And _lift up_ hands they should _employ_ below!
+     Christians must no more miracles expect,
+     The men that will be slaves, He'll not protect;
+     God never will our base petitions hear,
+     Till our endeavours supersede our prayer;
+     Not always then; but nation's may be sure,
+     The _willing_ bondage _ever_ shall endure.
+
+     They that would have His power to be their friend,
+     Must, with what power they have, their right defend.
+     The laws of God, God makes us understand,
+     The laws of Nature never countermand.
+
+     Nature prescribes, for'tis prescrib'd to sense,
+     Her first of laws to man--is self-defence.
+
+     This then is Law to man, from God on high,
+     _Resisting_ live--or _unresisting_ die!
+
+     He always works by means, and means he'll bless,
+     With approbation, often with success.
+
+     Nor prayers nor tears will revolutions make,
+     Tyrants pull down, or irksome bondage break;
+     'Tis our own business; and He lets us know,
+     What is our business, he expects we'll do.
+
+          * God punishes bad kings and oppressors, as he does the rest
+          of mankind--through his instruments, The, People. It is the
+          only way by which he has ever made an example of tyrants as
+          a terror to others.
+
+     Tyrants sometimes in Revolutions fall,
+     Though their destruction's not design'd at all;
+     So hasty showers, when they from heav'n flow down,
+     Are sent to fructify, and not to drown;
+     And, in the torrent, if a drunkard sink,
+     'Tis not the flood that drowns him, but the drink,
+     Yet who would say, because a sinner's slain,
+     For fear of drowning, we must have no rain.
+
+{163}
+
+     It's doubtful who live most unnatural lives,
+     The subject that his liberty survives,
+     Or kings that trample law and freedom down,
+     And make free justice truckle to the crown.
+
+     Law is the master-spring of government--
+     The only Right Ditine that heaven has sent, *
+     It forms the order of the world below,
+     And all our blessings from that order flow.
+
+          * The tyrant Henry VIII., by making himself the head of the
+          Church, clearly begat the Right Divine. The King could give
+          bishoprics, and the Bishops could give opinions. "Your
+          Majesty is the breath of our nostrils," said Bishop Neil to
+          James I., and speaking of himself and brethren as to worldly
+          advantages, he certainly spoke the truth. Before the Kings
+          of England were heads of the Church we heard little of
+          divine right, and some-times the Church itself was seen on
+          the side of freedom; since that time, never. The doctrine
+          in England, that the King can do no wrong, supposes the
+          positive responsibility of his Minis-ters. But, that it is a
+          dangerous licence of language, is wit-nessed iu a Right
+          Reverend exposition of this kingly privi-lege in regard to
+          Adultery. The Bishop leaped from political to moral
+          delinquency, with a casuistry worthy an admirer of the royal
+          power of translation. The Abbe de Choisy, a Priest of the
+          same school as the British Father in God, though not of the
+          same church, dedicated an edition of Thomas à Kempis, on the
+          'Imitation of Christ' to Madame de Maintenon, a courtesan
+          and mistress to Louis XIV., prefixing this motto: "Hear oh!
+          daugh-ter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also
+          thine own people, and thy father's honse; _so shall the
+          King greatly desire thy beauty!_" Psa. xlv. 10,11.
+
+          The Court's a golden but a fatal circle,
+          Upon whose magic skirts a thousand devils
+          In crystal forms, sit tempting innocence,
+          And beckon early virtue from its ceutre.
+          Anon, quoted by Dr. Watts.
+
+{164}
+
+     Law is the life-blood of the social state;
+     Subordinate to law is magistrate,
+     To set the magistrate above the law,
+     Would all to error and confusion draw,
+     He's not a king that's not prescribed by laws--
+     King's, the effect, but government's the cause
+     Of all authority for Right Divine,
+     Custom's the worst, for every royal line.
+
+     The still-born Ignorance of antiquity,
+     Quirk'd into life to cozen freemen by,
+     Lawyers call Custom; and, for custom, draw
+     On custom still, to still call custom, _Law!_
+
+     So  'rules' the _Bench_, and so the maxim takes,
+     The fault one age commits, no age forsakes!
+
+     Begot by fools, maintain'd by knaves and fools,
+     Improved by craft in error's public schools;
+     With shifting face, with loose and stammering tongue,
+     The juggling fraud has plagued the world too long;
+     Modern encroachments on our freedom makes,
+     And backs it with our fathers' old mistakes:
+     As if our rev'rence, to their virtues due,
+     Should recommend their crimes and follies too!
+
+     This vapour Custom, this mere wand'ring cloud
+     Puffs the crown'd wretch, and helps to make him proud.
+     Persuades him to believe it must be true,
+     Homage to Law, becomes the _Tyrant's_ due!
+
+{165}
+
+     Thus Priestcraft preaches, and thus Lawyers draw
+     An after age, to call a custom--Law!
+
+     And yet this boasted, ever-quoted thing,
+     Fails in the point--fails to support the king:
+     For though by custom, kings have learn'd to ride
+     A few vile minions, to support their pride,
+     The people always have opposed the cheat,
+     It never was their custom to submit;
+     The Practice of the people made the name,
+     For practices and customs are the same;
+     And custom this one mighty truth will tell,
+     When kings grow tyrants, nations will rebel.
+
+     The people may, for custom gives assent,
+     Dethrone the man, to save the Government!
+     If any say the practice is not so,
+     Let them to England for examples go.
+
+     England the Right Divine of kings profess'd *
+     And all the marks of slavery caress'd;
+     Long courted chains, but'twas in court disguise,
+     And holy fraud conceal'd the sacred lies--
+
+          * Sir Robert Filmer, the great champion of Divine Right
+          having defended it in print, Algernon Sidney drew out a
+          system of original power, and government according to the
+          laws of God, nature, and reason. Before it was finished, the
+          friends of Divine Right seized the manuscript, and finding
+          Sidney's arguments un-answerable, they laid aside the work,
+          and fell upon the man; --so they cut off his head, merely
+          because they could not an-swer his book.
+
+     The Church the mountebank, the King the jest,
+     The _wheedled monarch_, and the _wheedling priest!_
+     James proved the patient, crouching, loyal tribe,
+     But let his fate their loyalty describe!
+
+{166}
+
+     With life-and-fortune, churchmen back'd the crown, *
+     In crushing all men's freedom but their own.
+
+          * A Courtier's loyalty is charmingly pictured in the
+          portrait of Bubb Doddington, drawn by himself in his
+          celebrated Diary. He was by trade a Boroughmonger, and his
+          stock, consisted of six Members in the House of Commons,
+          which he jobbed about and sold to the best bidder. At the
+          close of his bargain and sale of the whole in a lump to the
+          Duke of Newcastle for the king's service, there is a finish
+          which renders the painting a fiue and matchless Cabinet
+          specimen.--Bubb, who had been in disgrace at court for
+          selling them elsewhere, said to tlie duke, "I knew I had
+          given no just cause of offence, but that I could not justify
+          it with His Majesty; that it was enough that He (the king)
+          was displeased, to make me think that I was in the wrong,
+          and to beg Him to forget it: I would not even be in the
+          right against HIM!" The duke was delighted with this loyal
+          and dutiful submission. Bubb says, "He took me up in his
+          arms, and kissed me twice!" and Bubb was rewarded for
+          laying his six members of the honorable house at the foot of
+          the throne with the price he stipulated for--namely, the
+          treasurership of the navy, and a peerage! The story was
+          beautifully and most impressively related by the excellent-
+          hearted and inflexible John Hunt, in his noble and
+          successful defence, on the trial of an ex officio
+          information for words in the Examiner charged not as false,
+          but as libellous on the Honorable House.
+
+     Then, under colour or pretence of law,
+     Villains their victims to the shambles draw,
+     Where sat the scoundrel Chief in ermined pride,
+     And a pack'd jury in the box beside.
+
+     The farce commences--justice heaves a groan--
+     The case is clear--a verdict for the Crown!
+
+     When noble Russell and brave Sidney fell,
+     Judges themselves rung, out Law's funeral knell!
+
+{167}
+
+     Yet when their own destruction they foresaw,
+     The passive knaves cried Liberty and Law!
+
+     Took from their best of Kings his Right Divine,
+     And abrogated fealty to the line;
+     They made a precedent, dropp'd T from TReason,
+     And found the best of words behind it--reason!
+
+     The crown's a symbol, that the people meant,
+     To mark their choice, or form of government; *
+     The crown is theirs, and this has been their plan,
+     To make the office sacred, not the man:
+     Hence, if a tyrant on the throne appears,
+     The place is vacant, and the crown is theirs.
+
+          * All Majesty is derived from Law founded on right reason. A
+          strength beyond that is mere force. The Magistrate formerly
+          had no Majesty but while engaged in magisterial duties. His
+          real dignity consisting in his legal authority.
+
+          When the ancient parliaments of France met according to the
+          constitution annually, the king went to meet the members
+          seated in a waggon drawn by oxen, which a waggoner drove
+          with his goad to the parliament house; but he was in no
+          state until he was seated there, robed and crowned, and
+          sceptred. And, in-deed, in that place only, where the great
+          affairs of the Com-monwealth are transacted, can it be said,
+          that Real Majesty does truly and properly reside; and not
+          where the king plays, or dances, or prattles with his women,
+          when the vulgar are always styling him, your Majesty.
+
+          Hotomun's Franco-gallia, p. 73.
+
+     David, the patient tribes too much opprest,
+     Vex'd them with tribute, and deny'd them rest;
+     Harass'd the land with imposts and alarms,
+     Taxing and fighting--money! and to arms!
+
+{168}
+
+     His son, however wise, disturbed their peace,
+     With taxes for his sumptuous palaces;
+     His love of women and his garish state,
+     His love of pomp and show, and looking great;
+     His building projects, and his vast designs,
+     Too vast for all the gold of Ophir's mines,
+     The people's hearts dismay'd, their feelings pain'd,
+     Their love unsettled, and their treasures drain'd. *
+
+          * Solomon could have but two occasions for money; one for
+          his costly buildings, the other for his numerous women, for
+          he never had any wars. To the expense of his buildings the
+          kings of other countries contributed largely; so that it
+          must have beeu his excesses in women, and other luxurious
+          indulgences, that caused him to oppress the people with
+          heavy burdens of taxes.
+
+     By two such' vigorous monarchs long opprest,
+     The next that came they loyally addrest;
+     Implored his gracious majesty would please
+     To tax them less, and let them live in peace.
+
+     The son of Solomon with anger hears
+     The people dare to offer him their pray'rs,
+     Spurns their Address, his rage no bounds restrain,
+     And thus he gives his answer with disdain:--
+
+     "I bear from Heaven the ensigns of my sway,
+     My business is to rule, and your's obey:
+     Therefore your scandalous Address withdraw,
+     'Tis my command, and my command's your law:
+     Sedition grows from seeds of discontent,
+     And faction always snarls at government:
+     But since my throne from God alone I hold,
+     To Him alone my councils I unfold;
+     My resolutions he has made your laws,
+     You are to know my actions, He the cause!
+
+{169}
+
+     Wherefore I stoop, to let you understand,
+     I double all the taxes of the land.
+
+     And if your discontents and feuds remain,
+     Petition--and I'll double them again!
+
+     The mild correction which my Father gave,
+     Has spoil'd the people he design'd to save;
+     You murmur'd then, but had you thus been used,
+     You'd ne'er his easy clemency abused!"
+
+     The injured people, treated with disdain,
+     Found their Petitions and Addresses vain!
+
+     Long had they made submissions to the crown,
+     And long the love of Liberty had known;
+     The kings they ask'd of God had let them see,
+     What God himself foretold of tyranny.
+
+     The father had exhausted all their stores,
+     With costlyhouses, and more costly whores;
+     But doubly robb'd by his encroaching son,
+     They rather chose to die, than be undone;
+     And, thus resolving, by a single stroke,
+     Ten tribes revolted, and their bondage broke!
+
+     The tyrant, in his sceptred bloated pride,
+     Believing God and blood upon his side;
+     To the high altar in a rage repairs,
+     And rather tells his tale, than makes his prayers: *
+
+          * The author has taken a poetical licence here. For
+          scripture does not say that Rehoboam prayed to the Lord.
+
+     "Behold!" says he, "the slaves, o'er whom I reign,
+     Have made the pow'r I had from Thee in vain;
+     From thy diviner rule they separate,
+     And make large schisms both in Church and State;
+     My just intentions are, with all my force,
+     To check rebellion in its earliest course;
+     Revenge th' affronts of my insulted throne,
+     And save thy injured honour, and my own;
+     And as thy counsels did my fathers bless,
+     He claims thy help, who does their crown possess!"
+
+{170}
+
+     Listen ye kings, ye people all rejoice,
+     And hear the answer of th' Almighty voice:
+     Tremble, ye tyrants, read the high commands,
+     In sacred writ the sacred sentence stands!
+
+     "_Stir not afoot!_ thy new-rais'd troops disband!"
+     Says the Eternal;--"it is my command!
+
+     I raised thy fathers to the Hebrew throne,
+     I set it up, but you yourselves pull down!
+     For when to them I Israel's sceptre gave,
+     'Twas not my chosen people to enslave.
+
+     My first command no such commission brings,
+     I made no tyrants, though I made you kings;
+     But you my people vilely have opprest,
+     And misapplied the powers which you possest.
+     'Tis Nature's laws the people now direct,
+     When Nature speaks, I never contradict.
+
+     Draw not the sword, thy brethren to destroy,
+     The liberty they have, they may enjoy;
+     I ever purposed, and I yet intend,
+     That what they may enjoy, they may defend;
+     They have deserted from a misused throne,
+     "The thing's from Me"--the crime is all thy own!"*
+
+          * When the ten tribes revolted from Rehoboam, and chose Je-
+          roboam king, there is no doubt they limited him by law; for
+          many years afterwards king Aliab, one of his succcssors,
+          admring a herb-garden near to his own palace, applied to the
+          owner, Naboth, and offered him either a vineyard for it, or
+          the worth of it in money; but Naboth would neither exchange
+          nor sell it, and Ahab returned home so vexed, that he went
+          to bed and would not eat any thing. Naboth having thus
+          displeased the king, the courtiers got up a charge of
+          Blasphemy and Sedition against him by means of false
+          wituesses hired on purpose; he was found guilty and
+          executed, and Ahab got possession of the garden, probably as
+          a forfeiture to the crown. It is clear, therefore, that
+          Ahab's power was restrained by law, for it was not until
+          Nabot was murdered _under the forms of law_, that the king
+          could get the poor man's property. Another thing is very
+          remarkable: as soon as the murder was completed, and the
+          king had got the garden, there was an honest Father in God,
+          who, instead of saying 'the king could do no wrong,' went to
+          his majesty, charged him with the crime, and denounced his
+          downfall, which happened accordingly, through his listening
+          to flattering ecclesiastics, and his fondness for military
+          affairs. If the Bishop of London should desire to preach on
+          this story, he is informed that he may find it in the Bible,
+          1 Kings, xxi.
+
+{171}
+
+     If kings no more be flatter'd and deceived,
+     Nor shun too late, the knaves they have believed;
+     If as 'trustees for uses' they agree
+     To act by limited authority;
+     Subordination will its order keep,
+     Ambition die, and all rebellion sleep.
+
+     The weeping nations shall begin to laugh,
+     The subjects easy, and the rulers safe.
+
+     Plenty and peace embrace just government,
+     The king be pleased, the people be content.
+
+     If any king is hoodwink'd to believe,
+     People will blind obedience to him give;
+     Let him pause long, before he dares to try,
+     They all by practice give their words the lie! *
+
+          * Flattery is a fine picklock of tender ears; especially of
+          those whom fortune hath borne high upon their wings, that
+          submit their dignity and authority to it, by a soothing of
+          themselves. For, indeed, men could never he taken in that
+          abundance with the springes of others' flattery, if they
+          began not there; if they did but remember how much more
+          profitable the bitterness of truth were than all the honey
+          distilling from a whorish voice, which is not praise but
+          poison. But now it is come to that extreme of folly, or
+          rather madness, with some, that he that flatters them mo-
+          destly, or sparingly, is thought to malign them.
+
+          Ben Jonson.
+
+          The ears of kings are so tiugled with a continual uniform
+          ap-probation, that they have scarce any knowledge of true
+          praise. Have they to do with the greatest fool of all their
+          subjects--they have no way to take advantage of him: by the
+          flatterer saying, "It is because he is my king," he thinks
+          he has said enough to imply that he therefore suffered
+          himself to be over-come. This quality stifles and confuses
+          the other true and es-sential qualities which are sunk deep
+          in the kingship.
+
+          Montaigne.

+
+     Art may by mighty dams keep out the tide,
+     Check the strong current, and its streams divide;
+     Pen up the rising waters, and deny
+     The easy waves to glide in silence by:
+     But if the river is restrain'd too long,
+     It swells in silence to resent the wrong;
+     With fearful force breaks opposition down,
+     And claims its native freedom for its own.

+
+     Search we the long records of ages past,
+     Look back as far as antient rolls will last;
+     Beyond what oldest history relates,
+     While kings had people, people magistrates;
+     Nations, e'er since there has been king or crown,
+     Have pull'd down tyrants to preserve the throne.
+
+     The laws of nature then, as still they do,
+     Taught them, their rights and safety to pursue;
+     That if a king, who should protect, destroys,
+     He forfeits all the sanction he enjoys.
+
+{174}
+
+     There's not a nation ever own'd a crown,
+     But if their kings opprest them, pull'd them down;
+     Concurring Providence has been content,
+     And always blest the action in th' event.
+
+     He that, invested with the robes of power,
+     Thinks'tis his right the people to devour,
+     Will always find some stubborn men remain,
+     That have so little wit, they won't be slain;
+     Who always turn again when they're opprest,
+     And basely spoil the gay tyrannic jest;
+     Tell kings--of Nature, Laws of God, and Right,
+     Take up their arms, and with their tyrants fight.
+
+     When passive thousands fall beneath the sword,
+     And freely die at the imperial word,
+     A stern, unyielding, self-defending few,
+     While they resist, will ravel all the clew;
+     Will all the engines of oppression awe,
+     And trample pow'r beneath the feet of law.
+
+     'Tis always natural for men opprest,
+     Whene'er occasion offers to resist;
+     They're traitors else to truth and common sense,
+     And rebels to the laws of Providence;
+     'Tis not enough to say, they _may_--they _must_;
+     The strong necessity declares it just; *
+     'Tis Heav'n's supreme command to man, and they
+     Are always blest who that command obey.
+
+          * If it be asked, Who shall be judge? it is plain that God
+          has made Nature judge. If a king make a law, destructive of
+          human society and the general good, may it not be resisted
+          and opposed? "No!" exclaim a junta of holy meu, "it is from
+          GOD!" What is _Blasphemy?_
+
+{175}
+
+     So France deposed the Merovingian line,
+     And banish'd Childrick * lost the right divine;
+     So Holy League their sacred Henry ** slew,
+     And call'd a counsel to erect a new;
+     For right divine must still to justice bow,
+     And people first the right to rule bestow:
+
+     So Spain to arbitrary kings inured,
+     Yet arbitrary Favila *** abjured;
+     Denmark four kings deposed, and Poland seven,
+     Swedeland but one-and-twenty, Spain eleven:
+     Russia, Demetrius banish'd from the throne,****
+     And Portugal pull'd young Alphonsus down;
+     Each nation that deserves the name of state,
+     Has set up laws above the magistrate;
+     Hence, when a self-advancing wretch acquires
+     A lawless rule, his government expires.
+
+          * Childeric I. the son of Merovius, for his lasciviousness,
+          was banished by the great men, and one Egidiu?, a Gaul, set
+          up in his stead. Childeiic II. was banished and deposed by
+          his subjects, and king Pepin reigned in his stead; and so
+          ended the Merovingian family.
+
+          ** The League deposed Henry III. and declared him a tyrant,
+          a murderer, and incapable to reign, and held frequent
+          counsels with the pope's legate and the Spaniards about
+          settling the crown, and several proposals were made of
+          settling it, sometimes on the infanta of Spain, at other
+          times on the cardinal of Boubon, the duke de Main, and
+          others.
+
+          ***  Favila, a cruel tyrant, was deposed by the Castilians,
+          who chose judges to administer the government, till they
+          appointed another.
+
+          **** Besides the banishment of Demetrius, the History of
+          Russia furnishes a sickening catalogue of the butchery of
+          her despots by each other. During the debate in the House of
+          Lords on the 19th of February, 1821, Lord Holland, observing
+          on the Crusade of the Holy Alliance of Despots against
+          Naples, said, "That objections to the freedom of political
+          constitutions came but ungracefully from the reigning
+          Emperor of Russia, who ascended a throne reeking with the
+          blood of his own father: and as this member of that holy
+          league, owed his crown to the murder of his father, it
+          brought to his recollection, that since the time of the Czar
+          Peter I. no sovereign had ascended the throne of Russia
+          with-out its being stained with the blood of his immediate
+          predecessor, or some other member of his own family."
+
+{176}
+
+     Explore the past, the steps of monarchs tread,
+     And view the sacred titles of the dead;
+     Look to the early kings of Britain's isle,
+     For _Jus Divinum_ in our _native_ style.
+
+     Conquest, or compacts, form the rights of kings,
+     And both are human, both unsettled things;
+     Both subject to contingencies of fate,
+     And so the godship of them proves a cheat.
+
+     The crowns and thrones the greatest monarchs have,
+     Were either stolen, or the people gave.
+
+     What claim had colonel Cnute, * or captain Suene?
+     What right the roving Saxon, pirate Dane?
+     Hengist, or Horsa, Woden's blood defied,
+     And on their sword, not right divine, relied.
+
+          * The leaders of the invading Saxons and Danes were mere
+          thieves and robbers, pretending to no light but that of the
+          sword. Hengist and Horsa were Saxon leaders, who after
+          conquering Kent, made themselves kings. Woden is famed to be
+          the first great leader of the Goths into Europe, and all
+          their kings affected to be thought of his predatory blood.
+
+{177}
+
+     The Norman Bastard, how divine his call!
+     And where's his heav'nly high original?
+     These naked nations, long a helpless prey,
+     To foreign and domestic tyranny;--
+     Their infant strength unfit to guard their name--
+     Was left exposed to ev'ry robber's claim,
+     An open prey to pirates, and the isle,
+     To wild invaders, grew an early spoil.
+
+     The Romans ravaged long our wealthy coast,
+     And long our plains fed Caesar's num'rous host.
+
+     What birthright raised that rav'nous leader's name?
+     His sword, and not his fam'ly, form'd his claim.
+
+     Where'er the Roman eagles spread their wings,
+     They conquer'd nations, and they pull'd down kings;
+     Caesar in triumph o'er the whole presided,
+     And right of conquest half the world divided.
+
+     For Liberty our sires in arms appear'd,
+     And in its sacred name with courage warr'd;
+     Made the invaders buy their conquest dear,
+     And legions of their bones lie buried here. *
+
+          * The hillocks or barrows still remaining in most parts of
+          Eng-land were the graves of the soldiers. There are four
+          very large ones near Stevenage in Hertfordshire, close to
+          the road. The plains in Wiltshire and Dorsetshire are full
+          of these monuments of the valorous achievements of the
+          Britons iu defence of their liberty.
+
+     When these their work of slaughter had fulfill'd,
+     And seas of British blood bedew'd the field;
+     Shoals of Barbarian Goths, worse thieves than they,
+     From Caledonian Friths, and frozen Tay,
+     O'erspread the fruitful, now abandon'd plains,
+     And led the captured victims in their chains:
+     The weaken'd natives, helpless and distrest,
+     Doom'd to be plunder'd, ravish'd, and oppress'd,
+     Employ new thieves from the rude Northern coast,
+     To rob them of the little not yet lost.
+
+{178}
+
+     The work once done, the workmen, to be paid,
+     Only demand themselves, and all they had!
+     In dreadful strife their freedom to maintain,
+     They fought with fury, but they fought in vain;
+     Yet, like Antaeus, every time they fell,
+     Their veins with rage and indignation swell;
+     Not for continued losses they despair,
+     But for still fiercer battle they prepare;
+     Again their blood the Saxon chariots stains,
+     And heaps of heroes strew th' ensanguin'd plains;
+     Thus, though they leave the world, they keep the field,
+     And thus their lives, but not their freedom yield.
+
+     Three hundred years of bloody contest past,
+     Plunder'd at first, and dispossest at last,
+     The few remains, with freedom still inspir'd,
+     To Western mountains, to resist retired;
+     Their dear abandon'd country thence they view,
+     And thence their thirst of Liberty renew;
+     Offers of peaceful bondage they defy,
+     What's peace to man without his liberty? *
+
+          * The Britons fought one hundred and sixty-three pitched
+          bat-tles. They might well be said to be conquered, for in
+          these prodigious straggles for their liberty they were
+          nearly all slain. They fought as long as there were any men
+          to be raised? but the Saxons swarming continually over from
+          vastly populous countries, the few Britons that remained,
+          took sanctuary in the wes-tern mountains of Wales, and from
+          the crags and cliffs, poor and distrest as they were, they
+          made constant inroads and excursions upon the Saxons; the
+          Saxon Annals are filled with accounts of the renewed
+          warfare. Even the English histories frequently mention the
+          incursions of the Welsh, till, at last, united to England,
+          they seem to be incorporated with the natives of their
+          ancient soil.
+
+{179}
+
+     The conquer'd nation--fell a dear bought prey,
+     And Britain's island, _Saxon_ Lords obey:
+     The shouting troops their victories proclaim,
+     And load their chiefs with royalty and fame:
+     The garland of their triumphs was their crown,
+     Mob set them up, and rabble pull'd them down!
+
+     Fighting was all the merit they could bring,
+     The bloodiest wretch appear'd the bravest King!
+     Nor did his kingship any longer last,
+     Than till by some more powerful rogue displaced.
+     In spoil and blood was fix'd the right divine.
+     And thus commenced the royal Saxon line:--
+
+     That sword that vanquish'd innocence in fight,
+     The sword that crush'd the banish'd Britons' right,
+     At pleasure subdivides the British crown,
+     And forms eight soldier kingdoms out of one.
+
+     From these we strive to date our royal line,
+     And these must help us to a right divine;
+     From actions buried in eternal night,
+     Priestcraft is brought, to fix the fancied right;
+     Priestcraft that, always on the strongest side,
+     Contrives, tho' kings should walk, that priests shall ride.
+
+     One master thief his fellows dispossest,
+     And gave, once more, the weeping nation rest;
+     For Egbert, * English monarchy began,
+     By his Almighty-sword--the Sacred man!
+
+          * Egbert came over originally from France, and was not the
+          successor of any prince of the West Saxon kingdom, nor of
+          any kingdom.
+
+{180}
+
+     Yet who was Egbert? Search his ancient breed;
+     What sacred ancestors did he succeed?
+     What mighty princes form'd his royal line,
+     And handed down to him the right divine?
+
+     A high-Dutch trooper, sent abroad to fight,
+     Whose trade was blood, and in his arm his right:
+     A supernumerary Holsteineer, *
+     For want of room at home, sent out to war;
+     A mere Swiss** mercenary, who for bread,
+     Was born on purpose to be knock'd in head;
+     A Saxon soldier was his high descent,
+     Murder his business, plunder his intent;
+     The poor unvalued, despicable thing,
+     A thief by nation, and by fate a king!
+
+          * The Saxons that came over were from Jutland, Holstein, &c.
+          The poor countries the Saxons lived in, being unable to
+          support the vast numbers of the people they produced, they
+          sought subsistence and habitations in fruitful and plentiful
+          lands.
+
+          **  A Swiss, alludes to their being mercenaries.
+
+     To-day the monarch glories in his crown,
+     A soldier thief to-morrow knocks him down,
+     And calls the fancied right divine his own!
+
+     In the next age that 'rightful' Lord's forgot,
+     And rampant treason triumphs on the spot:
+     Success gives title, makes possession just,
+     For if the fates obey, the subjects must.
+
+     We should be last of all that should pretend,
+     The long descent of princes to defend;
+     Since, if hereditary right's the claim,
+     The English line has forty times been lame;
+     Of all the nations in the world, there's none
+     Have less of true succession in their crown.
+
+{181}
+
+     Britannia now, with men of blood opprest,
+     And all her race of tyrants lately ceased;
+     Ill fate prevailing, seeks at foreign shores,
+     And for worse monsters, ignorantly implores.
+
+     The right divine was so despised a thing,
+     The crown went out a begging for a king
+     Of foreign breed, of unrelated race,
+     Whore in his scutcheon, tyrant in his face j
+     Of spurious birth, and intermingled blood,
+     Who nor our laws nor language understood.
+
+     William the early summons soon obeys,
+     Ambition fills his sails, his fleets the seas;
+     By cruel hopes, and fatal valour sped,
+     The foreign legions Britain's shores o'erspread:
+     The sword decides the claim, the land's the prey,
+     Fated the conquering tyrant to obey.
+
+     Harold by usurpation gain'd the crown, *
+     And ditto usurpation pull'd him down.
+     Nothing but patience then could Britain claim;
+     Oppress'd by suff'ring, suff'ring made her tame:
+     She saw the tyrant William quit the throne,
+     And hoped for better usage from his son;
+     But change of tyrants gave her small relief,
+     She lost the lion, and receiv'd the thief.
+
+          * Harold seized upon the crown by force. He had no claim to
+          it, by blood or inheritance, being the son of Earl Goodwin.
+
+     Rufus, his father's ill got treasure seized,
+     The greedy sons of mother-church appeased;
+     Bought up rebellion with the cash he stole,
+     Secured the Clergy, and seduced the whole.
+
+     So brib'ry first with robbery combined
+     To ride before, and treason rode behind.
+
+{182}
+
+      Ambition, and the lust of rule prevail'd,
+      And Robert's right, on Rufus' head entail'd. *
+
+      Beau-Clerk next grasp'd his elder brother's crown,
+      And, by his sword, maintain'd it was his own:
+      The second ** Henry fights, and fighting treats,
+      To own the prince's title he defeats;
+      Consents to mean conclusions of the war,
+      And stoops to be a base usurper's heir;
+      Accepts the ignominious grant, and shows
+      His right's as bad as Stephen's that bestows:
+      The royal tricksters thus divide the prey,
+      And helpless crowds the jugglers' swords obey. ***
+
+      Then John, ****  another branch of Henry's line,
+      Jumps on the throne, in spite of Right Divine,
+      Turn we to mighty Edward's deathless name;
+      Or to his son's, whose conquests were the same;
+      That mighty hero of right royal race,
+      His father still alive, usurp'd his place. (v)
+
+          * They were both usurpers, for the true right of descent was
+          in Edgar Atheling. of the race of Edmund Ironside.
+
+          ** Henry II. was obliged to compromise the dispute with his
+          competitor Stephen; a prudent agreement, but in defiance of
+          hereditary right.
+
+          *** As at the death of Henry I. the main line of Normandy
+          ended, so the succession has ever since proved so brittle,
+          that it never held to the third heir in a right descent
+          without being put by, or receiving some alteration by
+          usurpation, or extinction of the male blood.--Churchill's
+          Divi Britannici, p. 207.
+
+          **** King John was the youngest son of Henry II., who had
+          his eldest line deposed. Henry was the son of a usurper, a
+          usurper himself, and the murderer of his own brother's son.
+
+          (v) Edward III. reigned, his father, Edward II. being a
+          prisoner, and was afterwards murdered.
+
+{183}
+
+     As Edward on his parent's murder stood,
+     So Richard's tyrant reign was closed in blood:
+     Deposed and murder'd, Edward's father lies;
+     Deposed and murder'd--thus the grandson * dies.
+
+     Lancastrian Henry from his feeble head,
+     The bauble wrench'd, and wore it in his stead;
+     Three of his name by due succession reign,
+     And York demands the right of line in vain.
+
+     Thro' seas of slaughter, for this carnaged crown
+     Edward, not went, but waded to the throne **
+     Three times deposed, three times restored by force,
+     Priest-ridden Henry's title*** yields of course.
+
+     Short lived the right the conquering king enjoy'd,
+     Treason and crime his new-crown'd race destroy'd;
+     As if the crimson hand of Power pursued
+     The very crown, and fated it to blood,
+     Richard by lust of government allured,
+     By double murders, next that crown procured;
+     For silent records trumpet-tongued proclaim
+     The jails and graves of princes are the same.
+
+     At Bosworth field, the crookback was dethroned;
+     Slain in the fight, and then the victor own'd! ****
+
+          * Richard II.
+
+          ** Edward IV.
+
+          *** Henry VI.
+
+          **** Richard III. was succeeded by Henry VII. who had
+          clearly no claim to the crown from blood. After him it still
+          devolved with irregularity, although uuder the Tudors, the
+          doctrine of hereditary right was as vaguely maintained as
+          before. Thus, a Parliament granted to Henry VIII. the power
+          of regulating the succession by will, and it was by
+          pretending to exercise a similar power under an alleged will
+          of Edward VI. that the unprincipled Northumberland sought
+          the establishment of Lady Jane Grey. Elizabeth, on the same
+          ground, was importuned to appoint a suc-cessor, at
+          intervals, during the last twenty years of her reign; and
+          finally, named the King of Scotland in her last moments.
+          These are strange incidents for the advocates of Divine
+          Right! The fact is, this wretched theory was never formally
+          advocated until the days of James I.; and it may be
+          considered to be one of the precions fruits of that settled
+          connexion between Church and State, of which the Despot,
+          Henry VIII., laid the foun-dation. Yet no Despot ever
+          supported himself steadily on an English throne; and what is
+          there to prove, that such men ever can? Look at King
+          Richard II., he was a finished gentle-man, possessed some
+          taste for literature, and shewed himself as. fond of finery
+          as need be; but he waged war with the common sense of the
+          realm and the rights of the people,--and finally, by
+          entrusting his power to weak, inefficient, and corrupt
+          ministers, roused the anger of a distressed and overtaxed
+          community. Moral--They were beheaded, and he was dethroned.
+
+{184}
+
+     So men of blood, incited by its taste,
+     By lust of rule urged on, laid England waste;
+     Oppression then upon oppression grew,
+     One royal wretch another overthrew;
+     They made a football of the People's crown,
+     And brother-tyrant brother-king pull'd down,
+     Succeeding robberies revenged the past,
+     And every age of crime outdid the last.
+
+     Look on once more--the tangled line survey,
+     By which kings claim to bind men to obey.
+
+     In the right line they say their title lies:
+     But if its twisted?--then the title dies.
+     Look at it!--knotted, spliced in every place!
+     Closely survey the intersected race--
+     So full of violations, such a brood.
+
+     Of false successions, spurious births, and blood;
+     Such perjuries, such frauds, to mount a throne,
+     That Kings might blush their ancestors to own!
+
+{185}
+
+      Oh! but Possession supersedes the Line!
+
+      Indeed!--then king, as king, has Right Divine;
+      And, coy Succession fled from majesty,
+      Makes Usurpation as divine as he;
+      _De Facto is de Jure_, and a throne,
+      To every dog that steals it is his bone!
+
+      Hence tyrants--and from these infected springs,
+      Flows the best title of _the Best of Kings!_ *
+
+          * The Best of Kings (Court slang) the King for the time
+          being.--Many a king has been the worst man of his age, but
+          no king was ever the best. In 1683, the very year of Charles
+          the Second's reign, in which Lord William Russel and
+          Algernon Sydney were murdered under the forms of law, by
+          packed juries, and the king's passive obedient judges--when
+          the throne floated in blood, and the king's manners were
+          notoriously and disgust-ingly sensual and dissolute--in that
+          year, J. Shnrley, M. A. in his 'Ecclesiastical History
+          Epitomised,' gives Charles the title of "the best of kings!"
+          calls his life and reign virtuous! and prays that his days
+          may be as the days of Heaven!--This loyal author calls
+          himself, The Christian reader's "beloved Brother in Christ!"
+          Of the same king, Charles II., Horace Walpole (Lord Orford)
+          gives this character in his Epistle from Florence:--
+          (Dodsley's Collection, vol. iii. p. 92.)
+
+     Fortune, or fair, or frowning, on his soul
+     Could stamp no virtue, and no vice controul!
+
+     Honour or morals, gratitude or truth,
+     Nor taught his ripen'd age, nor knew his youth!
+
+     The care of nations left to whores or chance,
+     Plund'rer of Britain, pensioner of France;
+     Free to buffoons, to ministers denied,
+     He lived an atheist, and a bigot died!
+
+          All kings have parasites and praise; the Press records their
+          actions; and Posterity gives their characters.
+
+{086}
+
+     _Right of Succession_, or what other claim
+     Of right to rule, by whatsoever name
+     Or title call'd, by whomsoever urged,
+     Is in the people's right of choosing merged.
+
+     The right's the People's, and the People's choice
+     Binds kings in duty to obey their voice;
+     The Public Will, the only Right Divine,
+     Sanctions the office, or divides the line;
+     Topples the crown from off the tyrant's head,
+     And puts a king to govern in his stead.
+
+     Tyrant and king are vastly different things--
+     We're robb'd by tyrants, but obey'd by kings!
+
+     If it be ask'd, how the distinction's known,
+     Oppression marks him out--the nations groan,
+     The broken laws, the cries of injur'd blood,
+     Are languages by all men understood! *
+
+          * Tyrants lose all respect for humanity, in proportion as
+          they are sunk beneath it; taught to believe themselves of
+          a different species, they really become so; lose their
+          participation with their kind; and, in mimicking the God,
+          dwindle into the brute! Blind with prejudices as a mole,
+          stung with truth as with scorpions, sore all over with
+          wounded pride like a boil, their minds a heap of morbid
+          proud flesh and bloated humours, a disease and gan-grene in
+          the state, instead of its life-blood and vital principle--
+          foreign despots claim mankind as their property. They regard
+          men crawling on the face of the earth as we do insects that
+          cross our path, and survey the common drama of human life as
+          a fantoccini exhibition got up for tlieir amusement. It is
+          the over-weening, aggravated, intolerable sense of swelling
+          pride and ungovernable self-will that so often drives them
+          mad; as it is their blind fatuity and insensibility to all
+          beyond themselves, that, transmitted through successive
+          generations, and confirmed by regal intermarriages, in time
+          makes them idiots.

+
+     Just laws and liberty make patriot kings;
+     Tyrants and tyranny are self-made things. *
+
+          * Though a Despot be transformed into a limited king, he is
+          in heart and purpose still a despot. He feels duress; he is
+          not at liberty to oppress at his pleasare; and he awaits an
+          opportnnity to exercise 'the Right Divine of Kings to govern
+          wrong;' for he holds the doctrine that "oaths are not to be
+          kept with subjects." In the reign of Richard II. the Duke of
+          Norfolk apprised the Duke of Hereford, that the King
+          purposed their destruction:--
+
+          Hereford.--God forbid!--He has sworn by St. Edward, to be a
+          good Lord to me and the others.
+
+          Norfolk.-- So has he often sworn to me by God's Body: but I
+          do not trust him the more for that!
+
+          Every restored despot has become an unblushing and shameless
+          perjurer; where is there in history an instance to the con-
+          trary?--Once  a Despot, and always a Despot.
+
+          Alfred the Great is the only King in our annals who being
+          guilty of misgovernment, and seeing its evils had the high
+          courage to acknowledge his crime by amendment. At the
+          commencement of his reign he seemed to consider his exalted
+          dignity as an emancipation from restraint, and to have found
+          leisure, even amidst his struggles with the Danes, to
+          indulge the irapetuosity of his passions. His immorality and
+          despotism provoked the censure of the virtuous; he was
+          haughty to his subjects, neglected the administration of
+          justice, and treated with contempt the complaints of the
+          indigent and oppressed. In the eighth year of his reign he
+          was driven from the throne by the Danes. Narrowly escaping
+          death and enduring many hardships, adversity brought
+          reflection. According to the piety of the age, instead of
+          tracing events to their political sources, he referred them
+          immediately to the providence of God; and considered his
+          misfortunes as the instrument with which Divine Justice
+          punished his past enormities. By his prudence and valour he
+          regaiued the throne, and drew np a code of laws by which he
+          ordained the governmeat should be administered. Magistrates
+          trembled at his stern impartiality and inflexibility. He
+          executed forty-four judges in one year for their informal
+          and iniquitous proceedings. Hence their survivors and
+          successors were careful to acquire a competent degree of
+          knowledge, and their decisions became accordant to the law.
+          Discovering that the only real foundation of national
+          happiness is in the enlightenment of the people, he
+          instructed them himself by his writings, endowed
+          establishments for the promotion of Education, and became
+          the guardian and benefactor of his country.*--His virtues
+          were the fruit of early instruction. When he was a child,
+          his mother, Osburga, awakened in him a passion for learning
+          aud knowledge. Holding in her hand a Saxon poem, elegantly
+          written and beautifully illnminated, she offered it as a
+          reward to the first of her children whose proficiency should
+          enable him to read it to her. The emulation of Alfred was
+          excited: he ran to his master, applied to the task with
+          diligence, performed it to the satisfaction of the queen,
+          and received the prize of his industry. His mind thus opened
+          by this excellent woman, she dropped in the seeds of
+          knowledge; by careful culture they grew into wisdom, and
+          Alfred is one of the most illustrious instances of the
+          endless blessings conferred upon man by Education.
+
+          From the banks of the strong hold of Corfe Castle, in
+          Dorsetshire, near Wareham, formerly a station of the Danish
+          barbariaus, one of their successors making good his lodgment
+          in a nameless House denies the justice of Universal
+          Education, forgetful, perhaps, that the benighted savages,
+          his predecessors, were finally expelled by Alfred; that it
+          was the triumph of Knowledge and Liberty over Ignorance and
+          Selfish power; and that Alfred, disdaining to use the
+          advantage whick Education gave him over the rest of the
+          people, othirwise than for their welfare, incessuntly
+          laboured to dispense its benefits to All.

+
+     As government was ever understood
+     To be a measure for the people's good;
+     So when perverted to a wrong intent,
+     It's stark oppression, not a government.
+

+
+     Blest are the days, and wing'd with joy they fly,
+     When kings protect the people's liberty;
+     When settled peace in stated order reigns,
+     And, nor the nation, nor the king complains;
+     If kings may ravish, plunder, and destroy,
+     Oppress the world, and all its wealth enjoy;
+     May harass nations, with their breath may kill,
+     And limit liberty by royal will;
+     Then was the world for ignorance design'd,
+     And God gave kings to blast the human mind;
+     And Kings but general farmers of the land;
+     And men their stock for slaughter at command;
+     Mere beasts of draught, to crouch and be opprest,
+     Whom God, the mighty landlord, form'd in jest.
+
+     Yet who believes that Heaven in vain creates,
+     And gives up what it loves to what it hates;
+     That man's great Maker call'd him into birth,
+     To be destroy'd by tyrant-fiends on earth;
+     That nations are but footstools to a throne,
+     And millions born to be the slaves of one?
+
+     Priestcraft! search Scripture, shew me God's decree,
+     That crime shall rule by his authority.
+
+     Kingcraft! search Scripture too, and from it prove
+     Thy right to ravage from the God of Love. *
+
+          * Priestcraft and Kingcraft are partners in the same firm.
+          They trade together. Kings and conquerors make laws, parcel
+          out lands, and erect churches and palaces for the priests
+          and dignitaries of religion. In return, Priests anoint kings
+          with holy oil, hedge them round with inviolability, spread
+          over them the mysterious sanctity of religion, and, with
+          very little ceremony, make over the whole species as slaves
+          to these Gods upon earth by virtue of Divine Right!

+TO THE READER.
+
+The Slap, at first arranged in the manner, and in every respect in
+imitation, assumed the appearance of a newspaper, except that the
+columns were broken by _cuts_. It was a crown broadside, and the
+agreeable appearance of the stamp was preserved by the subjoined diagram
+being placed at the corner.
+

+
+Doubtless every one who entered into the design, was satisfied with the
+original form of the publication; yet the author has been perplexed
+by numerous applications for an edition in this size. He finds it as
+difficult to account for want of taste as for it; but it being the
+fashion for the minority to be polite to the majority, he bends at last
+to the too general request, and submits The Slap, with a broken spirit,
+to go down, bound, with his other little pieces.

+Original Address
+
+A Bag of political nuts ready cracked, is not only rather dangerous fare
+to serve up, but a man who takes the trouble to crack them, will find
+the kernels cleaner and sweeter for his pains. Though they who run
+may read the greater portion of the present sheet, yet there are a few
+articles that require attention, and two or three arc designed for those
+only who alone can understand them.
+
+My first intention was to parody Slop's paper, 'The Slop-tail,' or 'Much
+Times,' throughout. But he is as vapid as the Marquess of Lunnunderry.
+* What could I do with thoughts as unquotable, as confused, as ill
+conceived, as ill expressed, as that _puissante_ ** Lord's --without
+depth or originality--as plentiful and superficial as duck-weed.
+
+I found not a sparkle of talent in any of Slop's lean 'leaders' to
+re-pay me the trouble of wearisome reading. Under the 'stringent
+necessity' of varying my original plan, yet loth to abandon it
+altogether, I have parodied some of the features common to the
+Slop-pail, and supplied the department I had allotted to an imitation of
+his mindless verbiage with a sketch of his Life--filling the remainder
+of the sheet in my own way. There are discrepancies inseparable from
+this course, but I write to good-humoured readers, who have no objection
+to see the mind as well as the person of a friend in undress, and who
+take as little interest in the decision of the High Court of Criticism
+on things of this sort, as they took in the decision of the 'Court of
+Claims' concerning the 'imposing' ceremony of the coronation, and things
+of that sort.,
+
+The drawings are, as usual, by Mr. George Cruikshank, whose
+able pencil has had greater scope here than in a pamphlet; that size
+would have entirely excluded Dr. Southey's Vision, the
+
+Jack-in-the-Green, and the masterly representation of the Bridge-street gang
+destroying a Free Press, and suspending Liberty, while Slop is working
+his Press to distort and torture Truth.

+THE LIFE OFbDOCTOR SLOP,
+
+AND THE ORIGIN OF THE BRIDGE-STREET GANG.
+
+The origin and the end of this man are alike uncertain. He was sent
+to Oxford when young, as a student destined for holy orders, under the
+patronage of the Bishop of Durham.
+
+'Go thou and seek the house of prayer:
+
+         I to the woodlands bend my way,
+
+          And meet Religion there;
+
+          She needs not haunt the high-arch'd dome to pray,
+
+Where storied windows dim the doubtful day;
+
+           With Liberty she loves to rove'----
+
+These lines, in Mr. Southey's lyric poem, '_written on Sunday Morning_,' *
+express the thoughts of Slop when a college youth.
+
+     * Southey's Minor Poems, vol. i. p. 1S7.
+
+At {196}that time he had a sort of conscience; for, in consequence of
+an honest course of reading, he refused to subscribe to the Thirty-nine
+Articles. Thus disqualifying himself from being a candidate for the
+'imposition of hands' by the Bishop, he for ever relinquished the
+prospect of entrance into the church, and cultivated his mind by reading
+Paine's _Rights of Man._
+
+Fascinated by the writings of Mrs. Mary Wollstoncrofft, more especially
+by her celebrated '_Vindication of the Rights of Woman,_' he assiduously
+sought that lady's acquaintance, and having obtained the desired honour,
+cultivated her intimacy with passionate admiration. On the appearance of
+Mr. Godwin's '_Inquiry concerning Moral and Political Justice_,' he read
+and studied it with doting enthusiasm; the chapters on _Property_, and
+on _the Sexual Intercourse_, were particularly to his taste--the chapter
+on _Sincerity_, not so much. Hungering for a personal friendship with
+the author of the _Political Justice_, who became the husband of Mrs.
+Wollstoncrofft, he humbled himself before him, beseeching permission to
+consider that philosopher as his Gamaliel, and to sit at his feet as
+the least of his disciples. This was granted, and in that school he
+commenced an intimacy with Mr. Thomas Holcroft and his friends. That
+gentleman had just been released from imprisonment, under indictments
+for high treason, with Messrs. Hardy, Horne Tooke, and Thelwall,
+who were tried and acquitted of the charge; and at this time Slop's
+political fervor rose above the temperament of the most hot-blooded
+among the patriots he associated with. It had been fashionable to wear
+the hair long and. tied; he thought this aristocratic, cut his hair off
+to look like a democrat, became a _round-head_, and was called _Citizen
+S_. At length he was marked out from his fellows by the distinguishing
+appellation of '_the Jacobin_,' and he became a _Leveller_. Affixing
+to the words 'Liberty and Equality,' an interpretation of his own, he
+contended with the _Spenceans_, that there could be no real Liberty
+without Equality so he preached the doctrine of _all things in common_;
+and prevailed on a young man who had imbibed some of his notions, to aid
+him in proving its advantages. In an attic chamber in the Temple they
+founded a _community of goods_--lived on short commons --and waited
+on each other. Here Slop lighted the fire, and fetched water from the
+Temple pump for their joint use, till, tired of the pitcher-duty, he
+proposed {197}transferring the undignified office to his companion, who
+declined to accept it; and a fierce quarrel arising in this 'perfect
+state of society,' concerning rights and duties, the Commonwealth of two
+ceased to exist.
+
+In this exigency, moderation, which at one time he seems to have thought
+criminal, became expedient on many accounts. About 1796 he visited
+Scotland, with letters of recommendation to respectable society; yet
+his wild opinions on religion and politics caused him to be disliked by
+some of the most respectable students who held Whig principles, and who,
+still holding them, dislike and shun him now for his extreme violence in
+another direction. When at Edinburgh, he affected singularity of habit
+as well as thought, and paraded the streets, especially the Leith-Walk,
+in a drab dress of romantic simplicity. On his return from Scotland, he
+employed himself in writing for the booksellers. In 1798 he translated
+the play of Don Carlos, from the German of Schiller, and presented his
+friend, Mr. Holcroft, with a copy, who says, that 'he executed his task
+respectably.' * On the 5th of August, in that year, he dined with Mr.
+Godwin and Mr. Parry (the Republican Editor of the Courier Newspaper
+when it was conducted on democratic principles), at the house of Mr.
+Holcroft, where, according to that gentleman's diary, ** he was, 'as
+usual, acute; but pertinacious and verbose. On the 25th of November,
+he wrote to Mr. Holcroft, complaining of neglect, *** who answered by
+denying such intention; and indeed his intimacy with the _coterie_ at
+Mr. Holcroft's, was of the closest nature, and his attachment to
+that philosopher's principles and person so strong, that he proposed
+intermarriage with his family, which was declined. He remained ardently
+devoted to the new philosophy, long after Mr. Holcroft's death,
+and until Mr. Godwin found it convenient to decline his wearisome
+acquaintance. Fickleness and obstinacy, and the exercise of a faculty
+for incessant disputation, rendered his society very tedious to the
+philosophers. Fruitless attempts to repress or soften his pugnacious
+turn, exhausted their patience. In defence of themselves, they
+disregarded and finally cut him;--so {198}that it became the _New
+Times_ with him in philosophy.

+
+He rambled to conceal his discontent, and to get fresh notions and
+fresh friends. A pedestrian tour through Scotland, with letters of
+recommendation, and a pliability of manner accommodated to his new
+views, effected both. He published his _Tour_ in 1801. It is written
+with extreme caution. His real opinions are kept out of the book as much
+as possible; yet they occasionally peep forth; for instance, he says,
+'We seem inspired with enthusiasm to fall down and worship the golden
+image of commerce; let us not wholly submit our feelings to our
+purses, and counters, and ledgers--we may be very rich in products, and
+manufactures, and population, and very poor in the spirits and minds of
+men!' *--he dare not put that in his Slop-pail. In the _Tour_, he speaks
+in praise of the Rev. Sir Henry Moscreiff
+
+Wellwood, a Scottish Baronet of Whig principles, whose daughter he
+afterwards married, whether from _innate love of legitimacy_, or what,
+is unknown. Before he wrote the _Tour_, he procured the degree of LL.D.
+(as the Laureate has done since), and the philosopher, who had refused
+subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles to the Church of England, and
+had been in turn a Republican, a Jacobin, a Leveller, and a Spencean,
+became a Doctor of Laws, and sunk into the wig and gown of an advocate
+in the Ecclesiastical Court! Resuming an intimacy with some young men
+of his own stamp, who knew him at college, they obtained a place for
+him--he was made king's advocate at Malta. So fell Slop. Here ended his
+career of what he called Patriotism. He mistook passionate heat for the
+enthusiasm of genius, a habit of loud talking for talent, a ranting
+way of writing for reasoning, and pertinacity of manner for firmness of
+character. His vain disputations occasioned him to be noticed, and
+this he thought equal to being admired. Conceit of ability rendered him
+covetous of distinction; he acquired it--
+
+               'The Court's a golden, but a. fatal circle,
+               Upon whose magic skirts a thousand devils,
+               In crystal forms sit tempting innocence,
+               And beckon early virtue from its centre.'--
+
+                              Stoddart's Tour, vol. i. p. 12.
+
+The {199}smirks and smiles of courtiers, the tinsel and glitter of
+embroidered coats and waistcoats, the hum and sops- of office, hurried
+him into the train of ministerial menials, as easily as a beggar's
+hungry brat is seduced by the finery of gilt paper, and the sound of the
+shovel and brush, to follow the chimney-sweepers on May-day, through the
+dirty alleys of St. Giles's. His artificial wants were too many to be
+gratified by an even walk in the path of rectitude. When he saw that
+'public principle' was an obstacle to the gratification of his vulgar
+vanity, he suppressed it--
+
+          'He was no Patriot then, nor gave his breath
+          Bravely to speak his mind, and venture death:--
+          For'twas his judgment then--though not in youth--
+          One grain of ease was worth a world of Truth'
+
+                                           Watts.
+
+Notwithstanding this, he remained, secretly, a correspondent to the
+_Monthly Magazine_, and wrote for Sir Richard Phillips.
+
+Vacating his place at Malta in favour of his brother-in-law, and coming
+back to seek his fortune, he scrambled about during a year and a half,
+in Doctors' Commons and among the booksellers, in search of employment,
+till he procured an engagement from the proprietors of _The Times_ as
+a writer in that journal. His labours in this way were ardent, but
+profitable to nobody but himself. On the return of Napoleon from Elba,
+the _ex-republican_ became an admirer of privileged orders, and 'the
+right divine of kings to govern wrong'--glorified the thrones of the
+allied despots--fell flat on his face in worship of legitimacy--and
+affected a beatific vision of the political millenium in the restoration
+of the Bourbons. He soon honoured Napoleon with all the obnoxious
+designations the language could supply. He called him 'a villain, a
+wretch, a rebel, a brigand, a traitor, a fiend, a felon, an incendiary,
+an impostor, an assassin, a viper, a demon, a fool, a living Moloch, a
+bloody dog, and a blackamoor.' * To these and hundreds of other names,
+he prefixed innumerable epithets expressive of disgust and hate. Every
+one but himself saw that such a course must shortly end. The {200}writer
+of this article being forcibly reminded of the cursing of Trim
+in _Tristram Shandy_, ridiculed Slop's _Execratory_, in a little piece
+intituled 'Buonaparte -phobia; or, _Cursing made Easy, &c_. by Dr.
+Slop.' * It not only insured to him the name of SLOP for ever, but
+hastened what was neither intended nor anticipated, his dismissal from
+_The Times_.
+
+     * See the Tract, intituled '_The Origin of Dr. Slops, Name._'
+
+The persecution of the French Protestants on the restoration of
+Louis XVIII. and their massacre at _Nismes_, occasioned the English
+Protestants to interest themselves heartily for their relief. The
+Committee of Dissenters at Dr, Williams's _Library in Red-Cross-street_
+inquired into the facts, published a verifying Report, and took measures
+for sending pecuniary succours. Seeking to earn the wages of his
+prostitution by slavering the hoof of tyranny, and maddened that Bourbon
+bigotry should be obstructed in its operation, Slop denied the truth of
+the statements, vilified the whole body of English Dissenters, imputed
+their humanity to unworthy and scandalous motives, and threw as many
+daring fabrications as his mercenary pen could create in the way of
+their efforts. With undaunted audacity he gave the lie direct to his
+father-in-law, Sir Henry Moncreiff Wellwood, who, in the kindness and
+courage of his heart, became President of a Public Meeting at Edinburgh,
+and inspirited the Protestants of Scotland to co-operate in a national
+subscription for the persecuted. When Slop's slanders were successfully
+repelled, and his artful falsehoods exposed, he withdrew without
+evidencing any other regret than what arose from his having been unable
+to effect his unhallowed purposes.
+
+*****
+
+His first exploit after his expulsion from _The Times_ was, an attempt
+to delude the public by engrafting himself upon a _quacking_ newspaper,
+now known, like himself, by a two-fold name, it being indiscriminately
+called 'The Muck Times,' and 'The Slop Pail.' The imposition succeeded
+only with a few. His writing gave the lie direct to his puffing
+pretensions, and his falsehoods were exposed in the paper from which
+he had been discharged. * He knows full well,' says _The Times_ ( in
+February, 18]7) that 'his articles were rejected {201}from our columns
+on account of the virulence and indiscretion with which they were
+written; and that, for more than twelve months preceding, whatever
+articles attracted notice by their merit, were exclusively the
+productions of other gentlemen.--_There are in the office, sacks full of
+his rejected writings_; which, if they were published, would exhibit
+an accurate criterion of his puffed-off abilities; _the sale of our
+Journal increased the more, the less he wrote; and since he has ceased
+from writing altogether, has extended with a rapidity of which we have
+known no example, since we have had the management of it_. This and
+other statements were stunning blows to him, and remained unnoticed,
+because they were unanswerable.
+
+     * This squib is reprinted entire in a pamphlet, intituled
+     'The Origin of Dr. Slops Name.'
+
+His overweening pride received another shock through his new friends the
+_legitimates_. He went to Paris, and applied to be introduced at court;
+but 'The Bourbon' refused to receive him! Yes! refused to receive
+him--Slop; that Slop who, to gain the favour of his Most Christian
+Majesty, when he was in England, had 'tainted himself with the
+plague-spot of Legitimacy, till he was leprous all over; in whose
+inmost soul it had fixed its mortal sting, and, like an ugly spider,
+entangled him in its slimy folds, brooding on him as on its own poison.'
+** He--who had abandoned principle, was abandoned by friends, had
+incurred the world's contempt, and had sold himself to the devil in the
+service of legitimacy--_he_ to be refused permission to bow over the
+hand of Louis XVIII!--_he_ to be despised and rejected by that same
+Louis who had received Mr. Street, the late Editor of the _Courier_,
+with open arms, and conferred on him the order of the _Lys!_--this was
+the unkindest cut of all! He returned to England in the last stage of
+mortification--a bye-word--a reproach--a laughing stock!

+
+Harnessed with other hacks to the machine of tyranny, he must answer to
+the lash of the driver, and drag it along, or be trampled over. Smack
+went the whip, and on went Slop. To support the new order of things in
+France, it was necessary, in addition to the bayonets of foreigners,
+that the press there should be put under a censorship, and that the
+_free_ press of England should make {202}a monstrous experiment to write
+up the advantages of a shackled press in France. Dr. Slop undertook the
+task, and joining to himself another Doctor, the Poet Laureate, they
+united with persons of similar qualifications in France, and commenced
+operations by announcing a publication called the '_Correspondent_,'
+which was to appear at London in the English, and at Paris in the
+French language on the same day. It was conducted on the plan of
+a 'Class-meeting' among the Methodists, where each relates his
+'experience.' But neither the French nor the English cared a _sous_
+about the political 'experience' of Doctor Slop, Doctor Southey, or
+the mad Viscount Chateaubriand. Besides, the Poet Laureate, instead of
+telling his own 'experience,' told, a long story about the Rev. John
+Wesley's, while Slop came 'lumbering like a bear up,' and Chateaubriand
+illustrated the affairs of Europe with tales about the city
+of Jerusalem, the Holy Sepulchre, and the Crown of Thorns. The
+'Correspondent' fell still-born amid the laughter of the few people of
+both nations who knew of its coming forth, and perhaps there are only
+five persons in England who remember it even by name--Messrs. Longman,
+Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, who had the honour of the profit and loss
+account.
+
+Devoid of political principle, Slop's real source of action is pure
+selfishness. His end and aim are antisocial, because his _Slop-pail_
+can only exist during political strife. He would inflame the passions of
+ministers and their minions, to vex and to harass the people, that the
+people may be irritated into resistance against persecution. He and
+his fellow-laboureres vilified and goaded whole communities of starving
+manufacturers. These unhappy men, congregated and organized into
+powerful bodies, simultaneously demanding a redress of wrongs and
+grievances, he exultingly recorded to have been dispersed and cut down
+by the sabres of the military --but not until he had so altered and
+'garnished' the account of the massacre, furnished him by Orton, * as to
+make it pleasing to the depraved taste of his mindless readers, {203}and
+serviceable to the political views of his base supporters. This was his
+harvest; but he has reaped that, and is sowing another.
+
+     * Henry Orton, not Horatio Orton the Informer to the Gang,
+     but his brother. This Henry Orton was a witness for the
+     Prosecu-tion against Mr. Henry Hunt and others, at York; and
+     when cross-examined by Mr. Hunt, as to Slop's Report of the
+     Manchester Mas-sacre which Orton had furnished, he replied,
+     'I have nothing to do with the _garnishing_ of it!'--See the
+     Trials at York.
+
+Pending the prosecution of the Queen, the Rev. Solomon Piggott, Curate
+of St. James's, Clerkenwell, and St. Antholin's, Watling-Street, a man
+of weak and restless mind, conceived the idea of publishing Caricatures,
+by Public Subscription, in ridicule of her Majesty and her supporters.
+He communicated this design to Dr. Slop, who engaged heartily in the
+plan. Subscribers were advertised for, and were formed into a body,
+called 'The Loyal Association,' and Mr. Charles Bicknell, of No.
+3, Spring Garden Terrace, the Solicitor to the Admiralty, was the
+Treasurer. Piggott wrote maudlin prose and wretched verse, and
+illustrated his unintellectual labours with coloured caricatures. These
+were issued to the world through a Publisher of Obscenity, while they
+were powerfully puffed by Slop in his Slop-pail, and Piggott himself
+cringed, his way to Court, and presented the talentless trash to
+his Majesty in person, who received it most graciously; and, as an
+encouragement to his labours, subscribed for forty sets of one of his
+works at a guinea each. But the public judgment refused the rinsings
+of the sycophant parson's brain; and the united efforts of 'the Loyal
+Association' being inadequate to produce a single article of ability
+from the press, they turned their thoughts towards an attack upon the
+Press itself. They were deplorably 'poor in the spirits and minds of
+men,' but 'their purses, and counters, and ledgers,' were productive,
+and at one of their meetings they abandoned the project of a Series of
+Publications, and determined to commence a Series of Prosecutions. The
+notorious John Reeves, a plentifully-endowed placeman, who had thrown
+the country into a state of alarm by a Loyal Association in 1793,
+entered into these views; but, as the term Loyal had acquired
+an unfavourable odour, they changed their name from 'the Loyal
+Association,' to 'the Constitutional Association.' Piggott's Treasurer,
+Mr. Bicknell, with John Reeves (both lawyers), got Sir John Sewell (also
+a lawyer), a pensioner in the Red Book, to become the president of
+the confederacy. They appointed Charles Murray (another lawyer), their
+'Honorary Secretary', a very acceptable post to a hungry attorney,
+who had quartered part of his family in public situations. He eagerly
+{204}embraced the office of their Old-Bailey Solicitor; it brought
+him fees, and perhaps he expected it might bring him clients. They were
+joined by Longueville Clarke (also a lawyer), and the son of a person
+holding an appointment in a Government Establishment. John Poynder (also
+a lawyer) resident in Bridewell, to which, as well as Bethlem (two other
+Government Establishments), he is Clerk and Attorney, had been compelled
+to resign his office of Secretary to the Bible Society, and was at full
+leisure to become an active confederate. Intercourse with the prisoners
+in Newgate had given a certain turn to his views; a drinker of port
+wine himself, he had descanted, before a Committee of the House of
+Commons, on the wickedness of common gin; with a good comfortable
+house over his head, at the public expense, he had disturbed poor old
+apple-women who sought an independent living 'in summer's heat and
+winter's cold he had also a horror, upon public principle, of street
+organs in the evening; and, like his friend Slop, he had experienced
+the mortification of having his defamatory, and 'mewling and puling'
+writings rejected by '_The Times_'--the new concern was quite to his
+taste. Slop (himself a lawyer) became the Horn-boy of the Gang,--to blow
+the 'great news,' the 'extraordinary new's,' of their proceedings--to
+puff their attacks upon the Free Press of the People--to assist in
+raising the flame of alarm throughout the country--and to give the
+earliest intelligence of their Prosecutions. This paid Slop well, for
+the trouble he had with Parson Solomon, in laying the Plot; for, as the
+adherents to it increased, they took especial care to give their support
+and influence to the hireling paper, from whence Slop derives the means
+of supporting his tawdry existence. By these measures, the weak-minded
+were terrified out of subscriptions for anti-social objects; and the
+selfish crew having gathered around them the chief priests, and the
+pharisees, and some of the fattest amongst the placeholders, pensioners,
+and tax-eaters, who exist upon the people's labour, they fitted up an
+office at Walker's Hotel, No. 6, New Bridge Street, Blackfriars, for the
+purpose of more conveniently carrying on the imposture. From this
+'Den' they put forth a specious Address, which is rendered into pretty
+intelligible language in subsequent pages of this publication. *
+
+     * Pages 22-4.
+
+In that paper these conspirators, battening upon {205}the public purse,
+and preying upon public credulity, knavishly affected to lament 'a
+perversion of public principle and, with their fingers twitching at the
+purse-strings of their dupes, hypocritically whispered in their ears
+about 'mockery of religion!'--like the hacknied procuress who, to effect
+her designs upon innocence, pretends an extraordinary affection for
+virtue. What shameful pimping to the whiffling understandings of the
+timid! What artful pandering to pampered bloatedness! What an insolent
+appeal from the minions of power, and the overgorged feeders upon the
+public wealth, to their fellow parasites and gluttons! How dare they to
+talk of 'public principle? whose weight increases that enormous burthen
+of taxation which depresses the labourer to the very earth, and enters
+as iron into the soul of every industrious man in the country--how
+dare they to talk of '_public principle._' Then as to their cant about
+'mockery of religion'--suppose the writer of this article had published
+at his house, 45, Ludgate-hill, the following--

+afford amusement to the readers of the paper!' *

+Will 'His readers' explain, whether they were amused by 'the Curtain

+the Psalms were sung, that have rolled on to us in the full majesty of

+prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed
+his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood
+of this just person; see ye to it. **--The recollection of this most
+affecting renunciation of art or part in the death of Christ, is brought
+to the mind, in the Official Paper of 'The Constitutional Association,'

+
+Will 'the readers,' for whose 'amusement' Dr. Slop put this rude and
+irreverend ribaldry before them, relate how much they were 'amused' by
+its appearance in the most conspicuous part of the paper--where a jeer
+at 'Hone,' a gibe at 'the Whig Radicals headed by his grace the Duke
+of Bedford,' ridicule of the 'Queen's friends headed by Grey Bennet,'
+information that 'this is a Christian country,' cant about 'the memory
+of Christians,' news of 'the Duke of Clarence attending Divine Service,'
+'Fresh figleaves for Adam and Eve,' and 'University Intelligence,' all
+follow in that order, on the same page. Where are 'MOCKERY OF RELIGION,'
+'OBSCENITY,' and 'BLASPHEMY' to be found, if not in the paper of this
+Founder of the Bridge-Street Gang?
+
+This varnished hypocrite is said to be a gentleman:--it may be so.
+The article, so called, can be easily manufactured by a tailor and a
+dancing-master, and a few lessons in the school of Chesterfield. A head,
+powdered and erect, a solemn stalk, a bow to people of certain rank, the
+cut to people of another rank, and an affected condescension to those
+termed inferiors, will procure any man the reputation of being genteel,
+among the groundlings. Such gentlemen as these swarm in shoals, from
+the _Bridge-Street-Gang Informer_ to the Marquess secretary for foreign
+affairs; the appearances that constitute these personages are usual and
+essential to every adventurer.
+
+When {208}Slop parted with his integrity, he lost his selfrespect.
+Attacking the honesty he secretly envies, and has not the courage to
+imitate, he has nothing to compensate him for a comfortless mind, but
+an empty consequence among fools and knaves, which yields no repose. His
+appearance in the Slop-pail is ludicrous. Affecting a semblance to which
+he has no real pretension, he looks like a nightman in a cocked hat, who
+pulls up his frill at every discharge of muck, to show his gentility.
+His case is a common one. He rose from the bottom of society by foul
+self-inflation, and floats a filthy bubble among the scum upon the
+surface.
+
+A minion of ministers, a parasite to despotism throughout the world,
+public virtue is the object of his unprincipled hate and unsparing
+abuse. Hence, there is not a 'public principle' that his mendacity has
+not 'perverted;' not a man of disinterested public conduct that he has
+not vilified; not a measure of advantage to the country, emanating
+from such men, that he has not derided; not a measure of ministerial
+profligacy that he has not promoted; not a public job that he has not
+bolstered; not a public knave that he has not shielded; not an inroad
+upon the constitution that he has not widened; not a treason against
+the people's liberties that he has not advocated; not a sore upon the
+people's hearts that he has not enlarged.

+DR. SLOP'S OBSCENITY.
+
+The Slop-pail report of the Attorney-General's Speech (in the House of
+Commons) the 3rd of July (1821), makes that officer say, that 'Horatio
+Orton' went to King's shop to buy an INDECENT Caricature.' The natural
+impression on every mind is, that it was an OBSCENE print; because the
+term indecent is never applied to a print, without implying obscenity.
+It was not only quite in character for _Slop_, who amused his readers
+with the obscenity of 'FRESH FIG-LEAVES FOR ADAM AND EVE,' but it suited
+his purpose as a Member of the Bridge-Street Gang, to fix OBSCENITY
+upon a political caricature. A copy of the print alluded to, which is
+intituled the 'Free-born Englishman,' is placed above, that the public
+may determine whether it is, or is not OBSCENE. Every one who looks at
+it will naturally be astonished at the impudence of the imputation, and
+some perhaps be induced to call the utterer by that short but natural
+appellation which no honest man in society ever applied but to a
+miscreant, who ought to have it burnt in upon his forehead as a mark
+to avoid him by. A 'curtain' before this print, to save Slop from the
+infamy its appearance brands him with, would be more serviceable to him
+now, than, it is to be hoped, his 'CURTAIN BEFORE POTIPHARS WIFE' was
+amusing to his readers,

+
+PRESIDENT--SIR JOHN SEWEL, Knt. LL.D.
+
+ADDRESS.
+
+[_The following is a Parody upon the 'Address' OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL
+ASSOCIATION, a nefarious Conspiracy for creating alarm in the minds of
+the timid, and obtaining money upon false pretences. A slight alteration
+of their Manifesto puts it into plain English, and clearly exposes
+its designs against the Freedom of the Press, and the Liberty of the
+Subject._]
+
+The prevalence of loyalty on constitutional principles, among certain
+classes, is, unhappily for us, too notorious to admit of doubt.
+
+Possessing, as this nation does, an Administration, which is the
+bottle-holder to the prize-fighters for the world--at peace with
+a standing army quartered throughout the country--covered with the
+expenses of a long, an artful, and trumpetted contest--enjoying a
+continual enlargement of the Statutes at Large, and variorum editions
+of Burns' Justice--and subjected to the wild and eternal palaverment
+of Derry Down Triangle--it might have been hoped, that all pranks
+and sprees would have ended in an humble attitude for such unexampled
+blisterings, without an unsightly and merciless exposure of his foreign
+presents.
+
+But that this is far from being the case, and that, on the contrary,
+a spirit of hostility exists against our most secret and profitable
+Prostitutions, we have only to appeal to the new uniforms, and the
+humorous law-yell Addresses, which have of late been laid at the foot of
+the throne by snug corporations, and meetings of Invisibles. Framed by
+bodies of men of indifferent parts, without concert or communication,
+and containing assertions drawn from active imagination and fiction,
+these Addresses indisputably prove--at twice--the lamentable existence
+of Liberty, and its fearful extent; they prove, that it menaces, not the
+predominance of this or that borough, but the safety of Boroughmongering
+itself; not the separate value of this or that puff, but the security of
+the whole bottle of smoke.
+
+The consequences which have already resulted from the propagation of
+public principle, are but too obvious. Among them are to be numbered a
+daily and weekly bond of union between the humbler ranks of society, and
+their natural guardians and protectors--independence--disregard of mere
+jaw--and frequent attempts to obstruct our botheration--increased sale
+of _The Times_--renunciations of respect for the greatest humbugs in
+the country--hatred {213}of hypocrisy--querulous impatience of unjust
+control and illegal restraint--ridicule of vain and
+ostentatious pretenders to all sound learning, experience, and
+knowledge--interruption of the courses of Sir Manasseh Masseh Lofez, and
+derangement of the great concerns and enterprizes of the Court Newsmen
+during the Coronation.
+
+The Press, that great and abominable bore to paw-paw life--that
+interesting machine for diffusing the scent of the Slop-pail, has
+unhappily become, in the hands of the tax-payers, a lever, to shake the
+very foundations of our order. Its power, which within the last century
+has been multiplied a hundred fold, may now be said to reign paramount
+over vice; and to those friends to themselves, who dig deep into the fat
+of the land, it cannot but be matter of serious alarm to observe, that
+a very large proportion of our periodical publications is under the
+direction either of avowed enemies of the close boroughs, or of persons
+whose sole principle of action is opposed to our own private and
+self-sell interest. Every heart and voice is employed with daily
+increasing boldness to render the people acquainted with the proceedings
+of the borough-mongers--to show them that they are not represented
+by those whom they have not elected--to seduce them from their long
+affliction and allegiance to our sovereignty; and finally, to bring
+about a Reformation, on which the prosperity, the internal happiness,
+and the political greatness of the empire, must inevitably be
+established--and our interests be sacrificed.
+
+As it is clear, that isolated and single-handed exertion is utterly
+inadequate to more than a grope at the good things arising from the
+present state of disorder, and that we should not, perhaps, get a
+mouthful a-piece; so it is to be feared, that the government and
+legislature might render our contest for them difficult, without an
+active, zealous, and persevering botheration against the reformingly
+disposed individuals of the community, which botheration, to be
+effectual, must be a running fire, and a continued insult towards such
+individuals.
+
+Persuaded that by these means alone the said good things can be
+arrested; and feeling that to arrest them, if possible, is our bounden
+duty, the Members of this Society will immediately throw the country
+into alarm and riot; they have therefore adopted the following
+Resolutions:
+
+1st. That they will use their best exertions to maintain Mr. Murray, and
+to support the due execution of his law.
+
+2nd. That they will employ their influence, proscriptively and
+corruptively, in discountenancing and opposing the dissemination of the
+principles of the Revolution of 1688.
+
+3rd. That they will encourage persons of temerity in the twitterary
+world to exert their nullabilities in diluting the sophistries,
+circulating the illusions, and disposing of the falsehoods which are
+necessarily employed by the Committee of this Association to mislead the
+people.
+
+4th That they will resort to such expedients as Mr. Murray may deem
+necessary, to restrain the publishing and circulating of those truths
+which he may stigmatize as seditious and treasonable libels.
+
+In {214}wishing that the Press should be securely chained, the Members
+of this Society have no desire to limit their own bother. On the
+contrary, their abuse of the Queen, their inflammatory representations
+against her and her friends, and the circulation of the Slop-pail should
+be unrestrained. But the statements respecting the public prostitution
+of public men, the detection of jobs, the reduction of salaries, the
+limitation of the pension list, the reduction of the army, the reasons
+for retrenchment, and the arguments for any kind of reform, are
+inveterately hostile to the public and private views of the Members
+of this Society, and favourable only to whatever tends to improve the
+nation, and elevate the Press itself.--This system must be suppressed.
+
+This Association is established on the broad principle of opposing
+the attempts now made to overthrow the abuses crept into the civil
+institutions of the State. It has, therefore, been determined,
+
+1st. To establish a Fee Fund for the use and application of Mr. Murray,
+as he shall see fit.
+
+2nd. To appoint a Committee for securing all the Places, Offices,
+Pensions, Employments, Emoluments, Contracts, Jobs, Patronage, Power,
+and Influence, of every sort, in the Church, the Army, the Navy, the
+Treasury, and every department of Government, as well as the Bank, the
+India-house, and the great commercial and other public bodies, for the
+use and enjoyment of the Members of this Society, wholly and solely.
+
+3rd. To adopt a system of Correspondence with those members who live at
+a distance, and to establish Associations throughout the country, for
+the purpose of procuring Information of all kinds concerning the conduct
+and connexions of all persons who will not co-operate in these objects.
+
+Most earnestly, therefore, does this Society call upon all to whom a
+maintenance, out of the public purse, is dear, upon those who value the
+places they hold at the expense of the country, or the permanence of
+the present Administration, to join them in promoting these objects and
+principles. IF THE SOCIETY BE ONCE ESTABLISHED, it will be enabled to
+institute AN INQUISITION INTO THE PRIVATE CONCERNS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL
+IN THE KINGDOM--turn the great body of the people into SPIES AND
+INFORMERS upon each other--and, by ANTI-SOCIALIZING THE WHOLE
+COMMUNITY--secure to the Society an ASCENDANCY IN CHURCH AND STATE, and
+an ultimate assumption of all THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT. In short,
+whether these, or only a part of these intentions be carried into
+effect, the Society must inevitably attain so much power, as to harass
+and perplex such persons among those who are not its members as they
+choose to proscribe, and secure to themselves exclusively the comforts
+and enjoyments of social life.

+
+THE NEW DEVIL UPON TWO STICKS.
+
+Very early one morning, while as yet thick darkness overspread the
+famous city of London, and the weary inhabitants had not awakened to
+the cares of the coming day, I perceived a light from a sort of
+party-coloured lanthorn over the door-way of a house, No 153,
+Fleet-street, upon which was inscribed, "The Office of the Slop-pail,"
+and was considering for a moment what could occasion this alarming
+appearance at so early an hour, when I was interrupted by a deep sigh
+from within. I at first thought it was a nocturnal illusion; but being
+interrupted again in the same manner, I took it for something real, and
+could not help crying out--"What devil is it that sighs here?"
+
+"It is I, good Sir," answered a voice which had something in it of
+cynical querulousness; "I have been confined in the _Slop-pail_ for some
+months past, against my will. In this house lives Dr. Slop."
+
+"Slop!" I exclaimed, "what my political godchild?"
+
+"Ah! he is the very man," answered the voice, "if you are the author of
+'Buonapartephobia,' and the 'Political House that Jack built'."
+
+"And {216}they call him Punch. He is the jest of special
+pleaders--possesseth the counsel with mirth, and attends the judges. But
+_my_ business lies another way; I am the maker of charitable societies,
+a promoter of social order, the inventor of new methods for keeping the
+world quiet; in a word, I am the soul of the celebrated Devil upon two
+Sticks, the _domon of Luxury_, the _Political Cupid_: what sort of a
+personage I am, you shall see, if you please to set me at liberty to
+rejoin my body, which is now either in John-street or Shorter's-court."
+
+"Good _Mr. Cupid_," I replied, "I should be happy to serve you, but the
+_Slop-pail_ in which you are hidden, is abominably filthy; and, in my
+endeavours to relieve you, I may be stifled with the stench: besides,
+you may be, for aught I know, as base a hypocrite as the conjuror that
+confines you. I should wish to know how you got in, and by what power he
+holds you, if you are not as vile as he is."
+
+"Ah, do not leave me! For the sake of humanity release me," screamed the
+_Spirit_.
+
+He had scarcely uttered these words, when Dr. Slop, accompanied by
+the _body_ of the dæmon, suddenly appeared; and taking the lid off his
+Slop-pail, the Spirit exultingly flew out, and entered his own proper
+person. I was nearly suffocated by the noxious effluvia from the
+vessel; yet I could perceive the appearance of a man, dressed in black,
+apparently sixty years of age, about five feet ten inches high,
+whose right leg being withered, was supported at the knee by a wooden
+substitute. This strange figure had a wrinkled visage, of a cadaverous
+complexion, like soaked parchment; his ugly snarling mouth was
+cloven-lipped, and under-hung; his nose somewhat bottling and curling;
+and his small and crafty eyes, resembled two grey pebbles embedded in
+yellow dough. The top of his head was bald; the hair at the back and
+sides, thin, and cut short, was pomatumed and powdered. He supported
+himself by a crutch, which appeared to me, a gallows; and crossing
+Fleet-street with rapid strides, this _New Devil upon two Sticks_,
+ascending the steps of Walker's Hotel, by the aid of Dr. _Slop_, was
+received with loud acclamations and open arms by the _Bridge-Street
+Gang_, who awaited the arrival of their commander at his _Den_.
+
+"I {217} am," I replied. "But pray how came you in the Slop-pail?"
+
+"Ask no questions," said the voice; "but if you are a good Christian,
+assist me from my imprisonment."
+
+"What are you?" I inquired, somewhat confused at this uncommon
+adventure.
+
+"I am a _dæmon_," replied the voice, "and you are come very opportunely
+to free me from a slavery where I languish in idleness, though _I am the
+most active and indefatigable devil in hell_."
+
+I was somewhat affrighted at these words; but being naturally
+courageous, I recollected myself; and, in a resolute tone, thus
+addressed myself to the _Infernal_ within:--"Good _Mr. Devil!_ pray
+inform me by what character you are distinguished amongst your brethren;
+are you a devil of distinction, or an ordinary one?"
+
+"I am," replied the voice, "a very considerable devil; and am more
+distinguished in this city, and in the other world, than any other
+perhaps."
+
+I replied, "You may be the daemon which we call Jonatkins."
+
+"No," replied the spirit; "he is the tormentor of the Livery."
+
+"Are you then Turtle?" I exclaimed.
+
+"Fie!" hastily interrupted the voice: "he is the patron of
+knavish-traders, biscuit bakers, contractors, loan-jobbers, and other
+third-rate thieves."
+
+"Dear devil!--it may be you are Sid.?"
+
+"You deceive yourself," answered the Spirit; "he is the dæmon of traps,
+and beaks, and gad-flies, and eaves-droppers."
+
+"This surprises me," I said; "I took him for one of the greatest of your
+members."
+
+"He is one of the least," replied the dæmon; "you have no true notion of
+our hell."
+
+"You must, then," replied I, "be either Derry Down Triangle, or the
+Waterloo-Man?"
+
+"Oh! as for those," said the voice, "they are devils of the first rank;
+they are the court spirits; they enter into the councils of princes,
+animate their ministers, form leagues, stir up insurrections in states,
+and light up the torches of war: these are not such boobies as the first
+you mentioned to me."
+
+"Ah! tell me, I entreat you," said I, "what post has Diabolus Regis?"
+
+"He is the froth of the law, the mere foam of the bar," replied the

+WHERE SHALL I DINE?
+
+     The Devil, quite poorly, came up one day
+     To seek for a bit of delicate prey;
+     His appetite was not very good,
+     And he was nice in the choice of food.
+
+     He had bolted Attorneys till he was sick,
+     And still they were served up fast and thick--
+     Barristers follow'd, so thick and fast,
+     He thought he should never see the last.
+
+     Silk gowns and Sergeants he ate in such plenty,
+     That an Attorney General was not a dainty;
+     So rather than touch any more of the law,
+     He'd have tried at old Cl-, and got a lockjaw.
+
+     Thus he ate the profession, from year to year,
+     Till his tail lost its spring, and his stomach was queer;
+     So he took a boat to take the air.
+     And landed at Bridge-street, and paid his fare.
+
+     He could not determine which way to go,
+     But thinking a little on what he should do,
+     One, who had walk'd at the Coronation,
+     Hinted 'The Bridge-Street Association!'
+
+'Ho! ho!' said he, 'I forgot!' and his tail Whisk'd about with delight;
+'I shall _now_ have a meal!
+
+'First there's Murray, ah! ah!--and to take off the taste 'Of the
+_lawyer_--I'll give him an exquisite baste.
+
+'Then there's Sharp!--what a treat! I must speak to the cook!--'And
+Sewell! Reeves! Bicknell! Clarke! Reynolds! Price! Brook! 'Bridges!
+Flower! Sikes! Atkins! Jacks! Poynder! Slop! Croly!--'By my hoof I shall
+_dine_--and at night I'll be jolly!'
+
+     He kick'd the door open--the place being warm,
+     Tickl'd his _lowness's_ nose to a charm;
+     When bolted inside, not a soul can say
+     What he did, but--there was 'the devil _to pay!_'
+     Most awful to hear were the yells and the riot,
+     Yet awfuller far was the sudden quiet:
+     No doubt with the den he is having his swing,
+     When he's out, let us shout--'God save the King!'

+like himself" to wait upon His Majesty, and guard his noble person.
+These he invested with green, yellow, and other colours; and as though
+they were not gaudy enough, they bedecked themselves with scarfs,
+ribbons, and laces, adding gold rings, precious stones, and other
+jewels. They also had hobby-horses, dragons, and other whimsies, and
+with piping and drumming, and bells jingling, they skirmished their

+wanted and no more) you should see ninety-nine of them gathering all

+winter whilst this one was devouring, throwing about, and wasting it;

+pieces; if you should see this, you would see nothing more than what

+VICTORY OF PETERLOO.
+
+A MONUMENT is proposed to be erected in commemoration of the
+achievements of the MANCHESTER YEOMANRY CAVALRY, on the 16th August,
+1819, against THE MANCHESTER, MEETING of Petitioners for Redress of
+Wrongs and Grievances, and Reform in Parliament. It has been called a
+_battle_, but erroneously; for, the multitude _was unarmed_, and made
+no resistance to the heroes _armed_; there was no contest--it was a
+_victory_; and has accordingly been celebrated in triumph. This event,
+more important in its consequences than the Battle of Waterloo, will be
+recorded on the monument, by simply stating the names of the officers
+and privates successfully engaged, on the one side; and on the other,
+the names of the persons killed, and of the six hundred maimed and
+wounded in the attack and pursuit; also the names of the captured, who
+are still prisoners in His Majesty's goals; with the letter of thanks,
+addressed to the victors, by His Majesty's Command.
+
+It {226}is further proposed, that Meagher's Trumpet shall be melted
+down, and that the brass shall be carefully applied to the purpose of
+multiplying an appropriate design to be distributed among the warriors
+who distinguished themselves on the occasion, and to be worn by each as

+THE QUEEN'S DEATH
+

+
+This Dagger my sceptre, and Persecution my crown!'
+
+King Henry IV.
+
+*****
+
+[NOTE.--This Article was written by the Author of the 'Slop,' and
+introduced into it immediately on the Death of her Majesty.]
+
+*****
+
+Her Majesty _died by the dagger of Persecution_. Her Persecutors,
+unable to conceal the fact that _she has been hurried to her Grave_,
+hypocritically whine over "the wounds themselves have made," and, like
+the flying felon, who, to elude his pursuers, cries "Stop thief!" they
+huddle up their knives, and charge her friends and advisers with being
+her destroyers! "_Kissing the gashes that bloodily do yawn upon their
+faces_," they call her defenders and protectors "a faction" and charge
+this _faction_ with being her assassins! Execrable villains! Was it this
+"faction" brought her from Germany? Was she _married_ by this "faction?"
+Were her _conjugal rights denied her_ by this "faction?" Was she
+deserted and _licensed_ to her "_inclinations_" by this "faction?" Was
+she _spied upon_ by this "faction?" Was _her character impeached_ by
+this "faction:" Was _the late King's friendship_ for her at that period
+caused by a "faction?" Was _her child_ torn from her by a "faction?" Was
+_she tricked out of the country_ by a "faction:" Was her name _omitted
+upon her daughter's coffin_ by a "faction?" Was the {229}"honourable"
+_Milan Commission_ issued by the "faction?" Was the horde of miscreants
+who vomited forth their _disgusting and obscene perjuries_ against
+her--were these collected by this "faction?" Was her _Trial_ in the
+House of Lords, amid the gibes and jests, and scoffs and sneers, and the
+taunt of _Ferocity_--was this the act of "faction?" Was the spiritual
+and temporal _refusal _ to place her name in _the Liturgy_ the act of
+this "faction?" Was the _refusal to crown her_, or to assign her a place
+in the ceremonial of her husband's Coronation, or to permit her presence
+to witness it, or _her expulsion from the doors_, or the rancorous
+_insults_ she sustained that day, were these from the "faction?" NO!
+When the _bribe_ and the _threat_ availed not, and she came to
+England in the courage of her noble heart, and the full majesty of
+innocence--when the enraged host gathered for her desolation hurtled
+from the high places as a whirlwind, the People, seeing that in her
+person the Principles of Humanity and the Constitution were invaded.,
+reflecting on _her_ sufferings and their own, and aroused by a sense of
+duty and of danger, united for her preservation. Animated by the Justice
+of their cause, and _headed by_ the Press, they read a moral lesson to
+her deadly persecutors, at which they turned pale, and from which they
+shrunk back in dismay! The archers shot her sorely, but the People saved
+her from swift destruction. This offence was never to be forgiven. They
+who had elevated the Queen above the craft of _Priestianity_ and the
+cruelty of _Court Selfishness_, were more exposed to attack than her
+whom they had preserved. Her enemies rallied to assail her friends.
+If we seek the names of the assailants from among the Members of the
+Bridge-Street Gang, a formidable list might be selected. There we should
+find the slanderous Blacow, and at the head of the muster-roil might
+be placed Slop. This "_wretch_" and his Gang, commenced _Prosecutions_
+against the humblest of the Queen's friends, while the _hireling_
+presses foamed into a settled _Persecution_ against her and them. The
+Slop-pail frothed up its malignant spume; official poison _Croked_ forth
+from the Courier; the organ of the _Fashionable World_ discharged his
+filthy ribaldry; and the assaults of a band of _obscene wretches_,
+Sunday after Sunday, were defended and aided by the prostituted pen of
+Slop. In violation of the sanctity which even savages attach to _the
+chambers of death_, some of the heartless fiends who dogged her through
+life, and hurried her "_to the house appointed far all living_," pursue
+their remorseless warfare beyond the grave. Others (following the
+example of their abettors, who, in mockery of death itself, put the
+signs of mourning upon the outsides of their houses, while they chuckle
+with joy within), _now_ that they have consummated their crime, make
+a merit of not preying upon her dead body! Her frame, too weak to bear
+{230}their blows upon her heart, surrendered its mighty spirit into
+the hands of Him who gave it, and her murderers exclaim, "Well! she is
+_gone--at last_; let us bury all animosities _with her!_" BRUTAL TAUNT!
+They hoisted the black flag of unrelenting and deadly hate against her
+as long as she lived--they have exterminated her, and they hang out
+a white one, crying Peace! Peace! where there is no Peace! They have
+floated themselves to the favour of their employers in her blood, and
+the guilty villains, retreating to their den to celebrate their horrible
+triumph, pray us not to disturb their secret orgies with our clamours!
+
+It is said, that only a few hours before she ceased to breathe, she
+spoke of the modes her savage adversaries had successfully put in
+practice, of separating worthy people from her society: one of which
+was, _to deter them from visiting her, by propagating the most atrocious
+calumnies against her, and them_. Never was human being attacked
+with more malignant ferocity by _the Furies of the Press_, than this
+noble-minded and innocent lady--never will they perpetrate a fouler
+Murder! _Instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. O, my soul!
+come not thou into their secret!_
+
+Her dying declaration, "THEY HAVE DESTROYED ME!" will be remembered long
+after her destroyers. Her blood is on their heads. They allowed her no
+peace on earth. _Now--she hears not the voice of the oppressor--she is
+where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary are at rest_.
+
+In fixedness of courage immovable, in clearness of intellect unrivalled,
+she shone on earth as the polar-star in the firmament of her sex, and in
+her utmost need, they circled round her as the sun of their glory.
+Her wrongs and her fate are indelibly registered in our annals. Honest
+historians of after-times will narrate them truly, and unpensioned Bards
+embalm her to posterity.
+
+The Queen's dying request was, to lie in the same tomb with her
+child--sad experience taught her to anticipate a refusal from her
+relentless enemies!
+
+     "Let her be buried in the King's highway,
+     For on her heart they trod, the while she liv'd;
+     And, buried once, why not upon her head?"--
+
+Men and Women of England! have ye not a little Grave, Her _Spirit_ was
+with the People while she lived--her body belongs to them now that she
+is no more.

+
+THE DEATH-LIGHT OF CAROLINE'S HALL,
+
+
+      The death-lights glimmer in Caroline's hall,
+      Where strangers have spread the funeral pall;
+      Relations by blood from her have fled,
+      And other hands have pillow'd her head--
+      Vet a halo round her temples plays,
+      Brighter than earthly crowns can raise!
+      When her heart-strings broke, no husband was there,
+      With a bursting breast, and a holy prayer--
+      Her Royal Spouse was _on the sea_,
+      In glittering pomp and pageantry;
+      With streamers pointing to Erin's shore,
+      Where wassail, and wine, and wild uproar,
+      And the noisy mirth of a motley band,
+      Were to drown the sighs of a sorrowing land!
+      The prospect was bright on her Bridal Day,
+      And English hearts were light and gay;
+      Alas!'twas the gleam of a wintry sky,
+      When dark clouds come, and the storm is nigh.
+
+      The eye to bless, and the hand to save,
+      Were not the gifts that the altar gave!
+      She never knew the sweet control
+      That wins, that guards the cherish'd soul;
+      But met the keen repulsive glance
+      From furious eye-balls turn'd askance!--
+      A _licensed outcast_, bade to roam,
+      No husband's bed--no friend--no home--
+      The treacherous _Spy_ in ambush placed,
+      Our British name defiled, disgraced!
+
+
+{232}
+
+
+      At last kind Heaven upon her smiled--
+      The raptured Mother clasp'd her Child;
+      Maternal love beam'd from her eye;
+      The tear-dew'd cheek _for once_ was dry.
+      But devilish hate could ne'er endure
+      A joy so sweet, a bliss so pure;
+      And the cherub-smile that cheer'd her life,
+      Was rudely torn from the widow'd wife!
+
+      But who shall tell--or who shall believe,
+      That malice could deeper wrongs conceive?
+      O, learn the deed from the daughter's bier--
+      In Judgment bid her _Tomb_ appear;
+      On the dark vault let the day-beam shine;
+      Behold the broken lincage-line!
+
+      The Record rests on the sculptured stone--
+      _Robb'd  of the Mother's name_ alone.
+      The surpliced Priest made no appeal--
+      His Earthly Masters check'd his zeal--
+      From those who bent their heads to Heaven,
+      To pray that mortals be forgiven;
+      No kind behest for her was sent,
+      No Priestly hand to her was lent;
+      But when, at length, she lifeless fell,
+      Rose the _hollow_ sound of _their_ passing bell!
+      Well fed, well paid, to blast her name,
+      Swarms of Italian Monsters came;
+      And English Monsters, fouler still,
+      Obey'd their Masters' deadly will!
+      The fiends have chased her day by day,
+      Her _Sabbath_ death-bed was their prey!--
+      These are not men!--they never press'd
+      The life-streams from a human breast;
+      Nor are they woman-born--but thrown
+      From some vile source to man unknown!
+      She struggled long--she nobly rose
+      Triumphant o'er her rancorous foes;
+      Bravely she stood the lengthen'd strife
+      For honest fame--more dear than life--
+      But ah! the nerve, too finely strung,
+      Was wrench'd, was torn, was rudely wrung--
+      She won the prize--_that_ strength was given,
+      Then burst from earth to kinder Heaven!

+We hae muckle fear for the weal o' the Cantry o'Breetan, frae the great
+deal o' ill huiks, like unto the deil's buiks, and the like o'that. We
+hae juist glowred o'er a wee bnikee, a verra bad buik indeed--a verra

+buiks, fu' o-' daflin, trying to thraw contemp upo' the thron an'
+the halter, ca'ing the Lord Provost a full, an' the Lord Advocate nae
+better, and a' the great folk pawkie loons; an' we can compare't to
+naething but the muckle black de'il fiddling thro' the toon. As sic
+is the case, it's nae for the siller we're writing, but oot o' pure
+lawyellty an' patriotism for the guid o' the Cantry. Gin the silly
+peeple keun'd what wa'd be guid for them, they wa'd nae fash themsels
+aboot learning to read ava, or read naething but our Maggy-zeen, an' we
+hope to see the day whan there'll be naething but our Maggy-zeen read
+thro' a' the Cantry; for we are fermly persuaded that the folk are
+turning o'er learned, an' we are aye endeavoring to write them doon to
+the state o' happy ignorance an' respectfu' submission that they war in,
+whan the guid-wife wad say to her ain guid man, 'Git up, Donald, and be
+hangit, an' dinna anger the laird!' It's naething but right and proper

+
+A NEW VISION,
+
+By ROBERT SOUTHEY, Esq.! LL.D.!!
+
+Poet Laureate!!! &c.!!!! &c.!!!!! &c.!!!!!!
+
+  'Twas at that sober hour when the light of day is receding,
+  I alone in Slop's Office was left; and, in trouble of spirit,
+  I mused on old times, till my comfort of heart had departed.
+  Pensile at least I shall be, methought--_sus. per coll._ surely!
+  And therewithal felt I my neckcloth; when lo! on a sudden,
+  There came on my eyes, hanging mid-way 'twixt heav'n and St. James's,
+  The book call'd the _Pension List_. There did I see my name written,
+  Yea ev'n in that great book of life! It was sweet to my eyelids,
+  As dew from a tax! and _Infinity_ seem'd to be open,
+  And I said to myself, 'Now a blessing be on thee, my Robert!
+  And a blessing on thee too my pen! and on thee too my sack-but!'
+  Now, as thus I was standing, mine ear heard a rap at the street-door,
+  Ev'n such as a man might make bold with, half gentle half footman;
+  And lo! up the stairs, dotting one, one, after the other,
+  Came the leg of a wonder, hop! hop! through the silence of evening;
+  And then a voice snarling from the throat of the him they call Murray,
+  Who said, as he hopp'd, 'Must the _Muck Times_ be mournful at _all_ times?
+  Lo, SLOP, I've a sop, for your mop; yes--hop! hop! I've a _story_,
+  With which I'll light _you_ up, if you'll light me, Slop, up another.'
+  'Don't be so _bold!_  methought a _larking_ voice from the skylight
+  Answer'd, and therewithal I felt fear as of frightening;
+  Knowing not why, or how, my soul seem'd night-cap to my body.
+  Then came again the voice, but then with a louder squalling--
+  'Go to hell,' said the voice. 'What!,' said I, inwardly, 'I go!'
+  When lo, and behold, a great wonder!--I, I, Robert Southey,
+  Even I, Robert Southey, Esquire, LL.D. Poet Laureate,
+  Member of the Royal Spanish Academy, of the
+  Ditto of history too, of the Institute Royal
+  Of Dutchland, and eke of the Welch Cymmodorion wonder,
+  Author of Joan of Arc, of much Jacobin Verse, and Wat Tyler,
+  Et cætera, et caetera, et caetera, et cætera, et cætera,
+  (For it's unknown all the things that I am, and have written),
+  I, as I said before, ev'n I, by myself, I,
+  Unlike, in that single respect, to my great master Dante,
+  (For Virgil went with him to help him), but like in all others,
+  Rush'd up into Paradise boldly, which angels themselves don't,
+  Yea ev'n into Paradise rush'd I, through showers of _flimsies_,
+  All as good as the Bank, and for hailstones I found there were _Sovereigns_,
+  Spick and span new; and anon was a body all glorified,
+  Even all the great Host both of Church and State, Crosses, Grand Crosses,
+  Commanders, Companions, and Knights of all possible orders,
+  Commons and Peers, the souls of the sold, whom Pensions made perfect,

+
+Flocking {239}on either hand, a multitudinous army,
+
+Coronet, Crosier, and Mitre, in grand semicircle inclining,
+
+Tier over tier they took their place, aloft in the distance,
+
+Far as the sight could pierce, Stars, Garters, and Gold Sticks.
+
+From among the throng bless'd, all full dress'd, in a Field Marshal's
+uniform, Rose one, with a bow serene, who, aloft, took his station;
+
+Before him the others crouch'd down, all inclining in concert,
+
+Bent like a bull-rush sea, with a wide and a manifold motion:
+
+There he stood in the midst alone; and in front was the presence,
+
+With periwig curling and gay, and a swallow-cut coat-tail.
+
+Hear ye of long ears! Lo! in that place was _Canning_,
+
+He who strengthens the Church and State, with his Manton's
+hair-triggers, And sneers on his lips, and eyes leering, and _rupturous_
+speeches;
+
+With him Fletcher Franklin I saw, and Sir Robert, my namesake,
+
+Worthy the name! even Baker, Sir Robert, of Bow-street;
+
+And Gifford, with face made of lachrymose, savage and feeble,
+
+Who delighteth with Croker to cut up men, women, and young men,
+
+And therefore did Hazlitt cut him up, and so he stood mangled.
+
+There, too, brocaded and satin'd, stood smiling and bowing,
+
+With Court-mask'd appearance, the Fearful One, him of Triangle!
+
+And there, too, the Foolish one, far-conscienced, the Doctor!
+
+And I saw in the vision, the Generals, Sol. and Attorney;
+
+And Sacchi, was there too and him surnamed _Non mi Ricordo_;
+
+And Mad'moiselle Dæmon, and Barbara Kress, and Rastelli;
+
+And Mister, and Mister-ess Jessop, and eke the Miss Jessups;
+
+And Mar-Ai' H--, and M-ss C-m, also;
+
+And Mrs. Fitz--t, and C--ch; and in sooth all the Beauties
+
+Of the 'Georgian age,' except Robinson Mary,
+
+Whom great G. first sent to the D--, and little G. after,
+
+Namely Gifford, who smote at her sorely, yea, ev'n at her crutches,
+
+So that she fell in her grave, and said, 'Cover me kind earth!'
+
+And the great minded Cl---- was there, looking like to Behemoth;
+
+And the Lauderdale disinterested, great Scotch standard-bearer,
+
+And there, too, the king's much-conspired-against-stationer, King,
+stood, The Lord Mayor of Dublin, who sendeth his Majesty's whiskey;
+
+And the Members of Orange Clubs all, anti-Irish shullelahs;
+
+And a heav'nly assembly of parsons, some, lately, expectant--
+
+Parson Hey? Parson B. called, otherwise, Parson Black-cow, divine brute!
+Parson C. alias Croly, or Crawley, or Coronaroly,
+
+Who putteth forth innocent pamphlet? on pure coronations,
+
+Expecteth Milleniums, and laudeth the Blackguard of Blackwood's,
+
+And looketh both lofty and slavish, a dreaminess high-nosed,
+
+As if he had, under the chin been, by worshipful men, chuck'd;
+
+And great Parson Eat--n V--slone, who'd swallow any thing surely;
+
+And the _Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry_, riding down women;
+
+And Alderman Atkins, with Curtis, that big belly-gerent;
+
+And Flower, and Bridges, C. Smith, and the rest of the Bridge Gang;
+
+All cloth'd for the heav'nly occasion in their best Indictments!
+
+And there all the Lottery-contractors, and such like, were also;
+
+And there {240}Mr. Strong-i-th'-arm, his Majesty's Seal-Engraver, was
+also; And they all who forged, lo! the French Assignats, were there
+also;
+
+And the Court-newsman also was there--
+
+(The Spirit now bids me write prose, but that, you know's all the same
+thine;) And Colburn with his Muck Monthly Magazine was there;
+
+And Ward, the Animal Painter, with a piece of spoil'd canvas, 35 feet
+wide by 21, was there;
+
+But Bird who, most disloyally, died of a broken heart, was not there;
+
+And the Duke of Wellington, with the Sword of State, was there;
+
+And Sir John Silvester, the Recorder of London, and his assistant, were
+there; And Messrs. Uundell and Bridge, the Jewellers who repair'd the
+Crown, were there;
+
+And the Pigtails out off from his Majesty's guards were there;
+
+And the Guards themselves in their neat uniforms, and new white
+gaiters, were there;
+
+And the State Coach and Coachmen and Horses were there;
+
+And the other Ministers of State in their new State Liveries were there;
+And the Clerks of the Council and the two Silver Inkstands were there;
+And all the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange were there;
+
+And all the Gentlemen of the Shipping Interest were there;
+
+And all the Gentlemen of the Landed Interest were there;
+
+But all the people without Interest were not there;
+
+And all the Peers who voted the Queen of England guilty were-there;
+
+And all the Ministerial Members of the House of Commons were there; And
+Dr. Slop with 'fresh fig-leaves for Adam and Ere' was there;
+
+And the Royal Proclamation against Vice and Immorality was pasted up
+there. And behold, while I read it, thinking to put it, excellent as it
+was, Into language still better,
+
+Methought, in my vision, I dreamt--dream within dream intercircled--And
+seem'd to be hurried away, by a vehement whirlwind,
+
+To Flames and Sulphurous Darkness, where certain of my Minor Poems were
+scorching,
+
+Yet unconsum'd, in penal fire; and so was I purified
+
+For deeds done in the flesh, being, through them, burnt by proxy!
+
+There, too, roasted the Bishop of Osnaburgh's Doxy,
+
+But the Righteous-one, _the Prince Bishop himself_, was in Heaven;
+
+And two Boots were there, as a burnt-offering for peccadillo,
+
+But the Owner thereof was a glorified spirit above,
+
+Where, as in duty bound, I had sung to him 'Twang-a-dillo,
+
+He that loves a pretty girl, is a hearty good fellow!'
+
+And in Torment (but here the blest rage of the bard returns on me)
+
+And in torment was She, who, on earth, had been also tormented By Him
+who is never, nor can be accused, of aught vicious;
+
+With her were the friends of my childhood--not leaving out Coleridge;
+And they who were kill'd by the Manchester Yeomanry also;
+
+And Truth, the whole Truth, nothing but the Truth, suffered the burning.
+Then I turn'd my meek eyes, in their gladness, to Heaven, and my place
+there, And ascending, I flew back to Paradise, singing of Justice;
+
+Where, fill'd with divine expectation of merited favour,
+
+{241}
+
+The gathering host look'd to him, in whom all their hopes center'd,
+
+As the everlasting hand; and I, too, press'd forward to obtain--
+
+But old recollections withheld me;--down, down, dropp'd my sack-but, And
+my feet, methought, slid, and I fell precipitate. Starting,
+
+Then I awoke, with my hair up, and lo! my young days were before me,
+Dark yet distinct; but instead of the voice of the honest,
+
+I hoard only Murray's yap', yap! and hap! hop! through the silence of
+evening: Yap! hop! and hop! yap!--and hence came the hop, step, and
+jump, of my verses.

+BOROUGH-BRIDGE REFORM.
+
+The the Ancient and Honourable Corporation of Boroughmongers, in
+Parlaverment assembled, THE PETITION of the Ancient and Honourable
+Corporation of London Bridge in Arches assembled,
+
+Hombly sheweth,
+
+That, for some time past, an opinion has prevailed, that your
+Petitioners' _Arches_ are narrow and decayed, and that their continuance
+in their present state is attended with an unnecessary annual expense,
+and loss of lives.
+
+That, in consequence of this opinion, a large body of persons assembled
+for Bridge Reform, have insisted upon the necessity of widening your
+Petitioners' _Arches_, and have actually erected, in your Petitioners'
+neighbourhood, a new bridge, with arches calculated to give free course
+to the whole tide, and a safe and uninterrupted public communication--to
+the great scandal of your Petitioners.
+
+That your Petitioners' Arches, and the Borough Arches of your Honourable
+Structure, are the production of one and the same mind.
+
+That your Honourable Structure being a model of perfection, your
+Petitioners have, therefore, a right to presume that their Bridge is
+also a model of perfection.
+
+That your Petitioners, respectfully referring to the enlightened
+declaration of the Emperor of Austria, that what is ancient is good,
+humbly beg leave to represent, that it is essential to the permanence of
+your Honourable Structure in its present state, to stop the progress of
+all enlargement.
+
+And your Petitioners humbly pray, that the Right Hon. George Canning may
+be assigned advocate in their behalf, to convince the Public that your
+Petitioners' Arches are exactly as numerous, as narrow, and as decayed
+as they ought-to-be; which office your Petitioners have no doubt the said
+Right Hon. Gent. will gladly undertake, upon being allowed to receive an
+ample toll.
+
+AND YOUR PETITIONERS, as in uniformity found, will ever pray for Your
+Honourable Structure.

+UNIVERSAL SAFETY LAMP.
+
+"One unclouded blaze of living light."
+
+THE COMBINATION AGAINST THIS LAMP renders it necessary to state some
+of its advantages. The best of the Common Parish Lamps, so universally
+complained of for their dulness, do little more than render darkness
+visible, and assist the perpetration of crime. If their forms are
+occasionally varied by lacquer and varnish, and rendered pleasing to
+the eye, their light is not improved in the smallest degree; and they
+require a multitude of hands to feed and trim them, at a most enormous
+expense; while THE "UNIVERSAL SAFETY" LAMP diffuses a brilliant and
+steady lustre, and a genial warmth equal to the solar beam. It eclipses
+every other brightness. The only inconvenience complained of by the
+nervous and fastidious is, that its flame sometimes rises during a
+storm, and emits a small portion of smoke, but this vapour ceases almost
+immediately after the agitation has subsided. _It is constructed on an
+unerring principle of Self-regulation; it cannot be extinguished by any
+power on earth, and will Last for Ever_. {245}

+THE DOCTOR
+
+A PARODY WRITTEN BY THE RIGHT HONORABLE GEORGE CANNING, M. P.
+
+Lord FOLKESTONE confessed that there Had been a smile on his countenance
+at one part of the right honorable gentleman (Mr. CANNING)'s speech, and
+it seemed to him very extraordinary, even after the reconciliation that
+had taken place, to hear the right honorable gentleman stand up for the
+talents of that poor "Doctor" (Lord SIDMOUTH), who has so long been
+the butt of his most bitter and unsparing ridicule (_loud laughter and
+shouts of hear, hear_). Whether in poetry or prose, the great object of
+his derision, and that for want of ability and sense, was the noble lord
+whom he (Mr. CANNING) had so strenuously defended that night; and now
+forsooth, he wondered that any person could object to confide unlimited
+power in the hands of a person, according to his own former opinions,
+so likely to be duped and misled (hear, hear). Yes, the house would
+remember the lines in which, at different times, the right honorable
+gentleman (Mr CANNING), had been pleased to panegyrize his (Mr.
+CANNING's) noble friend (Lord SIDMOUTH) of which the following were not
+the worst:--
+
+     "I showed myself prime Doctor to the country;
+     My ends attain'd, my only aim has been
+     To keep my place, and gild my humble name."--
+
+(A laud laugh)
+
+Yes, this was the view the right honorable gentleman had once drawn of
+his noble friend, who was then described by him thus:--
+
+"My name's the Doctor; on the Berkshire hills," &c.
+
+[See the Parody below for the remainder of Lord Folkestone's
+Quotation--For his Lordship's Speech, see Evans's Debates, 1817, p.
+1568.]
+
+     My name's THE DOCTOR; on the Berkshire hills
+     My father purged his patients--a wise man,
+     Whose constant care was to increase his store,
+     And keep his eldest son--myself--at home.
+     But I had heard of Politics, and long'd
+     To sit within the Commons' House, and get
+     A place, and luck gave what my sire denied.
+
+{254}
+
+     Some thirteen years ago, or ere my fingers
+     Had learn'd to mix a potion, or to bleed,
+     _I flatterd Pitt: I cring'd, and sneak'd, and faun'd,_
+     And thus became the Speaker. I alone,
+     With pompous gait, and peruke full of wisdom,
+     Th' unruly members could control, or call The House to order.
+
+     Tir'd of the Chair, I sought a bolder flight,
+     And, grasping at his power, I struck my friend,
+     Who held that place which now I've made my own.
+     Proud of my triumph, I disdain'd to court
+     The patron hand which fed me--or to seem
+     Grateful to him who rais'd me into notice.
+
+     And, when the King had call'd his Parliament
+     With all my fam'ly crowding at my heels,
+     My brothers, cousins, followers and my son,
+     I show'd myself Prime Doctor to the country.
+     _My ends attain'd my only aim has been
+     To keep my place--and gild my humble name!_

+of the most confidential intimacy with Mr. HONE, and by the warmest
+friendship and affection for him and his family, he originally selected
+him for his publisher exclusively; that he has not suffered, nor will
+he suffer, a line of his writing to pass into the hands of any other
+Bookseller; and that his last, end owing to imperative claims upon his
+pen of a higher order, possibly his very last production in that way,

+Sir--I am authorised and requested to demand of you nine copies of the

+Withdrawn from the Press,
+
+A LETTER TO THE SOLICITOR GENERAL. By WILLIAM HONE.
+
+Since the announcement of this Publication, the attack of the
+Solicitor-General upon the Juries of my Country has drawn down upon that
+Gentleman, within the walls of Parliament, such deserved animadversion
+as to render superfluous any interference on my part.
+
+Two years have elapsed since I broke away from the toils; and it seems
+the escape of the destined victim is never to be forgiven! The cause of
+which the Solicitor-General is unexpectedly the gratuitous advocate, has
+taken appropriate refuge in the snug precincts of Gatton. There let it
+wither!
+
+The verdicts of my Juries require no other vindication than a faithful
+recital of the grounds on which they were founded. From the period
+at which those verdicts were pronounced, and with a view to that
+vindication, I have been unremittingly employed in the collection and
+arrangement of rare and curious materials which the Solicitor-General's
+attack will induce me to extend to
+
+A COMPLETE HISTORY OF PARODY.
+
+This History I purpose to bring out, very speedily, _with extensive
+graphic illustrations,_ and I flatter myself it will answer the various
+purposes of satisfying the expectations of my numerous and respectable
+subscribers--of justifying my own motives in publishing the Parodies--of
+throwing a strong light upon the presumable motives of my prosecutors in
+singling me out from my Noble and Right Honorable Fellow Parodists--of
+holding up Trial by Jury to the increased love and veneration of the
+British People--and above all, of making every calumny upon the verdicts
+of three successive, honorable, and intelligent Juries recoil upon
+the slanderer, be he who he may, that dares to asperse them. W. HONE.
+Ludgate-Hill, March, 1820.
+
+Printed by W. Hone, 45, Ludgate-Hill.

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+    O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious:
+    and his mercy endureth for ever. <i>Psalm cvii. 1.
+
+   Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed:
+   and delivered from the hand of the enemy. Verse 2.</i>
+
+    Many a time have they fought against me from my
+    youth up. <i>Psalm cxxix. 1.</i>
+
+   <i>Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth
+   up: but they have not prevailed against me. Verse 2.</i>
+
+    They have privily laid their net to destroy me
+    without a cause: yea, even without a cause have they
+    made a pit for my soul. <i>Psalm xxxv. 7.</i>
+
+    <i>They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my
+    soul: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen
+    into the midst of it themselves. Psalm lvii. 7.</i>
+
+    Great is our Lord, and great is his power: yea,
+    and his wisdom is infinite. <i>Psalm cxlvii. 5.</i>
+
+    <i>The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the un-
+    godly down to the ground. Verse 6.</i>
+
+   <i>Two Psalms appointed in the Book of Common Prayer
+
+   to be said on the 29th of each month throughout the year.</i>
+
+   PSALM CXL. <i>Eripe me, Domine.</i>.
+
+   DELIVER me, O Lord, from the evil man: and
+   preserve me from the wicked man.
+
+    2 Who imagine mischief in their hearts: and stir
+    up strife all the day long.
+
+    3 They have sharpened their tongues like a ser-
+    pent: adders' poison is under their lips.
+
+    4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the un-
+    godly: preserve me from the wicked men, who are
+    purposed to overthrow my goings.

+    5 The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread
+    a net abroad with cords: yea, and set traps in my

+
+    6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear
+    the voice of my prayers, O Lord.
+
+    7 O Lord God, thou strength of my health: thou
+    hast covered my head in the day of battle.
+
+    8 Let not the ungodly have his desire, O Lord:
+    let not his mischievous imagination prosper, lest they
+    be too proud.
+
+    9 Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the
+    head of them: that compass me about.
+
+    10 Let hot burning coals fall upon them: let them
+    be cast into the fire, and into the pit, that they never

+
+    11 A man full of words shall not prosper upon the
+    earth: evil shall hunt the wicked person to overthrow
+    him.
+
+    12 Sure I am that the Lord will avenge the poor:
+    and maintain the cause of the helpless.
+
+    IS The righteous also shall give thanks unto thy
+    Name: and the just shall continue in thy sight.
+
+   PSALM CXLI. <i>Domine clamavi.</i>
+
+    LORD, I call upon thee, haste thee unto me and
+    consider my voice when I cry unto thee.
+
+    2 Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the
+    incense: and let the lifting up of my hands be an
+    evening sacrifice.
+
+    3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and
+    keep the door of my lips.
+
+    4 O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil

+
+      6 But let not their precious balms break my head:

+
+      7 Let their judges be overthrown in stony places:

+
+      8 Our bones lie scattered before the pit: like as

+      CROSS EXAMINED BY MR. BESOM.

+    <p>
+      WHO <span class="pagenum"><a name="link071" id="link071"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p071.jpg">071</a></span>are you? Non mi
+      ricordo.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      What countryman are you?&mdash;a foreigner or an englishman? Non mi
+      ricordo.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Do you <i>understand</i> English? No not at all.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Will the Oath you have taken <i>bind</i> you to speak the truth, or do you
+      know of any other Oath <i>more</i> binding?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Turnstile General objected to the ques-tion; upon which a discussion
+      arose as to the nature of the Oath likely to bind the Witness, who
+      ap-peared to be playing with a thread. The Witness was accordingly asked,
+      by way of illustration, to what degree he thought the thread was <i>binding</i>,
+      and whether he knew of any thing else <i>more</i> binding?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Lord Precedent Furthermore said, if the Witness believed the thread he
+      held was <i>binding</i>, that was sufficient.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Lord Precedents opinion gave rise to a long discussion as to whether
+      <i>more</i> binding was <i>binding</i>, and binding was <i>more</i>
+      binding; which ended in a reference to the Erminians, who delivered the
+      following solemn opinion:&mdash;If the Witness shall answer that he thinks
+      the bit of thread is <i>binding</i>, there is no doubt it <i>is</i>
+      binding; but he cannot be asked if a cord is <i>more</i> binding, because
+      he in fact says <span class="pagenum"><a name="link072" id="link072"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p072.jpg">072</a></span>that the thread itself
+      is <i>binding</i>. If the Witness twists the thread round his little
+      finger he is so far bound by it, and it is <i>binding</i>; and having done
+      that, it is unnecessary to inquire whether a cord, round another part of
+      his body, would be <i>more</i> binding.

+      By the Roman law, a divorce was granted for Drunkenness, Adultery, and <i>False
+      Keys</i>: what is your opinion of that law?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Twister General said, that it was contrary to common sense to ask the
+      witness's opinion about any <i>Law</i>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      How many Wives does <i>your</i> Church allow you? Non mi ricordo.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      How many have you had since you separated from your own? Non mi ricordo.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Are you a Member of the Society for the Suppression of Vice? Yes (<i>with
+      great energy</i>).
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Cross-examining Counsel said that the Interpreter had materially
+      altered the sense of the last question; <span class="pagenum"><a
+      name="link076" id="link076"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p076.jpg">076</a></span>he
+      had in fact asked, if the Witness was Member of the Society for the
+      suppression of <i>Wives, (a loud laugh)</i> which Witness had eagerly
+      answered in the affirmative.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Witness's answer was expunged, and on the question being repeated
+      correctly, he answered that he was told it was his duty to encourage the
+      <i>Vice</i> Society, because it professed to diminish the influence of bad
+      example.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Have they ever prosecuted you? Me!&mdash;(<i>with astonishment</i>)&mdash;they
+      like <i>me</i> too well!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      What do you mean then by Suppression&mdash;is your Soeiety to prevent
+      little vice from being committed, or great vice from being found out?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      More Yes than No.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It was here moved by Lord Le Cuisinier, that 4 o'Clock, the hour of
+      dinner, was arrived.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Another, in a maiden Speeeh, said, that during his long silence in that
+      Court he had had leisure to observe, that 4 o'Clock in the <i>morning</i>
+      was a more usual hour of adjournment.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Another considered that Lord Le Cuisinier's suggestion ought not to be
+      entertained for a moment. We only exist in our formalities. If we suffer
+      ourselves to be put a stop to by the motion, we may find that we are
+      travelling round again into the obsolete usages of our early ancestors;
+      which will be to describe a circle that must be generally considered as
+      nothing less than a revolution! I therefore deprecate the least
+      innovation, and move, as an amendment, that 4 o'Clock is <i>not</i>
+      arrived.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The <span class="pagenum"><a name="link077" id="link077"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p077.jpg">077</a></span>Master General of the
+      <i>Black</i> Barracks at Exeter, rose without his wig, and declaring, upon
+      the memory of his whiskers, that he had just heard it strike 4, he
+      enquired whether the Clock was in <i>Order. (Loud and continued cries of
+      hear hear.)</i>
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Home DOCTOR felt his pulse alarmingly quicken one and a fraction in
+      the minute, and nervously said, that the clock was clearly guilty of a
+      barefaced libel and ought to be instantly held to bail for breach of the
+      peace. The simultaneous action of all the Clocks throughout the nation and
+      their open communication by circulars, was an index to the existence of an
+      organized correspondence and a systematic affiliation. He trembled at the
+      positive intelligence he had received, that millions at that moment held
+      their hands in an attitude ready to strike; but it was the proudest day of
+      his life that he had so far succeeded by a <i>circular</i> movement of his
+      own, as to enable his workmen to hold them to the peace for an hour
+      together.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Lord Bathos assured the Black-Barrack Master-General that the Clock <i>was</i>
+      out of Order, and he congratulated the Home Doctor on his efficiency; but
+      he thought they had not sunk low enough into the subject; for he had
+      strong doubts whether the striking might not be construed into an overt
+      act of High Treason, and if he saw any probability of being supported he
+      should conclude with a substantive motion. Did not the Lord Precedent
+      remember a Clock Case, in which, immediately after the chain had been
+      locked up, a principal link suddenly disappeared? and whether, after the
+      most minute inquiry, there was not every reason to believe from the best
+      information that could be obtained at that time, <span class="pagenum"><a
+      name="link078" id="link078"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p078.jpg">078</a></span>that
+      that link had been <i>prigged? (Hear hear.)</i> Take even the very last
+      Clock Case, where the chain was kept together with the greatest pains, and
+      the utmost care. If the smallest link in that chain had been <i>prigged</i>,
+      it would have been fatal to the works, and yet in that very case, two days
+      after the chain was locked up, a link was obtained, which, if sooner
+      discovered, would have lengthened the chain to the necessary extent, and
+      brought home in the most conclusive manner the guilt of the Clock. He
+      therefore moved that the Clock be examined, and the chain kept in their
+      own custody, with liberty to add to the number of links.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Lord Ratstail with his usual animation seconded the Motion.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Marquiz Boudoir moved as an Amendment, that the Clock being in contempt,
+      the <i>Black stick</i> be ordered to <i>walk him</i> in to-morrow.
+      Seconded.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Upon this Amendment the following Amendment was moved and seconded, that
+      the word 'to-morrow' be expunged, and the word 'yesterday' be inserted in
+      its place. <i>Ordered.</i>
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Cross Examination resumed.

+      would gain a delay of six hours in the Week, and the <i>gaining of any

+      Gentleman in a Public Office, lately left his home, just after dreadfully
+      ill-using his wife about half a Crown, and trying to beat her. He had long
+      complained a great deal of his forehead, and lately had a leech put upon
+      him. He was last seen walking swiftly towards the Horns without a Crown to
+      his hat, accompanied by some evil disposed persons, who tied a great green
+      bag to his tail full of crackers, which he mistook for sweetmeats, and
+      burnt himself dreadfully. Every person he met in this deplorable condition
+      tried to persuade him to go back, but in vain. He is very deaf and very
+      obstinate, and cannot bear to be looked at or spoken to. It is supposed
+      that he has been seduced and carried off by some artful female. He may be
+      easily known by his manners. He fancies himself the politest man in
+      Europe, because he knows how to bow, and to offer a pinch of snuff; and
+      thinks himself the greatest man in Europe, because people have humoured
+      him and let him have his own way. He is so fond of tailoring, that he
+      lately began a suit that will take him his life to complete. He delights
+      in playing at soldiers, supposes himself a cavalry officer, and makes
+      speeches, that others write for him, in a field marshal's uniform.
+      Sometimes he fancies himself 'Glorious Apollo,' plays;Hailstones of
+      Brunswick' on the base fiddle, and qualifies his frieuds to perform
+      'Cuckolds all on a row.' His concerns are very much deranged. Not long ago
+      he imported a vast quantity of Italian images at enormous prices, upon
+      credit, and hoarded them up in a waterside cotton warehouse. Since then,
+      things have gone all against him, and he has been in a very desponding
+      state. It is of the utmost consequence to himself that he should be at his
+      post, or he may lose his place; one of his predecessors some time ago
+      having been cashiered for his misconduct. If this should meet his eye, it
+      is earnestly requested that he will return to his duty, and he will be
+      kindly received and no questions asked.

+      N. B. He has not a friend in the world except the advertiser and a few

+      1st September, 1820. "WHEREAS <span class="pagenum"><a name="link084"

+      well known old established Public House, (formerly a <i>free</i> house)
+      called the Political House that Jack built, has been feloniously entered
+      into and damaged, and the property therein carried off to a large amount,
+      by a numerous gang of desperate Villains, who, by various vile arts and
+      contrivances, have not only kept possession thereof, but also of the Head
+      Waiter, who was intrusted by Mr. Bull, the owner, with the management of
+      the concern, and was a very promising young man when Mr. Bull first knew
+      him, and might have done very well if he had followed the advice of his
+      old friends, and not suffered these desperadoes to get him into their
+      clutches; since when he seems to have forgotten himself, and by neglecting
+      his duty sadly, and behaving ill to the customers who support the House,
+      has almost ruined the Business, and has also dreadfully injured the Sign,
+      which Mr. Bull had had fresh painted after he dismissed a former waiter
+      for his bad manners. Whoever will assist Mr. Bull in bringing the
+      offenders to Justice, will be doing a great service to the young man, and
+      he will still be retained in his situation, unless he has actually
+      destroyed or made away with the Sign, which Mr. Bull very much admires, it
+      being a <i>heir-loom</i>. If offered to be pawned or sold it is requested
+      the parties may be stopped, and notice given as above. As the young man

+      either done him a serious mischief, or secreted him somewhere to prevent
+      Mr. Bull, who is really his friend, from speaking to him.

+      go within their reach-they mind nobody but me! A short time ago they got
+      loose, and, with some other vermin that came from their holes and corners,
+      desperately attacked a Lady of Quality; but, as luck would have it, I, and
+      my (four and twenty men,' happened to come in at the very moment;&mdash;we
+      'pull'd' away, and prevented'em from doing her a serious mischief. Though
+      they look tame, their vicious dispositions are unchanged. If any thing was
+      to happen to me, they'd soon break out again, and shew their natural
+      ferocity, i'm in continual danger from'em myself&mdash;for if I didn't
+      watch'em closely they'd destroy me. As the clown says, 'there never was
+      such times,'&mdash;so there's no telling what tricks they may play yet.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Ladies and Gentlemen,&mdash;these animals have been exhibited at Court,
+      before the King, and all the Royal Family! Indeed His Majesty is so fond
+      of'em that he often sees'em in private, and feeds'em; and he is so
+      diverted by'em that he has been pleased to express his gracious
+      approbation of all their motions. But they're as cunning as the old one
+      himself! Bless you, he does not know a thousandth part of their tricks.

+      Ladies and Gentlemen,

+    <p>
+      I begin the Exhibition with the Crocodile, which is of the Lizard tribe ;
+      yet, from his <i>facility of creeping through narrow and intricate ways,</i>
+      he has been classed among Serpents. * He has a monstrous appetite, his <i>swallow</i>
+      is immense, and his legs are placed <i>side</i>-ways. It is a vulgar error
+      to suppose that he cannot <i>turn</i>; for, although he is in appearance
+      very heavy, and his back is very strong, and proof against the hardest
+      blows, yet he is so <i>pliable</i>, that he can <i>wheel</i> round with
+      the utmost facility. When in his haunt, and apparently torpid, he
+      sometimes utters a piteous <i>whine</i> of distress&mdash;almost human; <i>sheds
+      tears</i>, and, attracting the unwary, suddenly darts upon a man, and
+      gorges him with all he has. His <i>claws</i> are very long and tenacious.
+      If a victim eludes his grasp, he infallibly secures him by his fleet
+      power. He is sometimes used for purposes of <i>state and show</i>, and his
+      bags are much coveted for their <i>peculiar</i> qualities. **

+    <p>
+      Ladies and Gentlemen,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Locust is a destructive insect, of the Grillus tribe. They are so
+      numerous, and so rapacious, that they may be compared to an army, pursuing
+      its march to devour the fruits of the earth, as an instrument of <i>divine
+      displeasure</i> towards a devoted country. They have leaders, who direct
+      their motions in preying on the labours of man <i>in fertile regions</i>.
+      No insect is more formidable in places where they breed: for they <i>wither</i>
+      whatever they <i>touch</i>. It is impossible to recount the <i>terrible
+      devastations</i> which historians and travellers relate that they have
+      committed at different times, in various parts of the world. Many are so
+      <i>venomous</i>, that persons <i>handling</i> them are immediately stung,
+      and seized with shivering and trembling; but it has been discovered that,
+      in most cases, their hateful qualities are completely assuaged by <i>palm</i>
+      oil.*

+    <p>
+      Ladies and Gentlemen,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Scorpion is a reptile that resembles the <i>common lobster</i>, but is
+      much more hideous. They are very terrible to mankind, on account of their
+      size and malignity, and their large <i>crooked stings</i>. They often
+      assault and kill people in their houses. In Italy, and some other parts of
+      Europe, they are the greatest pests of mankind; but their venom is most
+      dreadful in the <i>East</i>. An inferior species sally forth at certain
+      seasons, in battalions;&mdash;scale houses that stand in the way of their
+      march;&mdash;wind along the course of rivers;&mdash;and on their retreat
+      entrench themselves. Scorpions are so irascible, that they will attempt to
+      sting a <i>constable's staff</i>; yet even a harmless little mouse *
+      destroyed three of them, <i>one after the other</i>, by acting on the <i>defensive</i>,
+      survived their venomous wounds, and seemed pleased with its victory. When
+      in a confined space, they exert all their rage against each other, and
+      there is nothing to be seen but universal carnage. If this mutual
+      destruction did not prevail, they would multiply so fast as to render some
+      countries uninhabitable. **

+      where they acquire defensive and offensive <i>armour</i>. They issue forth
+      from their <i>fortresses</i> in hope of <i>plunder</i>, and to surprise
+      such inadvertent and weak animals as come within their reach. They have
+      little to apprehend except from each other, the more powerful being
+      formidable enemies to the weaker. They sometimes continue in the same
+      habitations for a long time together; in general they get <i>new coats
+      once a year</i>. When in <i>hot water</i> they make a great noise, attack
+      any one that puts a hand towards them, and knowing their danger, use

+    <p>
+      Ladies and Gentlemen,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      This is a <i>quick climbing</i> animal; but is, in other respects, <i>heavy</i>
+      and helpless. When it is pursued on <i>level ground</i> and overtaken, it
+      feigns itself dead, to deceive the hunters. A faculty in its <i>seat</i>,
+      enables it to suspend itself from a high branch, by that part, for a long
+      time together; and, in this position, watching for whatever is weak that
+      comes within its reach, it falls upon it and usually destroys it. By this
+      elevating power in its <i>nether end</i>, it not only seizes its prey more
+      securely, but preserves itself from pursuers: looking down on them, in a
+      sort of <i>upright</i> position, heels upwards. It is very domesticated,
+      but proves a disagreeable inmate, from its <i>scent</i>; which, however
+      fragrant in <i>small</i> quantities, is uniformly ungrateful when <i>copiously</i>
+      supplied. <i>It is a boroughing creature</i>. *

+      These are most pernicious animals. They borough, and prey on our food,
+      drink, clothing, furniture, live-stock, and every convenience of life;
+      furnishing their residences with the plunder of our property. They have
+      particular haunts, to which they entice each other in large numbers, for
+      the sake of <i>prey</i>; where they often do incredible damage to our <i>mounds</i>,
+      and undermine the strongest <i>embankments</i>. Sometimes they hoard their
+      plunder in <i>nests</i>, that they make at a distance from their usual <i>places
+      of congregating. * They are very bold and fierce. Instead of waiting for
+      an attack, they usually become the aggressors, and, </i>seizing their
+      adversaries by the lips<i>, inflict dangerous, and even deadly wounds.
+      While they subsist on our industry, and increase our terrors, they make no
+      grateful returns, and, therefore, mankind have studied various ways for
+      diminishing their numbers; but their </i>cunning<i> discovers the most
+      distant danger, and if any are disturbed or attacked, in an unusual
+      manner, the rest take the alarm, and, becoming exceedingly shy, and wary,
+      elude the most ingenious devices of their pursuers. When, unhappily, you
+      come in contact with one of these </i>vermin<i>, the best way of
+      dispatching it is by a single squeeze; but novices who hesitate, are sure
+      to prove sufferers. They have been found on a bench, so </i>interwoven<i>
+      by their tails, that </i>by reason of their entanglement, they could not
+      part. ** A dead rat, <i>by altering the look of his head and the

+      blood-hound and the <i>Irish</i> wolf-dog, whose ferocity has been much

+      The <i>Creature</i> you now see is a sort of <i>Noddy</i> of the Gull
+      kind. Observe his uncouth form and his ludicrously wise looks! He is the
+      most stupid of the <i>feathered</i> tribe; yet he has a <i>voracious</i>
+      appetite, and an enormous swallow. You perceive that he feigns the
+      appearance of being <i>upright</i>, of seeming to comprehend objects he
+      sees, of listening to what he hears, and that he shakes his head with <i>gravity</i>,
+      as though he had a certain degree of understanding. His greatest pleasure
+      is in <i>standing still.</i> He has not sense enough to <i>get out of
+      People's way</i> ; speaking to him or making <i>motions</i> never disturb
+      him. There is no compelling him to the fatigue of <i>changing</i> his
+      position till he feels a <i>blow</i>; for he keeps his place till he is
+      approached quite close, and <i>knocked down</i>. He is a living <i>full
+      stop</i>. When he is <i>forced to walk</i>, which is very seldom, he goes
+      from <i>side to side</i>. Like others of similar tribes, he boroughs. In
+      this respect the union and affection of these <i>Creatures</i> towards
+      each other is wonderful; for, when undisturbed by the encroachments of <i>men</i>,
+      they construct their <i>nests</i> as convenient as if they expected them
+      to be <i>permanent</i>; arranging their different places with such an
+      amazing degree of uniformity, as to resemble a <i>regular plantation</i>.
+      Sometimes they draw up side by side, in rank and file, and sit brooding
+      together as if in deep counsel, on affairs of moment&mdash;their <i>silliness</i>
+      and <i>solemnity</i> exciting involuntary <i>laughter!</i> This <i>burlesque</i>

+      The habits of these tribes are known through those who visit the haunts
+      they have forsaken for more obscure <i>retreats</i>, where they can <i>build
+      aloft</i>, and settle in their <i>nests</i> at ease: a practice which
+      confirms the remark of a great naturalist, that the presence of <i>men</i>
+      not only destroys the society of the <i>meaner</i> animals, but even
+      extinguishes their <i>grovelling</i> instincts. Hitherto the Booby has
+      been considered of no service whatever; yet a similar species, * by
+      drawing a wick through the body and lighting it, is made into a <i>candle</i>S.
+      ** If this Booby could be thus used, the <i>illumination of</i> both
+      Houses and the public offices might be speedily effected, and the tribe he
+      belongs to be rendered available to human purposes. At any rate a skilful

+      THE BOA DESOLATOR, OR LEGITIMATE VAMPIRE.
+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      It overlays the continent like an ugly Incubus, sucking the blood and
+      stopping up the breath of man's life. It claims Mankind as its property,
+      and allows human nature to exist only upon sufferance; it haunts the
+      understanding like a frightful spectre, and oppresses the very air witha
+      weight that is not to be borne. Hazlitt's Political Essays and Characters,
+      p. 21.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      This hideous Beast, not having at any time put forth all his <i>members</i>,
+      cannot be accurately described. Every <i>dark</i> Century has added to his
+      frightful bulk. More disgusting than the filthiest reptile, his strength
+      exceeds all other <i>brute force</i>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      His enormous, bloated, toad-like body is <i>ferruginous: * the under
+      surface appears of </i>polished steel<i>. His cavern-like mouth is always
+      open to devour; his teeth are as </i>swords<i>, and his jaw-teeth as
+      knives'&mdash;as millions of </i>bristling bayonets<i> intermingled with
+      </i>black fangs<i> containing mortal venom. His roar is a voice from the
+      sepulchre. He is marked 'in form of a cross</i>, ** with a series of <i>chains</i>,
+      intersected by the triangle, *** and glittering colours, variegated with
+      <i>red</i>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      His aspect is cruel and terrible. He loves the <i>dark</i>, but never
+      sleeps. Wherever he makes his lair, nature sickens, and man is brutified.
+      His presence is 'plague, pestilence, and famine, battle, and murder, and
+      sudden death.' His bite rapidly <i>undermines the strongest</i>
+      Constitution, and dissolves the whole into an entire mass of Corruption.
+      He has no <i>brain</i>, but the <i>walls</i> of the skull emit a <i>tinkling</i>
+      sound, that attracts his victims, and lulls them into <i>passive obedience</i>.
+      In this state he clutches them in his coils, and <i>screws and squeezes</i>
+      them to destruction&mdash;<i>slavering</i> them over, and sucking in their
+      <i>substance</i> at leisure. It is difficult to witness the half-stifled
+      cries of his harmless prey, or to behold its anxiety and trepidation,
+      while the monster writhes hideously around it, without imagining <i>what
+      our own case would be in the same dreadful situation.</i> *****

+      His rapacity is increased by <i>indulgence</i>. He grinds, cranches, and
+      devours whole multitudes, without being satisfied. His blood is cold. His
+      ravening maw does not digest: it is an ever-yawning grave that <i>engulphs</i>&mdash;a
+      'bottomless pit' continually crying '<i>give, give!</i>' Sometimes he
+      rests <span class="pagenum"><a name="link112" id="link112"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p112.jpg">112</a></span>from his labors,' to
+      admire his loathsome <i>limbs</i>, and <i>slime</i> them over. He has no
+      affections: yet he appears charmed by the <i>hum</i> of the insects that
+      follow him, and pleased by the <i>tickling crawl</i> of the meanest
+      reptiles-permitting them to hang upon his lips, and partake of his
+      leavings. But his real pleasure is in listening to the cries of his
+      captives, the wail of the broken hearted, and the groans of the dying.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      He lives in defiance and scorn of Providence, and in hatred to the
+      happiness of man. When distended with human carnage, and wet with the gore
+      of the innocent and the helpless, he lifts an impious <i>form</i> to
+      heaven in solemn mockery. He was predicted of by the Seer of old, as the
+      Beast with many heads and crowns, bearing the name of Blasphemy.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The garish <i>colours</i> that denote his malignity, excite only horror
+      and detestation in the lover of nature, and of his species. They are most
+      <i>lively</i> when he is engaged in the work of death, and cause him to be
+      admired by the vulgar multitude, learned and unlearned, who hold him <i>sacred</i>,
+      pay him <i>divine honors</i>, call him <i>holy</i>, and fall down before
+      him as an object-of worship, while priests glorify him, and minister to
+      him, and pray for his murderous successes in the temples. Hence-the good
+      and the wise, in all ages, have devised and practised various methods for
+      the destruction of a Fiend that creates nothing but <i>terror and
+      imposture</i>, and between whom and rational man there is a natural
+      antipathy.

+     A few more Cut-throats, to protect the rhino

+       "Perish those poets, and be hush'd the song,
+        Which with this <i>nonsense</i> charm'd the world so long,
+        That he who does no right, can do no wrong."
+
+                                         De Foe.
+</pre>
+    <p>
+      To condemn <i>nonsense</i>, especially in high places, is proper: there
+      are ancient precedents for it.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      A thousand years before Christ, Nathan, a priest in the house of the Lord
+      at Jerusalem, knew that David the Lord's anointed, had not only worked <i>folly</i>
+      in Israel, by committing adultery with a beautiful woman, but had
+      committed <i>crime</i>, by causing her husband to be put to death. The
+      honest priest charged both the folly and the crime upon the king! He went
+      up to his majesty with this Address: "<i>Thou art the man!</i>" He
+      prosecuted him at the bar of his own conscience, convicted him, and passed
+      sentence upon him&mdash;"<i>The sword shall not depart from thine house!</i>"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Three thousand years after this, a priest, sent into an English House of
+      Lords by the nomination of the king, affirms there, that "he had 'high
+      authority' for stating, that the king could not commit <i>folly</i>. much
+      less <i>crime!"</i> right? <span class="pagenum"><a name="link138"
+      id="link138"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p138.jpg">138</a></span>If
+      he does say this, I ask him, how long, after oppression should be
+      exercised through the prerogative by virtually irresponsible ministers and
+      be declared no wrong, he supposes that a king of England could sit on the
+      throne, or the bishops who maintain the doctrine, sit either at its right
+      hand in the Lords, or any where else? I tell this bishop, that though the
+      law may not suppose it possible for a king of England to do wrong, because
+      it intends him to do right, yet if he <i>should</i> do, and <i>continue</i>
+      to do, oppressive wrong, not all the bishops of England, nor all the
+      bayonets of all the mercenaries of Europe, could keep that king upon the
+      throne of an oppressed people against their united will.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      A king of England is not king in his own right, or by hereditary right.
+      The nation is not a patrimony. He is not king by his own power; but in
+      right of, and by the power of the law. He is not king above the law; but
+      by, or under, the law. All the authority that he has, is given to him by
+      law; and he can only rule <i>according</i> to law: for were he to rule <i>against</i>
+      the law, he would be <i>king</i> against the law, and depose himself. The
+      law is the Sovereign, or paramount authority; hence, a king of England is
+      a subject; and in this respect, he and all the people are upon a level
+      before the law&mdash;they are all his fellow-subjects ; though, as chief
+      magistrate, he is the <i>first</i> subject of the law.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      A king of England who regards the happiness of the people, and his own
+      safety, would not wish to be stronger <span class="pagenum"><a
+      name="link139" id="link139"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p139.jpg">139</a></span>than
+      the law founded on the public will, makes him. More strength would be
+      unnecessary to <i>his</i> welfare, and hurtful to theirs. All power <i>over
+      others</i>, from the watch-box to the throne, tends to injure the
+      understanding, and corrupt the heart. A good King would not desire
+      unlimited power; a bad one would abuse it. He would become mad; and drive
+      the people mad. A despot is a demon. Artillery and fetters with the royal
+      robe flung over them&mdash;a cannon ball capped with the royal crown&mdash;animated
+      by the royal will&mdash;crushing, burning, and butchering liberty,
+      property, and human life&mdash;personify the power of an unlimited King.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The ensuing satire shows the folly and danger of such power. It is a
+      partial revival of the <i>Jure Divino</i>, written by Daniel De Foe in
+      1706. After the lapse of a century, nearly the same reason exists for the
+      publication as the author adduced on its first appearance. It had never
+      appeared, he says, "had not the world seemed to be going mad a second time
+      with the error of passive obedience and non-resistance." It is not
+      precisely so now: the <i>people</i> have not gone mad, but a <i>bishop</i>
+      has, who may bite his brethren; and there is a slavish party of High
+      Church zealots and pulpit casuists in the country who virtually support
+      the doctrine&mdash;although if they attempt reducing it to practice, they
+      may dig a pit beneath the throne, and engulph the dynasty. To expose this
+      destructive doctrine, and disentangle the threads so artfully twisted into
+      snares for the unwary by <span class="pagenum"><a name="link140"
+      id="link140"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p140.jpg">140</a></span>priestcraft,
+      De Foe composed his Satire. He was the ablest politician of his day, an
+      energetic writer, and, better than all, an honest man; but not much of a
+      poet. The <i>Jure Divino</i> is defective in arrangement and
+      versification. It is likewise disfigured by injudicious repetition; a
+      large portion is devoted to the politics of the time, and it is otherwise
+      unfit for republication entire ; but it abounds with energetic thoughts,

+    </p>

+      Its real value consists in exhibiting an entire and luminous view of the

+      love of Liberty is unexcelled by any work written since; and for
+      clearness, richness, and beauty of style, it is superior to every

+      touches, he turns into gold. I regret to say that most probably I shall
+      never be at liberty to disclose his name.

+      Naturally desirous that such a work should be perused by all England, I

+          their governments, of exercising this office of Heaven's
+          vicegerents? Crafty, dishonest arts, oppression, extortion,
+          and, above all,  fire and sword. They dared to ape the
+          thunder and lightning of Heaven, and, assisted by the
+          machinations of the grand adversary of man, rendered their
+          imitative contrivances for destruction more terrible and
+          deadly than the original. Their imperial robe derived its
+          deep crimson colour from human blood; and the gold and
+          diamonds of their diadems were accumulated treasures wrung
+          from the famished bowels of the poor, born only to toil for
+          others, to be robbed, to be wounded, to be trodden under
+          foot, and forgotten in an early grave. How few, in com-
+          parison, have reached the age of three score and ten, and
+          yet, in the midst of youth and health, their days lifive
+          been full of labour and sorrow. Heaven's vicegerents seldom
+          bestowed a thought npon them, except when it was necessary
+          either to inveigle or to force them to take the sword and
+          march to slaughter. Where God caused the sun to shine gaily,
+          and scattered plenty over the land, his vicegerents diffused
+          famine and solitude. The valley, which laughed with corn,
+          they watered with the tear of artificial hunger and distress
+        ; the plain that was bright with verdure, and gay with
+          flowerets, they dyed red with gore. They operated on the
+          world as the blast of an east wind, as a pestilence, as a
+          deluge, as a conflagration.&mdash;It is an incontrovertible
+          axiom, that all who are born into tlie world, have a right
+          to be as happy in it as the un-avoidable evils of nature,
+          and their own disordered passions will allow. The gtand
+          object of all good government, of all govern-ment that is
+          not an usurpation, must be to promote this happi-ness, to
+          assist every individual in its attainment and security. A
+          government chiefly anxious about the emoluments of office,
+          chiefly employed in augmenting its own power, and
+          aggrandizing its obsequious instruments, while it neglects
+          the comfort and safety of individuals in middle or low life,
+          is despotic and a nui-sance. It is founded on folly as well
+          as wickedness, and, like the freaks of insanity, deals
+          mischief and misery around, without be-ing able to ascertain
+          or limit its extent and duration. If it should not be
+          punished as criminal, let it be cosrced as dangerous. &mdash;
+          Spirit of Despotism, p. 90.
+
+     The greatest curses any age have known
+     Have issued from the temple, or the throne;
+     Extent of ill from kings at first begins,
+     But priests must aid, and consecrate their sins.
+
+          The tortured subject might be heard complain,
+          When sinking nnder a new weight of chain,
+          Or more rebellious, might perhaps repine,

+     Let us to Scripture History appeal,
+     And see what truths its ancient rolls reveal:&mdash;
+     That great authority which Tyrants boast,
+     As most confirming, will confound them most!
+     When Israel with unheard of murmurs first,
+     Pray'd to indulgent Heaven they might be curst,
+     Rejected God, scorn'd his Almighty rule,
+     And made themselves their children's ridicule,
+     A standing banter, future ages' jest,
+     As damn'd to slavery at their own request&mdash;
+     With what just arguments did Samuel plead,
+     Give them the Tyrant's character to read;
+     Explain the lust of an ungovern'd man,
+     Show them the danger, preach to them in vain;
+     Tell them the wretched things they'd quickly find,
+     Within the pleasing name of King combined;
+     Deign with their'wilder'd crowds t' expostulate,
+     And open all the dangers of their fate!&mdash;
+     Yet they sought ruin with unwearied pains,
+     And begg'd for fetters, slavery, and chains!
+
+     But, it's replied, heaven heard its suppliant's prayer,
+     Itself chose out the King, and plac'd him there;
+     Disown'd the People's right, and fix'd their choice
+     In providence, and not the people's voice;
+     From whence the claim of right by regal line,
+     Made Israel's Kings be Kings by Right Divine.
+

+     Gave all that they pretended to require,
+     But in the gift he punish'd the desire;
+     He gave a plague, the very selfsame thing
+     They ask'd, when they petition'd for a King!
+
+     For 'tis remarkable when Samuel saw,
+     They'd have a King in spite of sense or law,
+     He told the consequences to the land,
+     And all the mischiefs that the Word contain'd;
+     Told them, that Kings were instruments design'd,
+     Not to improve, but to correct mankind!
+
+     Told them the Tyrant would insult their peace,
+     And plunder them of all their happiness!
+
+     Told them, that Kings were but exalted thieves,
+     Would rob men first, and then would make them slaves!
+
+     Then drew the picture of a monster crown'd,
+     Ask'd them, if  such a villain could be found, *
+     Whether they'd like him, and their tribute bring?
+     They answer, Yes:&mdash;let such a man be King!
+
+          * It is remarkable, that a king scarcely ever exercised
+          tyran-nical power over the people, but it was mingled with
+          ungoverned vice in himself. Men of virtue and moderation
+          seldom, if ever, turn tyrants. Despotic rule gives the reins
+          to lust, and makes the errors of government, and the crimes
+          of life, mix together. It is the high road to cruelty and
+          brutalizing selfishness.&mdash;A king of France took out his
+          watch when he guessed that the axe was cutting off the head
+          of his favoritè, and said; 'My dear friend must make a sad
+          figure just now!'&mdash;A hill in Richmond Park is still shewn as

+          moment when one of his wives was suffering death on the
+          scaffold!
+
+     And is a Tyrant King your early choice?
+     "<i>Be Kings your plague!</i>"   said the Eternal's voice;

+     Tho' Heaven declar'd him, heaven itself set down
+     The sacred <i>Postulata</i> of the crown;
+     Samuel examin'd first the high record,
+     Then dedicates the substance to the Lord.
+
+     This is the <i>coronation-oath</i>, the bond,
+     The steps on which the throne and kingdom stand;
+     For which, by future Kings unjustly broke,
+     God, and the People, mighty vengeance took! *
+
+          * Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and
+          wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. (1
+          Samuel, x. 25.) It is plain, the word manner signifies the
+          constitution of the government, or the conditiom on which
+          Saul was to be king, namely, according to justice and law;
+          and this is meant in frequent expressions, by going in and
+          out before them, referring to justice being executed in the
+          gates, and peace and war; the king was to lead them in one,
+          and direct in the other. This manner of the kingdom was told
+          to all the people, and that implied, that the consent of the
+          people was requisite to make him king, without which, though
+          Samuel had anointed him, he was not owned by the Israelites,
+          bnt went about his private affairs till after the victory
+          over the Ammonites. Then the manner of the kingdom was
+          written in a book&mdash;a token of its being a compact between
+          Saul and the people; and Samuel's laying it up before the
+          Lord, is equivalent to an oath recorded on both sides; for
+          it was there as a witness between the king and the people,
+          and served both as their oath of allegiance, and his oath of
+          government.&mdash;All this being done, what followed? All the
+          people went to Gilgal, and there they (mark the word) made
+          Saul king.&mdash;(l Samuel,i. 15.)

+     Then mark the needful steps to make him King,
+     How sacred ends, concurring means must bring;
+     Not Samuel's ointment, not the mighty lot,
+     Could make him King, nor force his title out.
+
+     The people like not his mechanic race,
+     They see no greatness in his youthful face:&mdash;
+     "Is this the monarch shall our foes destroy,
+     Does heaven design to rule us by a <i>boy</i>?"
+
+     The flouting Rabbies cry! "We scorn to own,
+     A man that has no merit for a crown.
+     Our King must lead the glorious tribes to fight,
+     And chase the thousands of the Ammonite:
+     His pers'nal valour must our triumphs bring,
+     'Tis such a man we want, and such a King."
+
+     Away they go, reject his government,
+     Not Heav'n's high choice could force their due consent!
+     Samuel submits, adjourns the strong debate,
+     Suspends the King he offered to create;
+     Owns <i>their dislike's a high material thing,
+     That their Consent alone could make him King!</i>
+
+     Why did not God displeasure then express,
+     Resent the slight, and punish their excess;
+     Extort obedience by express command,
+     And crown his choice by his immediate hand;
+     Destroy the Rebels with his blasting breath,
+     And punish early treason with their death;
+     With mighty thunders his new King proclaim,
+     And force the trembling tribes to do the same?
+
+     Because He knew it was the course of things,
+     And <i>Nature's law</i>, that men should <i>choose</i> their Kings;
+     He knew the early dictate was his own,
+     That reason acted from himself alone.*
+
+          * It is alledged, that the vulgar are not capable of judging
+          coucerning principles of government; I answer, they are
+          then not capable of beiug guilty of transgression; for where
+          there is a want of capacity of judgment, there can be no
+          sin. This is a dangerous argument, my Lords, and exposes
+          government to the violence of every one who can overturn it
+          with impunity. You have no defence against any person in
+          this case who is resolute, except superior strength; for
+          the gallows will not frighten a man who is not conscious of
+          guilt, if he has any degree of natural fortitude. Try to
+          persuade the vulgar that there is any case in which they
+          cannot sin, and you will soon perceive what opera-tion it
+          will have upon them. But when you tell them they are not
+          judges of your manouvres of state, they will soon tell you
+          that they cannot transgress what they do not understand and
+          that you require of them more than the Deity requires of
+          them, or even supposes; for he requires no duty without
+          first allowing men to judge of his laws, and makes no laws
+          beyond the reach of their understandings.

+          James I., and speaking of himself and brethren as to worldly
+          advantages, he certainly spoke the truth. Before the Kings
+          of England were heads of the Church we heard little of
+          divine right, and some-times the Church itself was seen on
+          the side of freedom; since that time, never. The doctrine
+          in England, that the King can do no wrong, supposes the

+          Reverend exposition of this kingly privi-lege in regard to
+          Adultery. The Bishop leaped from political to moral
+          delinquency, with a casuistry worthy an admirer of the royal
+          power of translation. The Abbe de Choisy, a Priest of the
+          same school as the British Father in God, though not of the
+          same church, dedicated an edition of Thomas à Kempis, on the
+          'Imitation of Christ' to Madame de Maintenon, a courtesan
+          and mistress to Louis XIV., prefixing this motto: "Hear oh!

+
+          The Court's a golden but a fatal circle,

+          * A Courtier's loyalty is charmingly pictured in the
+          portrait of Bubb Doddington, drawn by himself in his
+          celebrated Diary. He was by trade a Boroughmonger, and his
+          stock, consisted of six Members in the House of Commons,
+          which he jobbed about and sold to the best bidder. At the
+          close of his bargain and sale of the whole in a lump to the
+          Duke of Newcastle for the king's service, there is a finish
+          which renders the painting a fiue and matchless Cabinet
+          specimen.&mdash;Bubb, who had been in disgrace at court for
+          selling them elsewhere, said to tlie duke, "I knew I had
+          given no just cause of offence, but that I could not justify
+          it with His Majesty; that it was enough that He (the king)
+          was displeased, to make me think that I was in the wrong,
+          and to beg Him to forget it: I would not even be in the
+          right against HIM!" The duke was delighted with this loyal
+          and dutiful submission. Bubb says, "He took me up in his
+          arms, and kissed me twice!" and Bubb was rewarded for
+          laying his six members of the honorable house at the foot of
+          the throne with the price he stipulated for&mdash;namely, the
+          treasurership of the navy, and a peerage! The story was
+          beautifully and most impressively related by the excellent-

+     Then, under colour or pretence of law,
+     Villains their victims to the shambles draw,
+     Where sat the scoundrel Chief in ermined pride,

+          owner, Naboth, and offered him either a vineyard for it, or
+          the worth of it in money; but Naboth would neither exchange
+          nor sell it, and Ahab returned home so vexed, that he went
+          to bed and would not eat any thing. Naboth having thus
+          displeased the king, the courtiers got up a charge of
+          Blasphemy and Sedition against him by means of false
+          wituesses hired on purpose; he was found guilty and
+          executed, and Ahab got possession of the garden, probably as
+          a forfeiture to the crown. It is clear, therefore, that
+          Ahab's power was restrained by law, for it was not until
+          Nabot was murdered <i>under the forms of law</i>, that the king
+          could get the poor man's property. Another thing is very
+          remarkable: as soon as the murder was completed, and the
+          king had got the garden, there was an honest Father in God,
+          who, instead of saying 'the king could do no wrong,' went to
+          his majesty, charged him with the crime, and denounced his
+          downfall, which happened accordingly, through his listening
+          to flattering ecclesiastics, and his fondness for military

+
+          Ben Jonson.
+
+          The ears of kings are so tiugled with a continual uniform
+          ap-probation, that they have scarce any knowledge of true
+          praise. Have they to do with the greatest fool of all their
+          subjects&mdash;they have no way to take advantage of him: by the
+          flatterer saying, "It is because he is my king," he thinks
+          he has said enough to imply that he therefore suffered
+          himself to be over-come. This quality stifles and confuses
+          the other true and es-sential qualities which are sunk deep
+          in the kingship.

+

+
+          ** Edward IV.
+
+          *** Henry VI.
+
+          **** Richard III. was succeeded by Henry VII. who had
+          clearly no claim to the crown from blood. After him it still
+          devolved with irregularity, although uuder the Tudors, the
+          doctrine of hereditary right was as vaguely maintained as
+          before. Thus, a Parliament granted to Henry VIII. the power
+          of regulating the succession by will, and it was by
+          pretending to exercise a similar power under an alleged will
+          of Edward VI. that the unprincipled Northumberland sought
+          the establishment of Lady Jane Grey. Elizabeth, on the same
+          ground, was importuned to appoint a suc-cessor, at
+          intervals, during the last twenty years of her reign; and
+          finally, named the King of Scotland in her last moments.
+          These are strange incidents for the advocates of Divine
+          Right! The fact is, this wretched theory was never formally
+          advocated until the days of James I.; and it may be
+          considered to be one of the precions fruits of that settled
+          connexion between Church and State, of which the Despot,
+          Henry VIII., laid the foun-dation. Yet no Despot ever
+          supported himself steadily on an English throne; and what is
+          there to prove, that such men ever can? Look at King
+          Richard II., he was a finished gentle-man, possessed some
+          taste for literature, and shewed himself as. fond of finery
+          as need be; but he waged war with the common sense of the
+          realm and the rights of the people,&mdash;and finally, by
+          entrusting his power to weak, inefficient, and corrupt
+          ministers, roused the anger of a distressed and overtaxed
+          community. Moral&mdash;They were beheaded, and he was dethroned.

+
+          Alfred the Great is the only King in our annals who being
+          guilty of misgovernment, and seeing its evils had the high
+          courage to acknowledge his crime by amendment. At the
+          commencement of his reign he seemed to consider his exalted
+          dignity as an emancipation from restraint, and to have found
+          leisure, even amidst his struggles with the Danes, to
+          indulge the irapetuosity of his passions. His immorality and
+          despotism provoked the censure of the virtuous; he was
+          haughty to his subjects, neglected the administration of
+          justice, and treated with contempt the complaints of the
+          indigent and oppressed. In the eighth year of his reign he
+          was driven from the throne by the Danes. Narrowly escaping
+          death and enduring many hardships, adversity brought
+          reflection. According to the piety of the age, instead of
+          tracing events to their political sources, he referred them
+          immediately to the providence of God; and considered his
+          misfortunes as the instrument with which Divine Justice
+          punished his past enormities. By his prudence and valour he
+          regaiued the throne, and drew np a code of laws by which he
+          ordained the governmeat should be administered. Magistrates
+          trembled at his stern impartiality and inflexibility. He
+          executed forty-four judges in one year for their informal
+          and iniquitous proceedings. Hence their survivors and
+          successors were careful to acquire a competent degree of
+          knowledge, and their decisions became accordant to the law.
+          Discovering that the only real foundation of national
+          happiness is in the enlightenment of the people, he
+          instructed them himself by his writings, endowed
+          establishments for the promotion of Education, and became
+          the guardian and benefactor of his country.*&mdash;His virtues
+          were the fruit of early instruction. When he was a child,
+          his mother, Osburga, awakened in him a passion for learning
+          aud knowledge. Holding in her hand a Saxon poem, elegantly
+          written and beautifully illnminated, she offered it as a
+          reward to the first of her children whose proficiency should
+          enable him to read it to her. The emulation of Alfred was
+          excited: he ran to his master, applied to the task with
+          diligence, performed it to the satisfaction of the queen,
+          and received the prize of his industry. His mind thus opened
+          by this excellent woman, she dropped in the seeds of
+          knowledge; by careful culture they grew into wisdom, and
+          Alfred is one of the most illustrious instances of the
+          endless blessings conferred upon man by Education.
+
+          From the banks of the strong hold of Corfe Castle, in
+          Dorsetshire, near Wareham, formerly a station of the Danish
+          barbariaus, one of their successors making good his lodgment
+          in a nameless House denies the justice of Universal
+          Education, forgetful, perhaps, that the benighted savages,
+          his predecessors, were finally expelled by Alfred; that it
+          was the triumph of Knowledge and Liberty over Ignorance and
+          Selfish power; and that Alfred, disdaining to use the
+          advantage whick Education gave him over the rest of the
+          people, othirwise than for their welfare, incessuntly
+          laboured to dispense its benefits to All.

+      My first intention was to parody Slop's paper, 'The Slop-tail,' or 'Much
+      Times,' throughout. But he is as vapid as the Marquess of Lunnunderry. *
+      What could I do with thoughts as unquotable, as confused, as ill
+      conceived, as ill expressed, as that <i>puissante</i> ** Lord's &mdash;without
+      depth or originality&mdash;as plentiful and superficial as duck-weed.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      I found not a sparkle of talent in any of Slop's lean 'leaders' to re-pay
+      me the trouble of wearisome reading. Under the 'stringent necessity' of
+      varying my original plan, yet loth to abandon it altogether, I have
+      parodied some of the features common to the Slop-pail, and supplied the
+      department I had allotted to an imitation of his mindless verbiage with a
+      sketch of his Life&mdash;filling the remainder of the sheet in my own way.
+      There are discrepancies inseparable from this course, but I write to
+      good-humoured readers, who have no objection to see the mind as well as
+      the person of a friend in undress, and who take as little interest in the
+      decision of the High Court of Criticism on things of this sort, as they
+      took in the decision of the 'Court of Claims' concerning the 'imposing'
+      ceremony of the coronation, and things of that sort.,

+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      The origin and the end of this man are alike uncertain. He was sent to
+      Oxford when young, as a student destined for holy orders, under the
+      patronage of the Bishop of Durham.

+      of conscience; for, in consequence of an honest course of reading, he
+      refused to subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles. Thus disqualifying
+      himself from being a candidate for the 'imposition of hands' by the
+      Bishop, he for ever relinquished the prospect of entrance into the church,
+      and cultivated his mind by reading Paine's <i>Rights of Man.</i>
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Fascinated by the writings of Mrs. Mary Wollstoncrofft, more especially by
+      her celebrated '<i>Vindication of the Rights of Woman,</i>' he assiduously
+      sought that lady's acquaintance, and having obtained the desired honour,
+      cultivated her intimacy with passionate admiration. On the appearance of
+      Mr. Godwin's '<i>Inquiry concerning Moral and Political Justice</i>,' he
+      read and studied it with doting enthusiasm; the chapters on <i>Property</i>,
+      and on <i>the Sexual Intercourse</i>, were particularly to his taste&mdash;the
+      chapter on <i>Sincerity</i>, not so much. Hungering for a personal
+      friendship with the author of the <i>Political Justice</i>, who became the
+      husband of Mrs. Wollstoncrofft, he humbled himself before him, beseeching
+      permission to consider that philosopher as his Gamaliel, and to sit at his
+      feet as the least of his disciples. This was granted, and in that school
+      he commenced an intimacy with Mr. Thomas Holcroft and his friends. That
+      gentleman had just been released from imprisonment, under indictments for
+      high treason, with Messrs. Hardy, Horne Tooke, and Thelwall, who were
+      tried and acquitted of the charge; and at this time Slop's political
+      fervor rose above the temperament of the most hot-blooded among the
+      patriots he associated with. It had been fashionable to wear the hair long
+      and. tied; he thought this aristocratic, cut his hair off to look like a
+      democrat, became a <i>round-head</i>, and was called <i>Citizen S</i>. At
+      length he was marked out from his fellows by the distinguishing
+      appellation of '<i>the Jacobin</i>,' and he became a <i>Leveller</i>.
+      Affixing to the words 'Liberty and Equality,' an interpretation of his
+      own, he contended with the <i>Spenceans</i>, that there could be no real
+      Liberty without Equality so he preached the doctrine of <i>all things in
+      common</i>; and prevailed on a young man who had imbibed some of his
+      notions, to aid him in proving its advantages. In an attic chamber in the
+      Temple they founded a <i>community of goods</i>&mdash;lived on short
+      commons &mdash;and waited on each other. Here Slop lighted the fire, and
+      fetched water from the Temple pump for their joint use, till, tired of the
+      pitcher-duty, he proposed <span class="pagenum"><a name="link197"
+      id="link197"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p197.jpg">197</a></span>transferring
+      the undignified office to his companion, who declined to accept it; and a
+      fierce quarrel arising in this 'perfect state of society,' concerning
+      rights and duties, the Commonwealth of two ceased to exist.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In this exigency, moderation, which at one time he seems to have thought
+      criminal, became expedient on many accounts. About 1796 he visited
+      Scotland, with letters of recommendation to respectable society; yet his
+      wild opinions on religion and politics caused him to be disliked by some
+      of the most respectable students who held Whig principles, and who, still
+      holding them, dislike and shun him now for his extreme violence in another
+      direction. When at Edinburgh, he affected singularity of habit as well as
+      thought, and paraded the streets, especially the Leith-Walk, in a drab
+      dress of romantic simplicity. On his return from Scotland, he employed
+      himself in writing for the booksellers. In 1798 he translated the play of
+      Don Carlos, from the German of Schiller, and presented his friend, Mr.
+      Holcroft, with a copy, who says, that 'he executed his task respectably.'
+      * On the 5th of August, in that year, he dined with Mr. Godwin and Mr.
+      Parry (the Republican Editor of the Courier Newspaper when it was
+      conducted on democratic principles), at the house of Mr. Holcroft, where,
+      according to that gentleman's diary, ** he was, 'as usual, acute; but
+      pertinacious and verbose. On the 25th of November, he wrote to Mr.
+      Holcroft, complaining of neglect, *** who answered by denying such
+      intention; and indeed his intimacy with the <i>coterie</i> at Mr.
+      Holcroft's, was of the closest nature, and his attachment to that
+      philosopher's principles and person so strong, that he proposed
+      intermarriage with his family, which was declined. He remained ardently
+      devoted to the new philosophy, long after Mr. Holcroft's death, and until
+      Mr. Godwin found it convenient to decline his wearisome acquaintance.
+      Fickleness and obstinacy, and the exercise of a faculty for incessant
+      disputation, rendered his society very tedious to the philosophers.
+      Fruitless attempts to repress or soften his pugnacious turn, exhausted
+      their patience. In defence of themselves, they disregarded and finally cut
+      him;&mdash;so <span class="pagenum"><a name="link198" id="link198"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p198.jpg">198</a></span>that it became the <i>New

+      He rambled to conceal his discontent, and to get fresh notions and fresh
+      friends. A pedestrian tour through Scotland, with letters of
+      recommendation, and a pliability of manner accommodated to his new views,
+      effected both. He published his <i>Tour</i> in 1801. It is written with
+      extreme caution. His real opinions are kept out of the book as much as
+      possible; yet they occasionally peep forth; for instance, he says, 'We
+      seem inspired with enthusiasm to fall down and worship the golden image of
+      commerce; let us not wholly submit our feelings to our purses, and
+      counters, and ledgers&mdash;we may be very rich in products, and
+      manufactures, and population, and very poor in the spirits and minds of
+      men!' *&mdash;he dare not put that in his Slop-pail. In the <i>Tour</i>,
+      he speaks in praise of the Rev. Sir Henry Moscreiff
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Wellwood, a Scottish Baronet of Whig principles, whose daughter he
+      afterwards married, whether from <i>innate love of legitimacy</i>, or
+      what, is unknown. Before he wrote the <i>Tour</i>, he procured the degree
+      of LL.D. (as the Laureate has done since), and the philosopher, who had
+      refused subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles to the Church of England,
+      and had been in turn a Republican, a Jacobin, a Leveller, and a Spencean,
+      became a Doctor of Laws, and sunk into the wig and gown of an advocate in
+      the Ecclesiastical Court! Resuming an intimacy with some young men of his
+      own stamp, who knew him at college, they obtained a place for him&mdash;he
+      was made king's advocate at Malta. So fell Slop. Here ended his career of
+      what he called Patriotism. He mistook passionate heat for the enthusiasm
+      of genius, a habit of loud talking for talent, a ranting way of writing
+      for reasoning, and pertinacity of manner for firmness of character. His
+      vain disputations occasioned him to be noticed, and this he thought equal
+      to being admired. Conceit of ability rendered him covetous of distinction;
+      he acquired it&mdash;

+      Vacating his place at Malta in favour of his brother-in-law, and coming

+      he procured an engagement from the proprietors of <i>The Times</i> as a
+      writer in that journal. His labours in this way were ardent, but
+      profitable to nobody but himself. On the return of Napoleon from Elba, the

+      allied despots&mdash;fell flat on his face in worship of legitimacy&mdash;and
+      affected a beatific vision of the political millenium in the restoration
+      of the Bourbons. He soon honoured Napoleon with all the obnoxious

+      The persecution of the French Protestants on the restoration of Louis
+      XVIII. and their massacre at <i>Nismes</i>, occasioned the English
+      Protestants to interest themselves heartily for their relief. The
+      Committee of Dissenters at Dr, Williams's <i>Library in Red-Cross-street</i>
+      inquired into the facts, published a verifying Report, and took measures
+      for sending pecuniary succours. Seeking to earn the wages of his
+      prostitution by slavering the hoof of tyranny, and maddened that Bourbon
+      bigotry should be obstructed in its operation, Slop denied the truth of
+      the statements, vilified the whole body of English Dissenters, imputed
+      their humanity to unworthy and scandalous motives, and threw as many
+      daring fabrications as his mercenary pen could create in the way of their
+      efforts. With undaunted audacity he gave the lie direct to his

+      courage of his heart, became President of a Public Meeting at Edinburgh,
+      and inspirited the Protestants of Scotland to co-operate in a national
+      subscription for the persecuted. When Slop's slanders were successfully

+      Harnessed with other hacks to the machine of tyranny, he must answer to
+      the lash of the driver, and drag it along, or be trampled over. Smack went

+      monstrous experiment to write up the advantages of a shackled press in
+      France. Dr. Slop undertook the task, and joining to himself another
+      Doctor, the Poet Laureate, they united with persons of similar
+      qualifications in France, and commenced operations by announcing a
+      publication called the '<i>Correspondent</i>,' which was to appear at
+      London in the English, and at Paris in the French language on the same
+      day. It was conducted on the plan of a 'Class-meeting' among the
+      Methodists, where each relates his 'experience.' But neither the French
+      nor the English cared a <i>sous</i> about the political 'experience' of
+      Doctor Slop, Doctor Southey, or the mad Viscount Chateaubriand. Besides,
+      the Poet Laureate, instead of telling his own 'experience,' told, a long
+      story about the Rev. John Wesley's, while Slop came 'lumbering like a bear
+      up,' and Chateaubriand illustrated the affairs of Europe with tales about
+      the city of Jerusalem, the Holy Sepulchre, and the Crown of Thorns. The
+      'Correspondent' fell still-born amid the laughter of the few people of
+      both nations who knew of its coming forth, and perhaps there are only five
+      persons in England who remember it even by name&mdash;Messrs. Longman,

+      Devoid of political principle, Slop's real source of action is pure
+      selfishness. His end and aim are antisocial, because his <i>Slop-pail</i>
+      can only exist during political strife. He would inflame the passions of
+      ministers and their minions, to vex and to harass the people, that the
+      people may be irritated into resistance against persecution. He and his

+      Pending the prosecution of the Queen, the Rev. Solomon Piggott, Curate of
+      St. James's, Clerkenwell, and St. Antholin's, Watling-Street, a man of
+      weak and restless mind, conceived the idea of publishing Caricatures, by
+      Public Subscription, in ridicule of her Majesty and her supporters. He
+      communicated this design to Dr. Slop, who engaged heartily in the plan.
+      Subscribers were advertised for, and were formed into a body, called 'The
+      Loyal Association,' and Mr. Charles Bicknell, of No. 3, Spring Garden
+      Terrace, the Solicitor to the Admiralty, was the Treasurer. Piggott wrote
+      maudlin prose and wretched verse, and illustrated his unintellectual
+      labours with coloured caricatures. These were issued to the world through
+      a Publisher of Obscenity, while they were powerfully puffed by Slop in his
+      Slop-pail, and Piggott himself cringed, his way to Court, and presented
+      the talentless trash to his Majesty in person, who received it most
+      graciously; and, as an encouragement to his labours, subscribed for forty
+      sets of one of his works at a guinea each. But the public judgment refused
+      the rinsings of the sycophant parson's brain; and the united efforts of
+      'the Loyal Association' being inadequate to produce a single article of
+      ability from the press, they turned their thoughts towards an attack upon
+      the Press itself. They were deplorably 'poor in the spirits and minds of
+      men,' but 'their purses, and counters, and ledgers,' were productive, and
+      at one of their meetings they abandoned the project of a Series of
+      Publications, and determined to commence a Series of Prosecutions. The
+      notorious John Reeves, a plentifully-endowed placeman, who had thrown the
+      country into a state of alarm by a Loyal Association in 1793, entered into
+      these views; but, as the term Loyal had acquired an unfavourable odour,
+      they changed their name from 'the Loyal Association,' to 'the
+      Constitutional Association.' Piggott's Treasurer, Mr. Bicknell, with John
+      Reeves (both lawyers), got Sir John Sewell (also a lawyer), a pensioner in
+      the Red Book, to become the president of the confederacy. They appointed
+      Charles Murray (another lawyer), their 'Honorary Secretary', a very
+      acceptable post to a hungry attorney, who had quartered part of his family
+      in public situations. He eagerly <span class="pagenum"><a name="link204"
+      id="link204"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p204.jpg">204</a></span>embraced
+      the office of their Old-Bailey Solicitor; it brought him fees, and perhaps
+      he expected it might bring him clients. They were joined by Longueville
+      Clarke (also a lawyer), and the son of a person holding an appointment in
+      a Government Establishment. John Poynder (also a lawyer) resident in
+      Bridewell, to which, as well as Bethlem (two other Government
+      Establishments), he is Clerk and Attorney, had been compelled to resign
+      his office of Secretary to the Bible Society, and was at full leisure to
+      become an active confederate. Intercourse with the prisoners in Newgate
+      had given a certain turn to his views; a drinker of port wine himself, he
+      had descanted, before a Committee of the House of Commons, on the
+      wickedness of common gin; with a good comfortable house over his head, at
+      the public expense, he had disturbed poor old apple-women who sought an
+      independent living 'in summer's heat and winter's cold he had also a
+      horror, upon public principle, of street organs in the evening; and, like
+      his friend Slop, he had experienced the mortification of having his
+      defamatory, and 'mewling and puling' writings rejected by '<i>The Times</i>'&mdash;the
+      new concern was quite to his taste. Slop (himself a lawyer) became the
+      Horn-boy of the Gang,&mdash;to blow the 'great news,' the 'extraordinary
+      new's,' of their proceedings&mdash;to puff their attacks upon the Free
+      Press of the People&mdash;to assist in raising the flame of alarm
+      throughout the country&mdash;and to give the earliest intelligence of
+      their Prosecutions. This paid Slop well, for the trouble he had with
+      Parson Solomon, in laying the Plot; for, as the adherents to it increased,
+      they took especial care to give their support and influence to the
+      hireling paper, from whence Slop derives the means of supporting his
+      tawdry existence. By these measures, the weak-minded were terrified out of
+      subscriptions for anti-social objects; and the selfish crew having
+      gathered around them the chief priests, and the pharisees, and some of the
+      fattest amongst the placeholders, pensioners, and tax-eaters, who exist
+      upon the people's labour, they fitted up an office at Walker's Hotel, No.
+      6, New Bridge Street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of more conveniently
+      carrying on the imposture. From this 'Den' they put forth a specious
+      Address, which is rendered into pretty intelligible language in subsequent

+      DR. SLOP'S OBSCENITY.
+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      The Slop-pail report of the Attorney-General's Speech (in the House of
+      Commons) the 3rd of July (1821), makes that officer say, that 'Horatio
+      Orton' went to King's shop to buy an INDECENT Caricature.' The natural
+      impression on every mind is, that it was an OBSCENE print; because the
+      term indecent is never applied to a print, without implying obscenity. It
+      was not only quite in character for <i>Slop</i>, who amused his readers
+      with the obscenity of 'FRESH FIG-LEAVES FOR ADAM AND EVE,' but it suited
+      his purpose as a Member of the Bridge-Street Gang, to fix OBSCENITY upon a
+      political caricature. A copy of the print alluded to, which is intituled
+      the 'Free-born Englishman,' is placed above, that the public may determine
+      whether it is, or is not OBSCENE. Every one who looks at it will naturally
+      be astonished at the impudence of the imputation, and some perhaps be
+      induced to call the utterer by that short but natural appellation which no
+      honest man in society ever applied but to a miscreant, who ought to have
+      it burnt in upon his forehead as a mark to avoid him by. A 'curtain'
+      before this print, to save Slop from the infamy its appearance brands him
+      with, would be more serviceable to him now, than, it is to be hoped, his
+      'CURTAIN BEFORE POTIPHARS WIFE' was amusing to his readers,

+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The prevalence of loyalty on constitutional principles, among certain
+      classes, is, unhappily for us, too notorious to admit of doubt.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Possessing, as this nation does, an Administration, which is the
+      bottle-holder to the prize-fighters for the world&mdash;at peace with a
+      standing army quartered throughout the country&mdash;covered with the
+      expenses of a long, an artful, and trumpetted contest&mdash;enjoying a
+      continual enlargement of the Statutes at Large, and variorum editions of
+      Burns' Justice&mdash;and subjected to the wild and eternal palaverment of
+      Derry Down Triangle&mdash;it might have been hoped, that all pranks and
+      sprees would have ended in an humble attitude for such unexampled
+      blisterings, without an unsightly and merciless exposure of his foreign
+      presents.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      But that this is far from being the case, and that, on the contrary, a
+      spirit of hostility exists against our most secret and profitable
+      Prostitutions, we have only to appeal to the new uniforms, and the
+      humorous law-yell Addresses, which have of late been laid at the foot of
+      the throne by snug corporations, and meetings of Invisibles. Framed by
+      bodies of men of indifferent parts, without concert or communication, and
+      containing assertions drawn from active imagination and fiction, these
+      Addresses indisputably prove&mdash;at twice&mdash;the lamentable existence
+      of Liberty, and its fearful extent; they prove, that it menaces, not the
+      predominance of this or that borough, but the safety of Boroughmongering
+      itself; not the separate value of this or that puff, but the security of
+      the whole bottle of smoke.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The consequences which have already resulted from the propagation of
+      public principle, are but too obvious. Among them are to be numbered a
+      daily and weekly bond of union between the humbler ranks of society, and
+      their natural guardians and protectors&mdash;independence&mdash;disregard
+      of mere jaw&mdash;and frequent attempts to obstruct our botheration&mdash;increased
+      sale of <i>The Times</i>&mdash;renunciations of respect for the greatest
+      humbugs in the country&mdash;hatred <span class="pagenum"><a name="link213"
+      id="link213"></a><a href="../44520-page-images/p213.jpg">213</a></span>of

+      restraint&mdash;ridicule of vain and ostentatious pretenders to all sound

+      Sir Manasseh Masseh Lofez, and derangement of the great concerns and
+      enterprizes of the Court Newsmen during the Coronation.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Press, that great and abominable bore to paw-paw life&mdash;that
+      interesting machine for diffusing the scent of the Slop-pail, has
+      unhappily become, in the hands of the tax-payers, a lever, to shake the
+      very foundations of our order. Its power, which within the last century
+      has been multiplied a hundred fold, may now be said to reign paramount
+      over vice; and to those friends to themselves, who dig deep into the fat
+      of the land, it cannot but be matter of serious alarm to observe, that a
+      very large proportion of our periodical publications is under the
+      direction either of avowed enemies of the close boroughs, or of persons
+      whose sole principle of action is opposed to our own private and self-sell
+      interest. Every heart and voice is employed with daily increasing boldness
+      to render the people acquainted with the proceedings of the
+      borough-mongers&mdash;to show them that they are not represented by those
+      whom they have not elected&mdash;to seduce them from their long affliction
+      and allegiance to our sovereignty; and finally, to bring about a
+      Reformation, on which the prosperity, the internal happiness, and the
+      political greatness of the empire, must inevitably be established&mdash;and
+      our interests be sacrificed.

+      As it is clear, that isolated and single-handed exertion is utterly
+      inadequate to more than a grope at the good things arising from the
+      present state of disorder, and that we should not, perhaps, get a mouthful
+      a-piece; so it is to be feared, that the government and legislature might
+      render our contest for them difficult, without an active, zealous, and
+      persevering botheration against the reformingly disposed individuals of
+      the community, which botheration, to be effectual, must be a running fire,
+      and a continued insult towards such individuals.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Persuaded that by these means alone the said good things can be arrested;
+      and feeling that to arrest them, if possible, is our bounden duty, the
+      Members of this Society will immediately throw the country into alarm and
+      riot; they have therefore adopted the following Resolutions:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      1st. That they will use their best exertions to maintain Mr. Murray, and
+      to support the due execution of his law.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      2nd. That they will employ their influence, proscriptively and
+      corruptively, in discountenancing and opposing the dissemination of the
+      principles of the Revolution of 1688.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      3rd. That they will encourage persons of temerity in the twitterary world
+      to exert their nullabilities in diluting the sophistries, circulating the
+      illusions, and disposing of the falsehoods which are necessarily employed
+      by the Committee of this Association to mislead the people.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      4th That they will resort to such expedients as Mr. Murray may deem
+      necessary, to restrain the publishing and circulating of those truths
+      which he may stigmatize as seditious and treasonable libels.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In <span class="pagenum"><a name="link214" id="link214"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p214.jpg">214</a></span>wishing that the Press
+      should be securely chained, the Members of this Society have no desire to
+      limit their own bother. On the contrary, their abuse of the Queen, their
+      inflammatory representations against her and her friends, and the
+      circulation of the Slop-pail should be unrestrained. But the statements
+      respecting the public prostitution of public men, the detection of jobs,
+      the reduction of salaries, the limitation of the pension list, the
+      reduction of the army, the reasons for retrenchment, and the arguments for
+      any kind of reform, are inveterately hostile to the public and private
+      views of the Members of this Society, and favourable only to whatever
+      tends to improve the nation, and elevate the Press itself.&mdash;This
+      system must be suppressed.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      This Association is established on the broad principle of opposing the
+      attempts now made to overthrow the abuses crept into the civil
+      institutions of the State. It has, therefore, been determined,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      1st. To establish a Fee Fund for the use and application of Mr. Murray, as
+      he shall see fit.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      2nd. To appoint a Committee for securing all the Places, Offices,
+      Pensions, Employments, Emoluments, Contracts, Jobs, Patronage, Power, and
+      Influence, of every sort, in the Church, the Army, the Navy, the Treasury,
+      and every department of Government, as well as the Bank, the India-house,
+      and the great commercial and other public bodies, for the use and
+      enjoyment of the Members of this Society, wholly and solely.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      3rd. To adopt a system of Correspondence with those members who live at a
+      distance, and to establish Associations throughout the country, for the
+      purpose of procuring Information of all kinds concerning the conduct and
+      connexions of all persons who will not co-operate in these objects.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Most earnestly, therefore, does this Society call upon all to whom a
+      maintenance, out of the public purse, is dear, upon those who value the
+      places they hold at the expense of the country, or the permanence of the
+      present Administration, to join them in promoting these objects and
+      principles. IF THE SOCIETY BE ONCE ESTABLISHED, it will be enabled to
+      institute AN INQUISITION INTO THE PRIVATE CONCERNS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL IN
+      THE KINGDOM&mdash;turn the great body of the people into SPIES AND
+      INFORMERS upon each other&mdash;and, by ANTI-SOCIALIZING THE WHOLE
+      COMMUNITY&mdash;secure to the Society an ASCENDANCY IN CHURCH AND STATE,
+      and an ultimate assumption of all THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT. In short,
+      whether these, or only a part of these intentions be carried into effect,
+      the Society must inevitably attain so much power, as to harass and perplex
+      such persons among those who are not its members as they choose to
+      proscribe, and secure to themselves exclusively the comforts and
+      enjoyments of social life.

+      THE NEW DEVIL UPON TWO STICKS.
+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      Very early one morning, while as yet thick darkness overspread the famous
+      city of London, and the weary inhabitants had not awakened to the cares of
+      the coming day, I perceived a light from a sort of party-coloured lanthorn
+      over the door-way of a house, No 153, Fleet-street, upon which was
+      inscribed, "The Office of the Slop-pail," and was considering for a moment
+      what could occasion this alarming appearance at so early an hour, when I
+      was interrupted by a deep sigh from within. I at first thought it was a
+      nocturnal illusion; but being interrupted again in the same manner, I took
+      it for something real, and could not help crying out&mdash;"What devil is
+      it that sighs here?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "It is I, good Sir," answered a voice which had something in it of cynical
+      querulousness; "I have been confined in the <i>Slop-pail</i> for some
+      months past, against my will. In this house lives Dr. Slop."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Slop!" I exclaimed, "what my political godchild?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Ah! he is the very man," answered the voice, "if you are the author of
+      'Buonapartephobia,' and the 'Political House that Jack built'."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "And <span class="pagenum"><a name="link216" id="link216"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p216.jpg">216</a></span>they call him Punch. He
+      is the jest of special pleaders&mdash;possesseth the counsel with mirth,
+      and attends the judges. But <i>my</i> business lies another way; I am the
+      maker of charitable societies, a promoter of social order, the inventor of
+      new methods for keeping the world quiet; in a word, I am the soul of the
+      celebrated Devil upon two Sticks, the <i>domon of Luxury</i>, the <i>Political
+      Cupid</i>: what sort of a personage I am, you shall see, if you please to
+      set me at liberty to rejoin my body, which is now either in John-street or
+      Shorter's-court."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Good <i>Mr. Cupid</i>," I replied, "I should be happy to serve you, but
+      the <i>Slop-pail</i> in which you are hidden, is abominably filthy; and,
+      in my endeavours to relieve you, I may be stifled with the stench:
+      besides, you may be, for aught I know, as base a hypocrite as the conjuror
+      that confines you. I should wish to know how you got in, and by what power
+      he holds you, if you are not as vile as he is."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Ah, do not leave me! For the sake of humanity release me," screamed the
+      <i>Spirit</i>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      He had scarcely uttered these words, when Dr. Slop, accompanied by the <i>body</i>
+      of the dæmon, suddenly appeared; and taking the lid off his Slop-pail, the
+      Spirit exultingly flew out, and entered his own proper person. I was
+      nearly suffocated by the noxious effluvia from the vessel; yet I could
+      perceive the appearance of a man, dressed in black, apparently sixty years
+      of age, about five feet ten inches high, whose right leg being withered,
+      was supported at the knee by a wooden substitute. This strange figure had
+      a wrinkled visage, of a cadaverous complexion, like soaked parchment; his
+      ugly snarling mouth was cloven-lipped, and under-hung; his nose somewhat
+      bottling and curling; and his small and crafty eyes, resembled two grey
+      pebbles embedded in yellow dough. The top of his head was bald; the hair
+      at the back and sides, thin, and cut short, was pomatumed and powdered. He
+      supported himself by a crutch, which appeared to me, a gallows; and
+      crossing Fleet-street with rapid strides, this <i>New Devil upon two
+      Sticks</i>, ascending the steps of Walker's Hotel, by the aid of Dr. <i>Slop</i>,
+      was received with loud acclamations and open arms by the <i>Bridge-Street
+      Gang</i>, who awaited the arrival of their commander at his <i>Den</i>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "I <span class="pagenum"><a name="link217" id="link217"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p217.jpg">217</a></span> am," I replied. "But
+      pray how came you in the Slop-pail?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Ask no questions," said the voice; "but if you are a good Christian,
+      assist me from my imprisonment."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "What are you?" I inquired, somewhat confused at this uncommon adventure.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "I am a <i>dæmon</i>," replied the voice, "and you are come very
+      opportunely to free me from a slavery where I languish in idleness, though
+      <i>I am the most active and indefatigable devil in hell</i>."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      I was somewhat affrighted at these words; but being naturally courageous,
+      I recollected myself; and, in a resolute tone, thus addressed myself to
+      the <i>Infernal</i> within:&mdash;"Good <i>Mr. Devil!</i> pray inform me
+      by what character you are distinguished amongst your brethren; are you a
+      devil of distinction, or an ordinary one?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "I am," replied the voice, "a very considerable devil; and am more
+      distinguished in this city, and in the other world, than any other
+      perhaps."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      I replied, "You may be the daemon which we call Jonatkins."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "No," replied the spirit; "he is the tormentor of the Livery."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Are you then Turtle?" I exclaimed.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Fie!" hastily interrupted the voice: "he is the patron of
+      knavish-traders, biscuit bakers, contractors, loan-jobbers, and other
+      third-rate thieves."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Dear devil!&mdash;it may be you are Sid.?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "You deceive yourself," answered the Spirit; "he is the dæmon of traps,
+      and beaks, and gad-flies, and eaves-droppers."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "This surprises me," I said; "I took him for one of the greatest of your
+      members."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "He is one of the least," replied the dæmon; "you have no true notion of
+      our hell."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "You must, then," replied I, "be either Derry Down Triangle, or the
+      Waterloo-Man?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Oh! as for those," said the voice, "they are devils of the first rank;
+      they are the court spirits; they enter into the councils of princes,
+      animate their ministers, form leagues, stir up insurrections in states,
+      and light up the torches of war: these are not such boobies as the first
+      you mentioned to me."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Ah! tell me, I entreat you," said I, "what post has Diabolus Regis?"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "He is the froth of the law, the mere foam of the bar," replied the <span

+      WHERE SHALL I DINE?

+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+     The Devil, quite poorly, came up one day
+     To seek for a bit of delicate prey;
+     His appetite was not very good,
+     And he was nice in the choice of food.
+
+     He had bolted Attorneys till he was sick,
+     And still they were served up fast and thick&mdash;
+     Barristers follow'd, so thick and fast,
+     He thought he should never see the last.
+
+     Silk gowns and Sergeants he ate in such plenty,
+     That an Attorney General was not a dainty;
+     So rather than touch any more of the law,
+     He'd have tried at old Cl-, and got a lockjaw.
+
+     Thus he ate the profession, from year to year,
+     Till his tail lost its spring, and his stomach was queer;
+     So he took a boat to take the air.
+     And landed at Bridge-street, and paid his fare.
+
+     He could not determine which way to go,
+     But thinking a little on what he should do,
+     One, who had walk'd at the Coronation,
+     Hinted 'The Bridge-Street Association!'
+</pre>
+    <p>
+      'Ho! ho!' said he, 'I forgot!' and his tail Whisk'd about with delight; 'I
+      shall <i>now</i> have a meal!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      'First there's Murray, ah! ah!&mdash;and to take off the taste 'Of the <i>lawyer</i>&mdash;I'll
+      give him an exquisite baste.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      'Then there's Sharp!&mdash;what a treat! I must speak to the cook!&mdash;'And
+      Sewell! Reeves! Bicknell! Clarke! Reynolds! Price! Brook! 'Bridges!
+      Flower! Sikes! Atkins! Jacks! Poynder! Slop! Croly!&mdash;'By my hoof I
+      shall <i>dine</i>&mdash;and at night I'll be jolly!'
+    </p>
+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+     He kick'd the door open&mdash;the place being warm,
+     Tickl'd his <i>lowness's</i> nose to a charm;
+     When bolted inside, not a soul can say
+     What he did, but&mdash;there was 'the devil <i>to pay!</i>'
+     Most awful to hear were the yells and the riot,
+     Yet awfuller far was the sudden quiet:
+     No doubt with the den he is having his swing,
+     When he's out, let us shout&mdash;'God save the King!'

+      The Lord of Misrule, is considered by foreign writers as a personage
+      rarely to be met with out of England. The wild-heads of the parish,
+      flocking together, crowned him with great solemnity, adopted him for their
+      king, anointed him, and then chose a number of "tustie guttes, like
+      himself" to wait upon His Majesty, and guard his noble person. These he
+      invested with green, yellow, and other colours; and as though they were
+      not gaudy enough, they bedecked themselves with scarfs, ribbons, and
+      laces, adding gold rings, precious stones, and other jewels. They also had
+      hobby-horses, dragons, and other whimsies, and with piping and drumming,
+      and bells jingling, they skirmished their hobby-horses, and other monsters
+      among the throng, and <i>went to church</i>, the people staring, laughing,
+      and fleering, and mounted upon forms to see the pageant.&mdash;Strutt's

+      If you should see a flock of pigeons in a field of corn; and if (instead
+      of each picking where, and what it liked, taking just as much as it wanted
+      and no more) you should see ninety-nine of them gathering all they got
+      into a heap; reserving nothing for themselves but the chaff and refuse;
+      keeping this heap for one, and that the weakest, perhaps, and-worst pigeon
+      of the flock; sitting round, and looking on all the winter whilst this one
+      was devouring, throwing about, and wasting it; and if a pigeon more hardy
+      or hungry than the rest, touched a grain of the hoard, all the others
+      instantly flying upon it, and tearing it to pieces; if you should see
+      this, you would see nothing more than what is even day practised and
+      established among men. Among men, you see the ninety-and-nine toiling and
+      scraping together a heap of superfluities for one; getting nothing for
+      themselves all the while, but a little of the coarsest of the provision,
+      which their own labour produces (and this one, too, oftentimes the
+      feeblest and worst of the whole set, a child, a woman, a madman or a
+      fool); looking quietly on, while they see the fruits of all their labour
+      spent or spoiled; and if one of them take or touch a particle of it, the
+      others join against him, and hang him for the theft.&mdash;Paley's Moral

+      VICTORY OF PETERLOO.
+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      A MONUMENT is proposed to be erected in commemoration of the achievements
+      of the MANCHESTER YEOMANRY CAVALRY, on the 16th August, 1819, against THE
+      MANCHESTER, MEETING of Petitioners for Redress of Wrongs and Grievances,
+      and Reform in Parliament. It has been called a <i>battle</i>, but
+      erroneously; for, the multitude <i>was unarmed</i>, and made no resistance
+      to the heroes <i>armed</i>; there was no contest&mdash;it was a <i>victory</i>;
+      and has accordingly been celebrated in triumph. This event, more important
+      in its consequences than the Battle of Waterloo, will be recorded on the
+      monument, by simply stating the names of the officers and privates
+      successfully engaged, on the one side; and on the other, the names of the
+      persons killed, and of the six hundred maimed and wounded in the attack
+      and pursuit; also the names of the captured, who are still prisoners in
+      His Majesty's goals; with the letter of thanks, addressed to the victors,
+      by His Majesty's Command.

+      Her Majesty <i>died by the dagger of Persecution</i>. Her Persecutors,
+      unable to conceal the fact that <i>she has been hurried to her Grave</i>,
+      hypocritically whine over "the wounds themselves have made," and, like the
+      flying felon, who, to elude his pursuers, cries "Stop thief!" they huddle
+      up their knives, and charge her friends and advisers with being her
+      destroyers! "<i>Kissing the gashes that bloodily do yawn upon their faces</i>,"
+      they call her defenders and protectors "a faction" and charge this <i>faction</i>
+      with being her assassins! Execrable villains! Was it this "faction"
+      brought her from Germany? Was she <i>married</i> by this "faction?" Were
+      her <i>conjugal rights denied her</i> by this "faction?" Was she deserted
+      and <i>licensed</i> to her "<i>inclinations</i>" by this "faction?" Was
+      she <i>spied upon</i> by this "faction?" Was <i>her character impeached</i>
+      by this "faction:" Was <i>the late King's friendship</i> for her at that
+      period caused by a "faction?" Was <i>her child</i> torn from her by a
+      "faction?" Was <i>she tricked out of the country</i> by a "faction:" Was
+      her name <i>omitted upon her daughter's coffin</i> by a "faction?" Was the
+      <span class="pagenum"><a name="link229" id="link229"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p229.jpg">229</a></span>"honourable" <i>Milan
+      Commission</i> issued by the "faction?" Was the horde of miscreants who
+      vomited forth their <i>disgusting and obscene perjuries</i> against her&mdash;were
+      these collected by this "faction?" Was her <i>Trial</i> in the House of
+      Lords, amid the gibes and jests, and scoffs and sneers, and the taunt of
+      <i>Ferocity</i>&mdash;was this the act of "faction?" Was the spiritual and
+      temporal <i>refusal </i> to place her name in <i>the Liturgy</i> the act
+      of this "faction?" Was the <i>refusal to crown her</i>, or to assign her a
+      place in the ceremonial of her husband's Coronation, or to permit her
+      presence to witness it, or <i>her expulsion from the doors</i>, or the
+      rancorous <i>insults</i> she sustained that day, were these from the
+      "faction?" NO! When the <i>bribe</i> and the <i>threat</i> availed not,
+      and she came to England in the courage of her noble heart, and the full
+      majesty of innocence&mdash;when the enraged host gathered for her
+      desolation hurtled from the high places as a whirlwind, the People, seeing
+      that in her person the Principles of Humanity and the Constitution were
+      invaded., reflecting on <i>her</i> sufferings and their own, and aroused
+      by a sense of duty and of danger, united for her preservation. Animated by
+      the Justice of their cause, and <i>headed by</i> the Press, they read a
+      moral lesson to her deadly persecutors, at which they turned pale, and
+      from which they shrunk back in dismay! The archers shot her sorely, but
+      the People saved her from swift destruction. This offence was never to be
+      forgiven. They who had elevated the Queen above the craft of <i>Priestianity</i>
+      and the cruelty of <i>Court Selfishness</i>, were more exposed to attack
+      than her whom they had preserved. Her enemies rallied to assail her
+      friends. If we seek the names of the assailants from among the Members of
+      the Bridge-Street Gang, a formidable list might be selected. There we
+      should find the slanderous Blacow, and at the head of the muster-roil
+      might be placed Slop. This "<i>wretch</i>" and his Gang, commenced <i>Prosecutions</i>
+      against the humblest of the Queen's friends, while the <i>hireling</i>
+      presses foamed into a settled <i>Persecution</i> against her and them. The
+      Slop-pail frothed up its malignant spume; official poison <i>Croked</i>
+      forth from the Courier; the organ of the <i>Fashionable World</i>
+      discharged his filthy ribaldry; and the assaults of a band of <i>obscene
+      wretches</i>, Sunday after Sunday, were defended and aided by the
+      prostituted pen of Slop. In violation of the sanctity which even savages
+      attach to <i>the chambers of death</i>, some of the heartless fiends who
+      dogged her through life, and hurried her "<i>to the house appointed far
+      all living</i>," pursue their remorseless warfare beyond the grave. Others
+      (following the example of their abettors, who, in mockery of death itself,
+      put the signs of mourning upon the outsides of their houses, while they
+      chuckle with joy within), <i>now</i> that they have consummated their
+      crime, make a merit of not preying upon her dead body! Her frame, too weak
+      to bear <span class="pagenum"><a name="link230" id="link230"></a><a
+      href="../44520-page-images/p230.jpg">230</a></span>their blows upon her
+      heart, surrendered its mighty spirit into the hands of Him who gave it,
+      and her murderers exclaim, "Well! she is <i>gone&mdash;at last</i>; let us
+      bury all animosities <i>with her!</i>" BRUTAL TAUNT! They hoisted the
+      black flag of unrelenting and deadly hate against her as long as she lived&mdash;they
+      have exterminated her, and they hang out a white one, crying Peace! Peace!
+      where there is no Peace! They have floated themselves to the favour of
+      their employers in her blood, and the guilty villains, retreating to their
+      den to celebrate their horrible triumph, pray us not to disturb their
+      secret orgies with our clamours!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It is said, that only a few hours before she ceased to breathe, she spoke
+      of the modes her savage adversaries had successfully put in practice, of
+      separating worthy people from her society: one of which was, <i>to deter
+      them from visiting her, by propagating the most atrocious calumnies
+      against her, and them</i>. Never was human being attacked with more
+      malignant ferocity by <i>the Furies of the Press</i>, than this
+      noble-minded and innocent lady&mdash;never will they perpetrate a fouler
+      Murder! <i>Instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. O, my soul!
+      come not thou into their secret!</i>
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Her dying declaration, "THEY HAVE DESTROYED ME!" will be remembered long
+      after her destroyers. Her blood is on their heads. They allowed her no
+      peace on earth. <i>Now&mdash;she hears not the voice of the oppressor&mdash;she
+      is where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary are at rest</i>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In fixedness of courage immovable, in clearness of intellect unrivalled,
+      she shone on earth as the polar-star in the firmament of her sex, and in
+      her utmost need, they circled round her as the sun of their glory. Her
+      wrongs and her fate are indelibly registered in our annals. Honest
+      historians of after-times will narrate them truly, and unpensioned Bards
+      embalm her to posterity.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The Queen's dying request was, to lie in the same tomb with her child&mdash;sad
+      experience taught her to anticipate a refusal from her relentless enemies!

+      THE DEATH-LIGHT OF CAROLINE'S HALL,
+    </h3>
+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+      The death-lights glimmer in Caroline's hall,
+      Where strangers have spread the funeral pall;
+      Relations by blood from her have fled,
+      And other hands have pillow'd her head&mdash;
+      Vet a halo round her temples plays,
+      Brighter than earthly crowns can raise!
+      When her heart-strings broke, no husband was there,
+      With a bursting breast, and a holy prayer&mdash;
+      Her Royal Spouse was <i>on the sea</i>,
+      In glittering pomp and pageantry;
+      With streamers pointing to Erin's shore,
+      Where wassail, and wine, and wild uproar,
+      And the noisy mirth of a motley band,
+      Were to drown the sighs of a sorrowing land!
+      The prospect was bright on her Bridal Day,
+      And English hearts were light and gay;
+      Alas!'twas the gleam of a wintry sky,
+      When dark clouds come, and the storm is nigh.
+
+      The eye to bless, and the hand to save,
+      Were not the gifts that the altar gave!
+      She never knew the sweet control
+      That wins, that guards the cherish'd soul;
+      But met the keen repulsive glance
+      From furious eye-balls turn'd askance!&mdash;
+      A <i>licensed outcast</i>, bade to roam,
+      No husband's bed&mdash;no friend&mdash;no home&mdash;
+      The treacherous <i>Spy</i> in ambush placed,
+      Our British name defiled, disgraced!

+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+      At last kind Heaven upon her smiled&mdash;
+      The raptured Mother clasp'd her Child;
+      Maternal love beam'd from her eye;
+      The tear-dew'd cheek <i>for once</i> was dry.
+      But devilish hate could ne'er endure
+      A joy so sweet, a bliss so pure;
+      And the cherub-smile that cheer'd her life,
+      Was rudely torn from the widow'd wife!
+
+      But who shall tell&mdash;or who shall believe,
+      That malice could deeper wrongs conceive?
+      O, learn the deed from the daughter's bier&mdash;
+      In Judgment bid her <i>Tomb</i> appear;
+      On the dark vault let the day-beam shine;
+      Behold the broken lincage-line!
+
+      The Record rests on the sculptured stone&mdash;
+      <i>Robb'd  of the Mother's name</i> alone.
+      The surpliced Priest made no appeal&mdash;
+      His Earthly Masters check'd his zeal&mdash;
+      From those who bent their heads to Heaven,
+      To pray that mortals be forgiven;
+      No kind behest for her was sent,
+      No Priestly hand to her was lent;
+      But when, at length, she lifeless fell,
+      Rose the <i>hollow</i> sound of <i>their</i> passing bell!
+      Well fed, well paid, to blast her name,
+      Swarms of Italian Monsters came;
+      And English Monsters, fouler still,
+      Obey'd their Masters' deadly will!
+      The fiends have chased her day by day,
+      Her <i>Sabbath</i> death-bed was their prey!&mdash;
+      These are not men!&mdash;they never press'd
+      The life-streams from a human breast;
+      Nor are they woman-born&mdash;but thrown
+      From some vile source to man unknown!
+      She struggled long&mdash;she nobly rose
+      Triumphant o'er her rancorous foes;
+      Bravely she stood the lengthen'd strife
+      For honest fame&mdash;more dear than life&mdash;
+      But ah! the nerve, too finely strung,
+      Was wrench'd, was torn, was rudely wrung&mdash;
+      She won the prize&mdash;<i>that</i> strength was given,
+      Then burst from earth to kinder Heaven!

+      Oil. During the Revolution, a Jacobin took the liberty of using the Holy
+      Oil to grease his boots with, and the eagle not having arrived with a

+      A PERTICULAR FAC.
+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      We hae muckle fear for the weal o' the Cantry o'Breetan, frae the great
+      deal o' ill huiks, like unto the deil's buiks, and the like o'that. We hae
+      juist glowred o'er a wee bnikee, a verra bad buik indeed&mdash;a verra bad
+      buifc. An' we are verra sorey to say, there are money o' sic bad buiks,
+      fu' o-' daflin, trying to thraw contemp upo' the thron an' the halter,
+      ca'ing the Lord Provost a full, an' the Lord Advocate nae better, and a'
+      the great folk pawkie loons; an' we can compare't to naething but the
+      muckle black de'il fiddling thro' the toon. As sic is the case, it's nae
+      for the siller we're writing, but oot o' pure lawyellty an' patriotism for
+      the guid o' the Cantry. Gin the silly peeple keun'd what wa'd be guid for
+      them, they wa'd nae fash themsels aboot learning to read ava, or read
+      naething but our Maggy-zeen, an' we hope to see the day whan there'll be
+      naething but our Maggy-zeen read thro' a' the Cantry; for we are fermly
+      persuaded that the folk are turning o'er learned, an' we are aye
+      endeavoring to write them doon to the state o' happy ignorance an'
+      respectfu' submission that they war in, whan the guid-wife wad say to her
+      ain guid man, 'Git up, Donald, and be hangit, an' dinna anger the laird!'
+      It's naething but right and proper that King Geordie an' his <i>Mean-astres</i>
+      s'ud juist hae their ain gait o't in a' things 'as the Cat had wi' the
+      haggis:&mdash;ate the pudden, an' gaed to sleep i' the bag!' For an it be
+      na sae, we're muckle afeerd that his most gracious <i>Mad-jestie</i> winna
+      be aible to eat his parritch, an' scrach himsel' in safety.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      N. B. We hae great help <i>in preevat</i> frae Sir Wattie, who <i>conn'd-his-ends
+      de'el-hight-fully</i>, an' his guid-son, Maister Lackheart, is our
+      perticular freend an' contra-booter; an' Maister Blackguard drives that
+      'Jacobite Relic' Jamie Hogg, the aye-trick Sheepherd, juist as he likes.
+      And sae we'll hae mony delectfu' extracts fra' the buiks prentit in
+      Niddry's Wynd, an' a wallet o' ballets pruiving the truith o' the sayen o'
+      his <i>Mad-jestie</i> King Jamie the Saxt, that 'to scratch whare it
+      etches is o'er muckle luck-surie for a mere sabject.'

+  'Twas at that sober hour when the light of day is receding,
+  I alone in Slop's Office was left; and, in trouble of spirit,
+  I mused on old times, till my comfort of heart had departed.
+  Pensile at least I shall be, methought&mdash;<i>sus. per coll.</i> surely!
+  And therewithal felt I my neckcloth; when lo! on a sudden,
+  There came on my eyes, hanging mid-way 'twixt heav'n and St. James's,
+  The book call'd the <i>Pension List</i>. There did I see my name written,
+  Yea ev'n in that great book of life! It was sweet to my eyelids,
+  As dew from a tax! and <i>Infinity</i> seem'd to be open,
+  And I said to myself, 'Now a blessing be on thee, my Robert!
+  And a blessing on thee too my pen! and on thee too my sack-but!'
+  Now, as thus I was standing, mine ear heard a rap at the street-door,
+  Ev'n such as a man might make bold with, half gentle half footman;
+  And lo! up the stairs, dotting one, one, after the other,
+  Came the leg of a wonder, hop! hop! through the silence of evening;
+  And then a voice snarling from the throat of the him they call Murray,
+  Who said, as he hopp'd, 'Must the <i>Muck Times</i> be mournful at <i>all</i> times?
+  Lo, SLOP, I've a sop, for your mop; yes&mdash;hop! hop! I've a <i>story</i>,
+  With which I'll light <i>you</i> up, if you'll light me, Slop, up another.'
+  'Don't be so <i>bold!</i>  methought a <i>larking</i> voice from the skylight
+  Answer'd, and therewithal I felt fear as of frightening;
+  Knowing not why, or how, my soul seem'd night-cap to my body.
+  Then came again the voice, but then with a louder squalling&mdash;
+  'Go to hell,' said the voice. 'What!,' said I, inwardly, 'I go!'
+  When lo, and behold, a great wonder!&mdash;I, I, Robert Southey,
+  Even I, Robert Southey, Esquire, LL.D. Poet Laureate,
+  Member of the Royal Spanish Academy, of the
+  Ditto of history too, of the Institute Royal
+  Of Dutchland, and eke of the Welch Cymmodorion wonder,
+  Author of Joan of Arc, of much Jacobin Verse, and Wat Tyler,
+  Et cætera, et caetera, et caetera, et cætera, et cætera,
+  (For it's unknown all the things that I am, and have written),
+  I, as I said before, ev'n I, by myself, I,
+  Unlike, in that single respect, to my great master Dante,
+  (For Virgil went with him to help him), but like in all others,
+  Rush'd up into Paradise boldly, which angels themselves don't,
+  Yea ev'n into Paradise rush'd I, through showers of <i>flimsies</i>,
+  All as good as the Bank, and for hailstones I found there were <i>Sovereigns</i>,
+  Spick and span new; and anon was a body all glorified,
+  Even all the great Host both of Church and State, Crosses, Grand Crosses,
+  Commanders, Companions, and Knights of all possible orders,
+  Commons and Peers, the souls of the sold, whom Pensions made perfect,

+      (The Spirit now bids me write prose, but that, you know's all the same

+    <p>
+      And Ward, the Animal Painter, with a piece of spoil'd canvas, 35 feet wide
+      by 21, was there;

+    <p>
+      But Bird who, most disloyally, died of a broken heart, was not there;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And the Duke of Wellington, with the Sword of State, was there;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And Sir John Silvester, the Recorder of London, and his assistant, were

+    <p>
+      And all the Ministerial Members of the House of Commons were there; And
+      Dr. Slop with 'fresh fig-leaves for Adam and Ere' was there;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And the Royal Proclamation against Vice and Immorality was pasted up

+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Methought, in my vision, I dreamt&mdash;dream within dream intercircled&mdash;And
+      seem'd to be hurried away, by a vehement whirlwind,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      To Flames and Sulphurous Darkness, where certain of my Minor Poems were
+      scorching,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Yet unconsum'd, in penal fire; and so was I purified
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      For deeds done in the flesh, being, through them, burnt by proxy!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      There, too, roasted the Bishop of Osnaburgh's Doxy,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      But the Righteous-one, <i>the Prince Bishop himself</i>, was in Heaven;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And two Boots were there, as a burnt-offering for peccadillo,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      But the Owner thereof was a glorified spirit above,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Where, as in duty bound, I had sung to him 'Twang-a-dillo,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      He that loves a pretty girl, is a hearty good fellow!'
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And in Torment (but here the blest rage of the bard returns on me)
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And in torment was She, who, on earth, had been also tormented By Him who
+      is never, nor can be accused, of aught vicious;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      With her were the friends of my childhood&mdash;not leaving out Coleridge;
+      And they who were kill'd by the Manchester Yeomanry also;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And Truth, the whole Truth, nothing but the Truth, suffered the burning.
+      Then I turn'd my meek eyes, in their gladness, to Heaven, and my place
+      there, And ascending, I flew back to Paradise, singing of Justice;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Where, fill'd with divine expectation of merited favour,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      <span class="pagenum"><a name="link241" id="link241"></a><a

+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The gathering host look'd to him, in whom all their hopes center'd,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      As the everlasting hand; and I, too, press'd forward to obtain&mdash;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      But old recollections withheld me;&mdash;down, down, dropp'd my sack-but,
+      And my feet, methought, slid, and I fell precipitate. Starting,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then I awoke, with my hair up, and lo! my young days were before me, Dark
+      yet distinct; but instead of the voice of the honest,
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      I hoard only Murray's yap', yap! and hap! hop! through the silence of
+      evening: Yap! hop! and hop! yap!&mdash;and hence came the hop, step, and
+      jump, of my verses.

+      That, in consequence of this opinion, a large body of persons assembled

+      THE COMBINATION AGAINST THIS LAMP renders it necessary to state some of

+      visible, and assist the perpetration of crime. If their forms are
+      occasionally varied by lacquer and varnish, and rendered pleasing to the
+      eye, their light is not improved in the smallest degree; and they require
+      a multitude of hands to feed and trim them, at a most enormous expense;
+      while THE "UNIVERSAL SAFETY" LAMP diffuses a brilliant and steady lustre,
+      and a genial warmth equal to the solar beam. It eclipses every other
+      brightness. The only inconvenience complained of by the nervous and
+      fastidious is, that its flame sometimes rises during a storm, and emits a
+      small portion of smoke, but this vapour ceases almost immediately after
+      the agitation has subsided. <i>It is constructed on an unerring principle

+      THE DOCTOR
+    </h3>
+    <h3>
+      A PARODY WRITTEN BY THE RIGHT HONORABLE GEORGE CANNING, M. P.
+    </h3>
+    <p>
+      Lord FOLKESTONE confessed that there Had been a smile on his countenance
+      at one part of the right honorable gentleman (Mr. CANNING)'s speech, and
+      it seemed to him very extraordinary, even after the reconciliation that
+      had taken place, to hear the right honorable gentleman stand up for the
+      talents of that poor "Doctor" (Lord SIDMOUTH), who has so long been the
+      butt of his most bitter and unsparing ridicule (<i>loud laughter and
+      shouts of hear, hear</i>). Whether in poetry or prose, the great object of
+      his derision, and that for want of ability and sense, was the noble lord
+      whom he (Mr. CANNING) had so strenuously defended that night; and now
+      forsooth, he wondered that any person could object to confide unlimited
+      power in the hands of a person, according to his own former opinions, so
+      likely to be duped and misled (hear, hear). Yes, the house would remember
+      the lines in which, at different times, the right honorable gentleman (Mr
+      CANNING), had been pleased to panegyrize his (Mr. CANNING's) noble friend
+      (Lord SIDMOUTH) of which the following were not the worst:&mdash;
+    </p>
+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+     "I showed myself prime Doctor to the country;
+     My ends attain'd, my only aim has been
+     To keep my place, and gild my humble name."&mdash;
+</pre>
+    <p>
+      (A laud laugh)
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Yes, this was the view the right honorable gentleman had once drawn of his
+      noble friend, who was then described by him thus:&mdash;
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "My name's the Doctor; on the Berkshire hills," &amp;c.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      [See the Parody below for the remainder of Lord Folkestone's Quotation&mdash;For
+      his Lordship's Speech, see Evans's Debates, 1817, p. 1568.]
+    </p>
+<pre xml:space="preserve">
+     My name's THE DOCTOR; on the Berkshire hills
+     My father purged his patients&mdash;a wise man,
+     Whose constant care was to increase his store,
+     And keep his eldest son&mdash;myself&mdash;at home.
+     But I had heard of Politics, and long'd
+     To sit within the Commons' House, and get
+     A place, and luck gave what my sire denied.

+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Since the announcement of this Publication, the attack of the

+      to render superfluous any interference on my part.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Two years have elapsed since I broke away from the toils; and it seems the
+      escape of the destined victim is never to be forgiven! The cause of which
+      the Solicitor-General is unexpectedly the gratuitous advocate, has taken
+      appropriate refuge in the snug precincts of Gatton. There let it wither!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The verdicts of my Juries require no other vindication than a faithful
+      recital of the grounds on which they were founded. From the period at
+      which those verdicts were pronounced, and with a view to that vindication,
+      I have been unremittingly employed in the collection and arrangement of
+      rare and curious materials which the Solicitor-General's attack will

+      This History I purpose to bring out, very speedily, <i>with extensive
+      graphic illustrations,</i> and I flatter myself it will answer the various
+      purposes of satisfying the expectations of my numerous and respectable
+      subscribers&mdash;of justifying my own motives in publishing the Parodies&mdash;of
+      throwing a strong light upon the presumable motives of my prosecutors in
+      singling me out from my Noble and Right Honorable Fellow Parodists&mdash;of
+      holding up Trial by Jury to the increased love and veneration of the
+      British People&mdash;and above all, of making every calumny upon the
+      verdicts of three successive, honorable, and intelligent Juries recoil
+      upon the slanderer, be he who he may, that dares to asperse them. W. HONE.

+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project

+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+Gutenberg-tm License.

+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+     That, to think of the World and the flesh he'd cease,

+
+[Illustration: 040]
+
+DECLARATION.
+
+     The Prodigal Son, by his perils surrounded,
+
+     Vex'd, harass'd, bewilder'd, asham'd, and con-
+           founded,
+
+     Fled for help to his Father,
+
+                    confessed his ill doing,
+
+     And begged for salvation
+
+                    from stark staring ruin;
+
+     The sire urged--"The People
+
+                  your debts have twice paid,
+
+     "And, to ask a third time,
+
+                    even Pitt is afraid;
+
+     "But he shall if you'll marry, and lead a new life,--
+     "You've a cousin in Germany--make her your
+     wife!"
+
+{033}
+
+[Illustration: 041]
+
+ACCEPTATION.
+
+      From the high halls of Brunswick, all youthful and
+
+              gay,
+
+      From the hearth of her fathers, he lured her away:
+      How joy'd she in coming--
+
+                      how smiling the bower;
+      flow sparkling their nuptials--
+
+                     how welcome her dower.
+
+      Ah! short were her pleasures--full soon came her
+             cares--
+
+      Her husbandless bride-bed was wash'd with her
+             tears.
+
+{034}
+
+[Illustration: 042]
+
+ALTERATION.
+
+     Near a million of debts gone,
+
+                      all gone were her charms--
+     What! an Epicure have _his own_ wife
+     in his arms?
+
+     She was not to his _taste_--
+
+                       what car'd _he_ for the 'form,'
+
+     'To love and to cherish'
+
+                     could not mean reform:
+
+     'To love' meant, of course, nothing else
+                      but neglect;--
+
+     'To cherish' to leave her,
+
+                    and shew disrespect
+
+{035}
+
+[Illustration: 043]
+
+IMPUTATION.
+
+     Was it manly, when widow'd,
+
+                      to spy at her actions;
+
+     To listen to eaves-droppers,
+
+                      whisp'ring detractions:
+
+     And, like an old Watchman,
+
+                      with faults to conceal,
+
+     Get up a _false Charge_,
+
+                      as a proof of his zeal?
+
+     If desertion was base, Oh base be his name,
+     Who, having deserted, would bring her to sham?
+
+{036}
+
+[Illustration: 044]
+
+EXCULPATION.
+
+     Undaunted in spirit, her courage arose,
+
+     With encrease of charges, and encrease of foes.
+     Despising the husband,
+
+                     who thus had abused her,
+
+     She proved to his father,
+
+                        his son had ill used her:--
+
+     Her conduct examin'd, and sifted, shone bright,
+     Her enemies fled, as the shadows of night
+
+{037}
+
+[Illustration: 045]
+
+EMIGRATION.
+
+     Her father and king, while with reason yet blest,
+     Protected her weakness, and shielded her rest;
+     Infirmity seizes him, false friends draw near,
+
+     Then spies gather round, and malignants appear;
+     And cajole, wait, watch, insult,
+
+                       alarm, and betray,
+
+     Till from home, and her daughter,
+
+                       they force her away.
+
+{038}
+
+[Illustration: 046]
+
+REMIGRATION.
+
+     Still pursued, when a 'wanderer,'
+
+                      her child sleeps in death,
+
+     And her best friend, in England, her king,
+                     yields his breath;
+
+     This gives her new rights--
+
+                     they neglect and proscribe her;
+
+     She threatens returning--they then try to bribe her!
+
+     The bullies turn slaves, and, in meanness, fawn on her:
+
+     They feel her contempt, and they vow her dishonour;
+
+     But she 'steers her own course,' comes indignantly
+           over,
+
+     And the shouts of the nation salute her at Dover!
+
+{039}
+
+[Illustration: 047]
+
+CONSTERNATION.
+
+     Ah, what was that groan!--
+
+                  'twas the Head of the Church,
+     When he found she was come--
+
+                  for he dreaded a search
+     Into what _he_'d been doing:
+
+                   and sorely afraid, for
+     What _she_ might find out,
+
+                    cried '_I'll not have her pray'd for'_;
+
+     And the B------ps, obeying their _pious_ Head,
+
+                  care took
+     That the name of his wife
+
+                  should be out of the prayer book!
+
+     A BURNING SHAME!"
+
+{040}
+
+[Illustration: 048]
+
+ACCUSATION.
+
+     On searching for precedents, much to their dread,
+     They found that they could n't well cut off her head;
+
+{041}
+
+      And the 'House of Incurables' raised a 'Report'
+      She was not a fit person to live in _his_ Court.
+
+     How like an OLD CHARLEY
+
+                  they then made him stand,
+
+      In his lanthorn a _leech_,
+
+                   the 'Report' in his hand.
+
+      'Good folks be so good as not go near that door
+      'For, though my own wife, she _is_--I could say more
+      'But it's all in this _Bag_, and there'll be a fine pother,
+
+      'I shall get rid of her, and I'll then get another!'
+
+      Yet he thought, to himself,--
+
+                    'twas a thought most distressing,--
+
+      'If _she_ should discover
+
+                  I've been M--ch--ss--g,
+
+      'There's an end of the whole!
+
+      D----rs C-ns, of course,
+
+      'If _my own_ hands are dirty,
+
+       won't grant a D------ce!'
+
+      He tried to look wise, but he only look'd wild;
+      The women laugh'd out, and the grave even smiled:
+      The old frown'd upon him--the children made sport,
+      And his wife held her _ridicule_ at his 'Report'!
+
+                     Moral.
+
+                 _Be warn'd by his fate
+                    Married, single, and all;
+
+                Ye elderly Gentlemen,
+
+                      Pity his fall!_

+THE JOSS AND HIS FOLLY,

+  An Extract of an overland Dispatch.

+
+July 29, 1820.
+
+   ----The queerest of all the queer sights
+   I've set sight on;--
+   Is, the _what dye-call'-t thing_, here,
+   The Folly at Brighton
+
+{049}
+
+The outside--huge teapots,
+
+                  all drill'd round with holes,
+Relieved by extinguishers,
+
+                  sticking on poles:
+
+The inside--all tea-things,
+
+                and dragons, and bells,
+
+The show rooms--_all_ show,
+
+                 the sleeping rooms--cells.
+
+But the _grand_ Curiosity
+
+                    's not to be seen--
+
+The owner himself--
+
+               an old fat Mandarin;
+
+A patron of painters
+
+                who copy designs,
+
+That grocers and tea-dealers
+
+                 hang up for signs:
+
+Hence teaboard-taste artists
+
+                 gain rewards and distinction,
+Hence his title of 'Teapot'
+
+                  shall last to extinction.
+
+I saw his great chair
+
+                   into which he falls--soss--
+And sits, in his China Shop,
+
+                  like a large Joss;
+
+His mannikins round him,
+
+                  in tea-tray array,
+
+His pea-hens beside him,
+
+               to make him seem gay.
+
+{050}
+
+       It is said when he sleeps
+
+                      on his state Eider-down,
+
+      And thinks on his Wife,
+
+                       and about _half_ a Crown;
+
+That he wakes from these horrible dreams in a stew;
+
+And that, stretching his arms out,
+
+                     he screams, Mrs. Q.!
+
+     He's cool'd on the M--ch-ss,
+
+                     but I'm your debtor
+
+       For further particulars--
+
+                         in a C letter.
+
+You must know that he hates _his own_ wife, to a failing;--
+
+       And it's thought, it's to shun her,
+       he's now gone out
+
+SAILING.

+
+   THE ORDER FOR DAILY PRAYER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
+
+    _At the beginning of Morning and Evening Prayer the
+    Minister may read with a loud voice some one or more
+    of these Sentences of the Scriptures that follow. And
+    then may be said that which is written after the said
+    Sentences, together with other suitable portions of the
+    usual Service._
+
+{055}
+
+    WHEN the righteous are in authority, the people
+    rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the
+    people mourn. _Prov. xxix. 2._
+
+    By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make
+    the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the
+    arm of the mighty. _Job, xxxv. 9._
+
+    If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are
+    wicked. _Prov. xxix. 12._
+
+    The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men
+    are exalted. _Psalm xii. 8._
+
+    They are exalted for a little while, but they are
+    gone and brought low: they are taken out of the way
+    as all other, and cut off as the tops of green corn.
+    _Job, xxiv. 24._
+
+    A righteous man falling down before the wicked is
+    as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. _Prov.
+    xxv. 26._
+
+    A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth
+    the wheel over them. _Prov. xx. 26._
+
+{056}
+
+   _This Hymn following may be used; one Verse by the
+   Priest, and another by the Clerk and People._
+
+    O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious:
+    and his mercy endureth for ever. _Psalm cvii. 1.
+
+   Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed:
+   and delivered from the hand of the enemy. Verse 2._
+
+    Many a time have they fought against me from my
+    youth up. _Psalm cxxix. 1._
+
+   _Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth
+   up: but they have not prevailed against me. Verse 2._
+
+    They have privily laid their net to destroy me
+    without a cause: yea, even without a cause have they
+    made a pit for my soul. _Psalm xxxv. 7._
+
+    _They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my
+    soul: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen
+    into the midst of it themselves. Psalm lvii. 7._
+
+    Great is our Lord, and great is his power: yea,
+    and his wisdom is infinite. _Psalm cxlvii. 5._
+
+    _The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the un-
+    godly down to the ground. Verse 6._
+
+   _Two Psalms appointed in the Book of Common Prayer
+
+   to be said on the 29th of each month throughout the year._
+
+   PSALM CXL. _Eripe me, Domine._.
+
+   DELIVER me, O Lord, from the evil man: and
+   preserve me from the wicked man.
+
+    2 Who imagine mischief in their hearts: and stir
+    up strife all the day long.
+
+    3 They have sharpened their tongues like a ser-
+    pent: adders' poison is under their lips.
+
+    4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the un-
+    godly: preserve me from the wicked men, who are
+    purposed to overthrow my goings.
+
+{057}
+
+    5 The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread
+    a net abroad with cords: yea, and set traps in my
+    way.
+
+    6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear
+    the voice of my prayers, O Lord.
+
+    7 O Lord God, thou strength of my health: thou
+    hast covered my head in the day of battle.
+
+    8 Let not the ungodly have his desire, O Lord:
+    let not his mischievous imagination prosper, lest they
+    be too proud.
+
+    9 Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the
+    head of them: that compass me about.
+
+    10 Let hot burning coals fall upon them: let them
+    be cast into the fire, and into the pit, that they never
+    rise up again.
+
+    11 A man full of words shall not prosper upon the
+    earth: evil shall hunt the wicked person to overthrow
+    him.
+
+    12 Sure I am that the Lord will avenge the poor:
+    and maintain the cause of the helpless.
+
+    IS The righteous also shall give thanks unto thy
+    Name: and the just shall continue in thy sight.
+
+   PSALM CXLI. _Domine clamavi._
+
+    LORD, I call upon thee, haste thee unto me and
+    consider my voice when I cry unto thee.
+
+    2 Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the
+    incense: and let the lifting up of my hands be an
+    evening sacrifice.
+
+    3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and
+    keep the door of my lips.
+
+    4 O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil
+    thing: let me not be occupied in ungodly works with
+    the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such
+    things as please them.
+
+{058}
+      5 Let the righteous rather smite me friendly: and
+    reprove me.
+
+      6 But let not their precious balms break my head:
+    yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness.
+
+      7 Let their judges be overthrown in stony places:
+    that they may hear my words, for they are sweet.
+
+      8 Our bones lie scattered before the pit: like as
+    when one breaketh and hevveth wood upon the earth.
+
+      9 But mine eyes look unto thee, O Lord God: in
+    thee is my trust, O cast not out my soul.
+
+      10 Keep me from the snare that they have laid for
+    me: and from the traps of the wicked doers.
+
+      11 Let the ungodly fall into their own nets toge-
+    ther: and let me ever escape them.
+
+   _The Suffrages may be as followeth._
+
+      Priest. O Lord, save the Queen.
+
+      People. Who putteth her trust in thee.
+
+      Priest. Send her help from thy holy place.
+
+      People. And evermore mightily defend her.
+
+      Priest. Let her enemies have no advantage against
+    her.
+
+   People. Let not the wicked approach to hurt her.
+
+   _After the Collects_ [for Peace and Deliverance from
+   our Enemies] _may be said that which followeth._
+
+    ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who of thy
+    gracious providence, and tender mercy towards
+    us, didst prevent the malice and imaginations of our
+    enemies, by discovering and confounding their horrible
+    and wicked Enterprize, plotted and intended to have
+    been executed against the Queen and the whole State
+    of _England_, for the subversion of the Government
+    and Religion established among us; and didst like-
+    wise wonderfully conduct thy Servant Queen _Caroline_,
+   and bring her safely into _England_, and preserve us
+   from the attempts of our enemies to bereave us of our
+   religion and laws: We most humbly praise and mag-
+   nify thy most glorious Name for thy unspeakable
+   goodness towards us, expressed in both these acts of
+   thy mercy. Let the consideration of this thy re-
+   peated goodness, O Lord, work in us true repentance,
+   that iniquity may not be our ruin. And increase in
+   us more and more a lively faith and love, fruitful in
+   all holy obedience; that thou mayest still continue
+   thy favour, with the light of thy Gospel, to us and
+   our posterity for evermore. _Amen._
+
+{059}
+
+   _Prayer._
+
+   ALMIGHTY God, who hast in all ages shewed
+   thy Power and Mercy in the protection of
+   righteous States from the wicked conspiracies, and
+   malicious practices of all the enemies thereof: We
+   yield thee our unfeigned thanks and praise, for the
+   wonderful and mighty deliverance of our gracious
+   Queen CAROLINE, by cruel treachery appointed as
+   a sheep to the slaughter, in a most barbarous and
+   savage manner, beyond the examples of former ages.
+   From this unnatural conspiracy, not our merit, but
+   thy mercy; not our foresight, but thy providence
+   delivered us: And therefore not unto us, O Lord,
+   not unto us, but unto thy Name be ascribed all
+   honour and glory, in all Churches of the saints, from
+   generation to generation. _Amen._
+
+   _Instead of the Prayer_ [In time of War and Tu-
+   mults] _may be used this Prayer following._
+
+{060}
+
+   ETERNAL God, and our most mighty Protector,
+   we thy unworthy servants do humbly present
+   ourselves before thy Majesty, acknowledging thy
+   power, wisdom, and goodness, in preserving the
+   Queen from the destruction intended against her.
+   Make us, we beseech thee, truly thankful for this,
+   and for all other thy great mercies towards us; par-
+   ticularly we bless thee for giving Her Majesty a safe
+   arrival here, and for making all opposition fall before
+   her. We beseech thee to protect and defend her
+   from all treasons and conspiracies; Preserve her in
+   thy faith, fear, and love; prosper her with long hap-
+   piness here on earth; and crown her with everlasting
+   glory hereafter. _Amen._
+
+   _The following may be said or sung, one Verse by the
+   Priest, another by the Clerk and People._
+
+     Grant the Queen a long life: and make her glad
+   with the joy of thy countenance. _Psalm Ixi. 6._ and
+   xxi. 6.
+
+     _Let her dwell before thee for ever: O prepare thy
+   loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve her._
+   Psalm lxi. 7.
+
+     In her time let the righteous flourish: and let peace
+   be in all our borders. _Psalm Ixxii. 7_. and cxlii. 14.
+
+     _As for her enemies, clothe them with shame: but upon
+   herself let her crown flourish._ Psalm cxxxii. 19.
+
+   _Also this._
+
+     Thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wicked-
+   ness: neither shall any evil dwell with thee. _Psalm
+   v. 4._
+
+   _Thou wilt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord
+   abhors both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man._ ver: 6.
+
+     O how suddenly do they consume: perish, and
+   come to a fearful end! _Psalm_ lxxiii. 18.
+
+     _Yea, even like as a dream, when one awaketh: so
+   didst thou make their image to vanish out of the city._
+   ver. 19.
+
+       _This Sentence may be read at the Offertory._
+
+{061}
+
+      Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
+    do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the
+    Prophets. _St. Matt._ vii. 12.
+
+    _Also may be profitably read these Sentences._
+
+      There is a generation that are pure in their own
+   eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
+   _Prov._ xxx. 12.
+
+      Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
+    that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
+    that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! _Isaiah_,
+    v. 20. '
+
+      Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
+    ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter.
+    _Matt_, xxiii. 25.
+
+      But your inside is full of ravening and wickedness.
+    _Luke_, xi. 39.
+
+      Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
+   for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men
+   that walk over them are not aware of them. _Luke,_
+   xi. 44.
+
+      His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
+   and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
+   _Prov._ v. 22.
+
+      He shall die without instruction; and in the great-
+    ness of his folly he shall go astray. _Prov_. v. 23.
+
+      The congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate
+   and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
+   _Job_, xv. 34.
+
+      _After the Prayer_ [For the whole State of Christ's
+      Church, &c.] _this Collect following may be used._
+
+{062}
+
+   ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who, of
+   thine infinite and unspeakable goodness towards
+   us, didst in a most extraordinary and wonderful man-
+   ner disappoint and overthrow the wicked designs of
+   those traitorous, heady, and high-minded men, who,
+   under the pretence of Religion and thy most holy
+   Name, had contrived, and well-nigh effected the utter
+   destruction of thy Servant CAROLINE, our beloved
+   Queen: as we do this day most heartily and devoutly
+   adore and magnify thy glorious Name for this thine
+   infinite goodness already vouchsafed to us; so do we
+   most humbly beseech thee to continue thy grace and
+   favour towards us, that no such dismal calamity may
+   ever again fall upon us. Infatuate and defeat all the
+   secret counsels of deceitful and wicked men against
+   us. Abate their pride, asswage their malice, and
+   confound their devices. With judgment and justice
+   cut off all such workers of iniquity, as turn Religion
+   into Rebellion, and Faith into Faction; that they
+   may never prevail against us, nor triumph in the
+   ruin of the Monarchy. Protect and defend Her Ma-
+   jesty from all treasons and conspiracies. Be unto her
+   an helmet of salvation, and a strong tower of defence
+   against the face of all her enemies; clothe them with
+   shame and confusion, but let Her for ever flourish.
+   So we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will
+   give thee thanks for ever, and will always be shewing
+   forth thy praise from generation to generation.--
+   _Amen._
+
+   _Or there may be sung or said this Hymn following:
+      one Verse by the Priest, and another by the Clerk
+      and people._
+
+   MY song shall be alway of the loving kindness of
+   the Lord: with my mouth will I ever be shew-
+   ing forth his truth from one generation to another.
+   _Psalm_ lxxxix. 1.
+
+{063}
+
+     _The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his
+   marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remem-
+   brance._ Psalm cxi. 4.
+
+     Who can express the noble acts of the Lord: or
+   shew forth all his praise? _Psalm_ cvi. 2.
+
+   _The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all
+   them that have pleasure therein_. Psalm cxi. 2.
+
+     The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the
+   nngodly down to the ground. _Psalm_ cxlvii. 6.
+
+   _The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment: for
+   all them that are oppressed with wrong._ Psalm ciii. 6.
+
+   _This Collect may likewise be used._
+
+   O ALMIGHTY God, who art a strong tower of
+   defence unto thy servants against the face of
+   their enemies; We yield thee praise and thanksgiving
+   for the wonderful deliverance of these kingdoms from
+   the GREAT CONSPIRACY, and all the Miseries
+   and Oppressions consequent thereupon. We acknow-
+   ledge it thy goodness, that we are not utterly deli-
+   vered over as a prey unto our enemies; beseeching
+   thee still to continue such thy mercy towards us, that
+   all the world may know that thou art our Saviour and
+   mighty deliverer. _Amen._
+
+   _After the Prayer for the King, the Priest may say
+
+      thus._
+
+     Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all
+   the days of thy vanity, which he hath given thee
+   under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is
+   thy portion in _this_ life, and in thy labour which thou
+   takest under the sun. _Eccl_. ix. 9.
+
+     So ought men to love their wives as their own
+   bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. _Eph._
+   v. 28.
+
+{064}
+      Let every one of you in particular so love his wife
+   even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
+   her husband. _Eph_. v. 33.
+
+     It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife,
+   let him give her a writing of divorcement:
+
+     But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
+   his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth
+   her to commit adultery. _Matt_. v. 31,32.
+
+     _The Collect for God's protection of the Queen against
+                        all her enemies._
+
+   MOST gracious God, we most humbly beseech
+   thee to protect thy Servant CAROLINE, our
+   beloved Queen, from all the dangers to which she may
+   be exposed; Hide her from the gathering together
+   of the froward, and from the insurrection of wicked
+   doers; Do thou weaken the hands, blast the designs,
+   and defeat the enterprizes of all her enemies; that no
+   secret conspiracies, nor open violences, may disquiet
+   her; but that, being safely kept under the shadow of
+   thy wing, and supported by thy power, she may tri-
+   umph over all opposition; that so the world may
+   acknowledge thee to be her Defender and mighty.
+   Deliverer in all difficulties and adversities. _Amen._
+
+   _This may also be said._
+
+       LORD God of our salvation, who hast been ex-
+   ceedingly gracious unto this land, and by thy
+   miraculous providence didst deliver us out of our
+   miserable confusion; by restoring to us, and to her
+   own just and undoubted rights, our most gracious
+   Queen CAROLINE, notwithstanding all the power
+   and malice of her enemies; and to the great comfort
+   and joy of our hearts: We are here now before thee,
+   with all due thankfulness, to acknowledge thine un-
+   speakable goodness herein, and to offer unto thee our"
+    sacrifice of praise for the same; we beseech thee to
+    bless the Queen with all increase of grace, honour
+    and happiness, in this world, and to crown her with
+    immortality and glory in the world to come. _Amen_.
+
+{065}
+
+   _Versicles._
+
+   As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so ho-
+   nour is not seemly for a fool. _Prov._ xxvi. 1.
+
+    The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it can-
+    not rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. _Isa_. lvii.
+    29.
+
+   Take away the wicked from before the king, and
+   his throne shall be established in righteousness. _Prov._-
+   xxv. 5.
+
+   When it goeth well with the righteous, the city
+   rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is
+   shouting. _Prov_. xi. 10.
+
+   A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he
+   that speaketh lies shall not escape. _Prov_. ix. 5.
+
+   Great men are not always wise: neither do the
+   aged understand judgment. _Job_, xxxii. 9.

+
+   ==>LOST, {070}at the Court Martial, Signor MY JOKEY'S
+MEMORY, together with his Government Victualling Bill; both a little
+damaged, and of no use but to the owner. Whoever will bring them to the
+Publisher, in time to be restored to the Signor's disconsolate Mother,
+Mrs. _Leech_, shall be rewarded with a "_Non mi ricordo!"_
+
+"NON MI RICORDO!"
+
+CROSS EXAMINED BY MR. BESOM.
+
+WHO {071}are you? Non mi ricordo.
+
+What countryman are you?--a foreigner or an englishman? Non mi
+ricordo.
+
+Do you _understand_ English? No not at all.
+
+Will the Oath you have taken _bind_ you to speak the truth, or do you
+know of any other Oath _more_ binding?
+
+The Turnstile General objected to the ques-tion; upon which a
+discussion arose as to the nature of the Oath likely to bind the
+Witness, who ap-peared to be playing with a thread. The Witness was
+accordingly asked, by way of illustration, to what degree he thought
+the thread was _binding_, and whether he knew of any thing else _more_
+binding?
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore said, if the Witness believed the thread
+he held was _binding_, that was sufficient.
+
+The Lord Precedents opinion gave rise to a long discussion as to whether
+_more_ binding was _binding_, and binding was _more_ binding; which
+ended in a reference to the Erminians, who delivered the following
+solemn opinion:--If the Witness shall answer that he thinks the bit of
+thread is _binding_, there is no doubt it _is_ binding; but he cannot
+be asked if a cord is _more_ binding, because he in fact says {072}that
+the thread itself is _binding_. If the Witness twists the thread round
+his little finger he is so far bound by it, and it is _binding_; and
+having done that, it is unnecessary to inquire whether a cord, round
+another part of his body, would be _more_ binding.
+
+_Question over-ruled._
+
+CROSS EXAMINATION RESUMED.
+
+You are a master tailor, I think? I was cut out for a tailor.
+
+You have been a tailor, then? I only follow tailoring as a mere
+amusement.
+
+Fond of _Goose_ I suppose--but pray Mr. Mere-amusement what is your
+business? I was brought up a _Cabinet_ maker.
+
+What can you get at it?--are you a good hand? I can't say I am; I'm
+badly off; my _tools_ are worn out.
+
+What is your place of residence?
+
+(_Order Order_).
+
+The Turnstile General protested against the consequences of this mode of
+Examination.
+
+Lord Juryman--Why does not the Interpreter give the Witness's Answer.
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore--Because the Bench objects to the
+question.
+
+Lord MUDDLEPOOL--Does the Turnstile General object to the question.
+
+The Turnstile General. I do object to it, my Lord. This is perhaps the
+most important question that ever occurred. By this dealing out, the
+party is placed in such a situation as he never was placed in before.
+
+Mr. {073}Besom--I ask him where he now lives, and the Turnstile General
+objects to this, because I do not put all the questions I might put, in
+a single breath.
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore--I feel great difficulty--I doubt..
+
+Lord Wheelbarrow thought there was a _great_ deal in what the noble Lord
+had said; and _he_ doubted.
+
+CROSS EXAMINATION RESUMED.
+
+How much money has been expended on you since you were born? Non mi
+ricordo.
+
+What have you done for it in return? More less than more.
+
+How do you get your living? I was waiter for some years at the Hotel
+_de Grand Bretagne_, and succeeded my father as head waiter at the
+_Crown_ Inn.
+
+What wages have you? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Have you any perquisites? _Veils_.
+
+Are you _head waiter_, or by what other name than head waiter you may be
+called, at the Crown Inn?
+
+I am after building a new place called the _Wellington Arms_, and trying
+to be _Barrack-master_; if I dont gain the _Trial_ I shall be glad to
+remain at the old _Crown_.
+
+This answer appeared to excite considerable sensation,
+
+The Twister General thought the meaning was,
+
+'if I do n't gain what I attempt to gain.'
+
+[The Short-hand writer was desired to read the answer, and the word
+_Trial_ was retained as the correct translation.]
+
+I {074}do not ask what you are to be hereafter, but whether you are
+_still_ head waiter at the Crown?
+
+The head waiter is dismissed occasionally.
+
+Are you married? More yes than no.
+
+Do you live with your own wife? No.
+
+Is she in this country? Yes.
+
+Why did you marry? To pay my debts.
+
+Then why did you part? Because my debts were paid.
+
+Were you not up to the eyes in debt? Si Signor.
+
+Are you not bound to manifest some gratitude towards those who have paid
+your debts?
+
+The Interpreter said the witness was a mere _fanfaron_, and that he
+found it difficult, if not impossible, to explain to the witness's
+understanding what was meant by _gratitude_.
+
+Cross Examination resumed.
+
+Did not you write to your wife a licentious letter, called a letter of
+license?--(_Order, order._)
+
+I ask you again the cause of your separation?
+
+She left me.
+
+On what account? I did not like her, and I told her I'd have nothing to
+do with _her_ any more.
+
+After that what did you do? Oh, I rambled about.
+
+Where did you go? To Jersey and elsewhere.
+
+Well, Sir, go on. Non mi ricordo.
+
+Do you mean to say that you never went to Manchester Square? More yes
+than no.
+
+Were you in the house on the footing of a private friend? No, not as a
+friend.
+
+You {075}mentioned your father just now:--you did not go in your
+father's _cart_, I presume; in what sort of carriage did you go? In
+the old yellow chariot.
+
+How long did it take you to travel from Manchester Square to Richmond?
+Non mi ricordo.
+
+How many other places did you go to? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Is the Marquis of C. a married man?
+
+(_Order. Order._)
+
+After you parted from your wife, on what terms did you live? I've been
+_trying_ to get rid of her.
+
+Do you know what Matthew says (c. v. v. 32.)?
+
+Matthew? Matthew? (_trying to recollect_)--what Matthew?--he's no
+friend of mine.
+
+In what light do you consider your oath at the marriage ceremony? A
+ceremony.
+
+If your marriage oath has not bound you, can you expect people to
+believe you if ever you should take a solemn public oath? More yes than
+no.
+
+By the Roman law, a divorce was granted for Drunkenness, Adultery, and
+_False Keys_: what is your opinion of that law?
+
+The Twister General said, that it was contrary to common sense to ask
+the witness's opinion about any _Law_.
+
+How many Wives does _your_ Church allow you? Non mi ricordo.
+
+How many have you had since you separated from your own? Non mi
+ricordo.
+
+Are you a Member of the Society for the Suppression of Vice? Yes (_with
+great energy_).
+
+The Cross-examining Counsel said that the Interpreter had materially
+altered the sense of the last question; {076}he had in fact asked, if
+the Witness was Member of the Society for the suppression of _Wives, (a
+loud laugh)_ which Witness had eagerly answered in the affirmative.
+
+The Witness's answer was expunged, and on the question being repeated
+correctly, he answered that he was told it was his duty to encourage the
+_Vice_ Society, because it professed to diminish the influence of bad
+example.
+
+Have they ever prosecuted you? Me!--(_with astonishment_)--they like
+_me_ too well!
+
+What do you mean then by Suppression--is your Soeiety to prevent little
+vice from being committed, or great vice from being found out?
+
+More Yes than No.
+
+It was here moved by Lord Le Cuisinier, that 4 o'Clock, the hour of
+dinner, was arrived.
+
+Another, in a maiden Speeeh, said, that during his long silence in that
+Court he had had leisure to observe, that 4 o'Clock in the _morning_ was
+a more usual hour of adjournment.
+
+Another considered that Lord Le Cuisinier's suggestion ought not to be
+entertained for a moment. We only exist in our formalities. If we suffer
+ourselves to be put a stop to by the motion, we may find that we are
+travelling round again into the obsolete usages of our early ancestors;
+which will be to describe a circle that must be generally considered
+as nothing less than a revolution! I therefore deprecate the least
+innovation, and move, as an amendment, that 4 o'Clock is _not_ arrived.
+
+The {077}Master General of the _Black_ Barracks at Exeter, rose without
+his wig, and declaring, upon the memory of his whiskers, that he had
+just heard it strike 4, he enquired whether the Clock was in _Order.
+(Loud and continued cries of hear hear.)_
+
+The Home DOCTOR felt his pulse alarmingly quicken one and a fraction in
+the minute, and nervously said, that the clock was clearly guilty of a
+barefaced libel and ought to be instantly held to bail for breach of the
+peace. The simultaneous action of all the Clocks throughout the nation
+and their open communication by circulars, was an index to the existence
+of an organized correspondence and a systematic affiliation. He trembled
+at the positive intelligence he had received, that millions at that
+moment held their hands in an attitude ready to strike; but it was the
+proudest day of his life that he had so far succeeded by a _circular_
+movement of his own, as to enable his workmen to hold them to the peace
+for an hour together.
+
+Lord Bathos assured the Black-Barrack Master-General that the Clock
+_was_ out of Order, and he congratulated the Home Doctor on his
+efficiency; but he thought they had not sunk low enough into the
+subject; for he had strong doubts whether the striking might not be
+construed into an overt act of High Treason, and if he saw any
+probability of being supported he should conclude with a substantive
+motion. Did not the Lord Precedent remember a Clock Case, in which,
+immediately after the chain had been locked up, a principal link
+suddenly disappeared? and whether, after the most minute inquiry, there
+was not every reason to believe from the best information that could be
+obtained at that time, {078}that that link had been _prigged? (Hear
+hear.)_ Take even the very last Clock Case, where the chain was kept
+together with the greatest pains, and the utmost care. If the smallest
+link in that chain had been _prigged_, it would have been fatal to the
+works, and yet in that very case, two days after the chain was locked
+up, a link was obtained, which, if sooner discovered, would have
+lengthened the chain to the necessary extent, and brought home in the
+most conclusive manner the guilt of the Clock. He therefore moved that
+the Clock be examined, and the chain kept in their own custody, with
+liberty to add to the number of links.
+
+Lord Ratstail with his usual animation seconded the Motion.
+
+Marquiz Boudoir moved as an Amendment, that the Clock being in contempt,
+the _Black stick_ be ordered to _walk him_ in to-morrow. Seconded.
+
+Upon this Amendment the following Amendment was moved and seconded, that
+the word 'to-morrow' be expunged, and the word 'yesterday' be inserted
+in its place. _Ordered._
+
+Cross Examination resumed.
+
+Does the Witness recollect whether he was at B--------? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Who usually closed the Pavilion? I did.
+
+Was it so close as to exclude any person outside from seeing what passed
+within, or was it partially open? It was quite closed--When I could not
+close it with C**** entirely, I did it with other pieces.
+
+What do you mean by saying with other pieces?
+
+I mean with other pieces of the same quality.
+
+Symptoms {079}of impatience were now expressed, with loud cries of
+_Withdraw, withdraw._
+
+Do you remember any thing particular occurring one night? No.
+
+Do you not recollect whether a new wing was added during the time you
+and your mistress were absent? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Do you know a certain Colonel Q.? Yes, he has _too_ little mustachios.
+
+Are you a sober man? More no than yes.
+
+How many bottles a day do you drink. Non mi ricordo.
+
+Do you drink six bottles? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Five bottles? Non mi ricordo.
+
+How many nights in the week do you go to bed sober? Non mi ricordo.
+
+Are you sober now? More no than yes.
+
+Where do you spend your mornings? AtbCuracao.
+
+Where do you spend your evenings? At the _Cat and Fiddle._
+
+What is your favorite dish? Trifle.
+
+What is your favorite game? _Bag-at-L----_
+
+What is your favorite amusement? The C.
+
+After Dressing, Drinking, and Dreaming, what time remains for thinking?
+Non mi ricordo.
+
+I hold in my hand a list of immense sums of money that have been
+advanced to you, how much have you left? None.
+
+Well, but you have something to show for it? No.
+
+How do you live? I have a _doll_-shop, and a large stable in the
+country, and some _cow_-houses in different parts.
+
+Are {080}not your favourite friends _horn_-boys and flashmen?--_(Order, order.)_
+
+Can you produce a certificate of good character from those who _know_
+you? Yes, from the _minister._
+
+Pho! plio! do n't trifle; can you from any _respectable_ person?
+More no than yes.
+
+I understand you have the _scarlet_ fever, do you not know that it ends
+here in a _putrid_ fever? Non mi ricordo.
+
+You have many companions and advisers, but have you to your knowledge
+one _real_ friend in the world; and if not, why not? Non mi ricordo.
+
+By what acts of your life do you expect you will be remembered hereafter
+? I shall not answer you any more questions; you put questions to me I never dreamt of.
+
+Suppose every man in society were to do as you do, what would become
+of society; and what right have you to do so, more than any other man
+?--_(Witness greatly agitated?)_
+
+The Witness from the _Grillery_ asked whether the _Cross_ Examination
+was nearly concluded? _(Cries of Keep on!)_--Supposing that the
+business would close to day at 4 o'clock, he had made a private
+_assignation,_ although he was quite ready to _stop_ if necessary.
+
+The Lord Precedent Furthermore was in favour of adhering to a square
+rule; he had not entered the Court till five seconds past ten by his
+_stop_-watch, {081}in consequence of consulting with his Wife upon
+a motion-of-course which they had contemplated; and their further
+deliberation had been postponed until after the adjournment to-day. It
+was impossible to know what questions might turnout to be doubtful or
+doubtless; yet adjourning at Five o'Clock would gain a delay of six
+hours in the Week, and the _gaining of any thing_ he considered very
+material in the present case.
+
+An Adjournment then took place, the Witness remaining on
+
+THE GRILLERY.

+
+
+CONSPIRACY.
+
+WHEREAS {082}a most abominable GANG, have caused to be published and
+promulgated throughout the Nation a description of the infirmities and
+necessities of our nature, of which decorum forbids the mention; and
+also gross and inflaming allusions to the intercourse between the sexes,
+and wanton and shocking exposures relating thereto; to the destruction
+of youthful innocence, to the shame and disgust of matron modesty, and
+to the horror of all heads of families: it is therefore proposed to
+call an immediate MEETING, for the purpose of considering the best
+mode of preventing an increase of this dreadful contamination, and of
+securing the ringleaders of the Conspiracy, and bringing them to condign
+punishment.
+
+NEW VICTUALLING OFFICE.
+
+TO CONTRACTORS.--Persons willing to supply this Establishment with
+CAST-IRON REPEATERS, having duplex Movements, according to the Working
+Models now in use as above, may send in Sealed Tenders, stating the
+number they can instantly supply for immediate use, and the price
+thereof at per hundred.
+
+TO NACKERMEN.
+
+THE old Hackney, Liverpool, who lately lost his paces, is _glandered,_
+gone blind, got cruel vicious, tried to kick his mistress's brains
+out, shattered himself to nothing, and is expected to go down with the
+staggers. Any body who thinks it worth while to send a _drag_ to the
+Stable yard may have him for fetching.
+
+TO MANGLERS--JUST LEAVING HIS PLACE.
+
+A STOUT ABLE-BODIED IRISHMAN, for a long time a master hand at mangling;
+when he begins there is no stopping him, and never tires. Can fold
+and smooth, and double and iron, all day. Will turn with any body. Was
+formerly a master in Dublin, where his mangling will never be forgotten.
+His Character may be had of any body there. Is very smooth spoken, of
+good address, looks like an upper Valet, and is a perfect devil at his
+Work. May be heard of at the Triangle in the Bird-cage Walk.
+
+TO LAUNDRESSES, WANTS A PLACE.
+
+AN old Woman accustomed to coarse things; and work, however filthy,
+never comes amiss. Where she is now they find her in _ruin_, and she
+finds dishclouts; but is leaving, being almost poisoned by printers'
+ink. To save trouble, will have nothing to do with cleaning the House.
+Is used to ironing, and putting by, in any quantities, and never tires
+at hanging up. Can have an undeniable Character from the Rev. Mr. Hay,
+and the Recorder of London.
+
+STRAYED AND MISSING.
+
+IN {083}Infirm Elderly Gentleman in a Public Office, lately left his
+home, just after dreadfully ill-using his wife about half a Crown, and
+trying to beat her. He had long complained a great deal of his forehead,
+and lately had a leech put upon him. He was last seen walking swiftly
+towards the Horns without a Crown to his hat, accompanied by some
+evil disposed persons, who tied a great green bag to his tail full of
+crackers, which he mistook for sweetmeats, and burnt himself dreadfully.
+Every person he met in this deplorable condition tried to persuade him
+to go back, but in vain. He is very deaf and very obstinate, and cannot
+bear to be looked at or spoken to. It is supposed that he has been
+seduced and carried off by some artful female. He may be easily known by
+his manners. He fancies himself the politest man in Europe, because he
+knows how to bow, and to offer a pinch of snuff; and thinks himself the
+greatest man in Europe, because people have humoured him and let him
+have his own way. He is so fond of tailoring, that he lately began a
+suit that will take him his life to complete. He delights in playing at
+soldiers, supposes himself a cavalry officer, and makes speeches, that
+others write for him, in a field marshal's uniform. Sometimes he fancies
+himself 'Glorious Apollo,' plays;Hailstones of Brunswick' on the base
+fiddle, and qualifies his frieuds to perform 'Cuckolds all on a row.'
+His concerns are very much deranged. Not long ago he imported a vast
+quantity of Italian images at enormous prices, upon credit, and hoarded
+them up in a waterside cotton warehouse. Since then, things have gone
+all against him, and he has been in a very desponding state. It is of
+the utmost consequence to himself that he should be at his post, or he
+may lose his place; one of his predecessors some time ago having
+been cashiered for his misconduct. If this should meet his eye, it is
+earnestly requested that he will return to his duty, and he will be
+kindly received and no questions asked.
+
+N. B. He has not a friend in the world except the advertiser and a few
+others, who never had an opportunity of speaking to him and letting him
+know the real state of his affairs.

+PUBLIC OFFICE, LUDGATE HILL.
+
+1st September, 1820. "WHEREAS {084}that well known old established
+Public House, (formerly a _free_ house) called the Political House that Jack built, has been
+feloniously entered into and damaged, and the property therein carried
+off to a large amount, by a numerous gang of desperate Villains, who,
+by various vile arts and contrivances, have not only kept possession
+thereof, but also of the Head Waiter, who was intrusted by Mr. Bull,
+the owner, with the management of the concern, and was a very promising
+young man when Mr. Bull first knew him, and might have done very well
+if he had followed the advice of his old friends, and not suffered these
+desperadoes to get him into their clutches; since when he seems to have
+forgotten himself, and by neglecting his duty sadly, and behaving ill to
+the customers who support the House, has almost ruined the Business,
+and has also dreadfully injured the Sign, which Mr. Bull had had fresh
+painted after he dismissed a former waiter for his bad manners. Whoever
+will assist Mr. Bull in bringing the offenders to Justice, will be doing
+a great service to the young man, and he will still be retained in his
+situation, unless he has actually destroyed or made away with the Sign,
+which Mr. Bull very much admires, it being a _heir-loom_. If offered to
+be pawned or sold it is requested the parties may be stopped, and notice
+given as above. As the young man has not been seen for some time, there
+is no doubt the ruffians have either done him a serious mischief, or
+secreted him somewhere to prevent Mr. Bull, who is really his friend,
+from speaking to him.

+alive O! Walk up I--now's your time!--only a shilling. Please to
+walk up!
+
+Here is the strangest and most wonderful artificial Cabinet in
+Europe!--made of nothing--but lacker'd brass, turnery, and papier
+mache--all fret work and varnish, held together by steel points!--very
+crazy, but very curious!
+
+Please to walk in, Ladies and Gentlemen--it's well worth seeing! here
+are the most wonderful of all wonderful Living Animals. 'Jake care!
+Don't go within their reach-they mind nobody but me! A short time ago
+they got loose, and, with some other vermin that came from their holes
+and corners, desperately attacked a Lady of Quality; but, as luck would
+have it, I, and my (four and twenty men,' happened to come in at the
+very moment;--we 'pull'd' away, and prevented'em from doing her a
+serious mischief. Though they look tame, their vicious dispositions
+are unchanged. If any thing was to happen to me, they'd soon break out
+again, and shew their natural ferocity, i'm in continual danger from'em
+myself--for if I didn't watch'em closely they'd destroy me. As the clown
+says, 'there never was such times,'--so there's no telling what tricks
+they may play yet.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,--these animals have been exhibited at Court,
+before the King, and all the Royal Family! Indeed His Majesty is so
+fond of'em that he often sees'em in private, and feeds'em; and he is
+so diverted by'em that he has been pleased to express his gracious
+approbation of all their motions. But they're as cunning as the old one
+himself! Bless you, he does not know a thousandth part of their tricks.
+You, Ladies and Gentlemen, may see'em just as they are!--the Beasts and
+Reptiles--all alive! alive O! and the Big Boo by--all a-light! a-light

+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,

+I begin the Exhibition with the Crocodile, which is of the Lizard tribe
+; yet, from his _facility of creeping through narrow and intricate
+ways,_ he has been classed among Serpents. * He has a monstrous
+appetite, his _swallow_ is immense, and his legs are placed _side_-ways.
+It is a vulgar error to suppose that he cannot _turn_; for, although
+he is in appearance very heavy, and his back is very strong, and proof
+against the hardest blows, yet he is so _pliable_, that he can _wheel_
+round with the utmost facility. When in his haunt, and apparently
+torpid, he sometimes utters a piteous _whine_ of distress--almost human;
+_sheds tears_, and, attracting the unwary, suddenly darts upon a man,
+and gorges him with all he has. His _claws_ are very long and tenacious.
+If a victim eludes his grasp, he infallibly secures him by his fleet
+power. He is sometimes used for purposes of _state and show_, and his
+bags are much coveted for their _peculiar_ qualities. **

+THE LOCUST.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The Locust is a destructive insect, of the Grillus tribe. They are
+so numerous, and so rapacious, that they may be compared to an army,
+pursuing its march to devour the fruits of the earth, as an instrument
+of _divine displeasure_ towards a devoted country. They have leaders,
+who direct their motions in preying on the labours of man _in fertile
+regions_. No insect is more formidable in places where they breed: for
+they _wither_ whatever they _touch_. It is impossible to recount the
+_terrible devastations_ which historians and travellers relate that they
+have committed at different times, in various parts of the world. Many
+are so _venomous_, that persons _handling_ them are immediately stung,
+and seized with shivering and trembling; but it has been discovered
+that, in most cases, their hateful qualities are completely assuaged by
+_palm_ oil.*

+A SCORPION.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The Scorpion is a reptile that resembles the _common lobster_, but is
+much more hideous. They are very terrible to mankind, on account of
+their size and malignity, and their large _crooked stings_. They often
+assault and kill people in their houses. In Italy, and some other parts
+of Europe, they are the greatest pests of mankind; but their venom is
+most dreadful in the _East_. An inferior species sally forth at certain
+seasons, in battalions;--scale houses that stand in the way of their
+march;--wind along the course of rivers;--and on their retreat entrench
+themselves. Scorpions are so irascible, that they will attempt to sting
+a _constable's staff_; yet even a harmless little mouse * destroyed
+three of them, _one after the other_, by acting on the _defensive_,
+survived their venomous wounds, and seemed pleased with its victory.
+When in a confined space, they exert all their rage against each other,
+and there is nothing to be seen but universal carnage. If this mutual
+destruction did not prevail, they would multiply so fast as to render
+some countries uninhabitable. **

+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The Lobster is very similar to the scorpion. It is _armed_ with _two_
+great _claws_, by the help of which it moves itself _forwards_. They
+_entrench_ themselves in places that can be easily defended, where they
+acquire defensive and offensive _armour_. They issue forth from their
+_fortresses_ in hope of _plunder_, and to surprise such inadvertent and
+weak animals as come within their reach. They have little to apprehend
+except from each other, the more powerful being formidable enemies to
+the weaker. They sometimes continue in the same habitations for a long
+time together; in general they get _new coats once a year_. When in
+_hot water_ they make a great noise, attack any one that puts a hand
+towards them, and knowing their danger, use violent efforts to escape.
+In a sufficient heat they _change their colours_.*

+THE OPOSSUM.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+This is a _quick climbing_ animal; but is, in other respects, _heavy_
+and helpless. When it is pursued on _level ground_ and overtaken, it
+feigns itself dead, to deceive the hunters. A faculty in its _seat_,
+enables it to suspend itself from a high branch, by that part, for a
+long time together; and, in this position, watching for whatever is weak
+that comes within its reach, it falls upon it and usually destroys it.
+By this elevating power in its _nether end_, it not only seizes its prey
+more securely, but preserves itself from pursuers: looking down on them,
+in a sort of _upright_ position, heels upwards. It is very domesticated,
+but proves a disagreeable inmate, from its _scent_; which, however
+fragrant in _small_ quantities, is uniformly ungrateful when _copiously_
+supplied. _It is a boroughing creature_. *

+they have took most pains for.--Erasmus of Folly, 96.
+
+In other countries, they make laws upon laws and add precepts upon
+precepts, till the endless number of them makes the fundamental part
+to be forgotten; leaving nothing but a confused heap of explanations,
+which may cause ignorant people to doubt whether there is really any

+notice of right or wrong: for among them vice is called virtue;
+wickedness, piety; treason, loyalty; robbery, justice: Plunder is
+their motto; and all this they do, because they dare. Gripe-men-all,
+the Chief of the Purr'd Law-cats, said to Pantagruel 'Our Laws are
+like cobwebs; your silly little flies are stopt, caught, and destroy'd

+
+BLACK RATS.--(Stuffed.)
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+These are most pernicious animals. They borough, and prey on our food,
+drink, clothing, furniture, live-stock, and every convenience of life;
+furnishing their residences with the plunder of our property. They have
+particular haunts, to which they entice each other in large numbers,
+for the sake of _prey_; where they often do incredible damage to our
+_mounds_, and undermine the strongest _embankments_. Sometimes they
+hoard their plunder in _nests_, that they make at a distance from their
+usual _places of congregating. * They are very bold and fierce. Instead
+of waiting for an attack, they usually become the aggressors, and,
+_seizing their adversaries by the lips_, inflict dangerous, and even
+deadly wounds. While they subsist on our industry, and increase our
+terrors, they make no grateful returns, and, therefore, mankind have
+studied various ways for diminishing their numbers; but their _cunning_
+discovers the most distant danger, and if any are disturbed or attacked,
+in an unusual manner, the rest take the alarm, and, becoming exceedingly
+shy, and wary, elude the most ingenious devices of their pursuers. When,
+unhappily, you come in contact with one of these _vermin_, the best way
+of dispatching it is by a single squeeze; but novices who hesitate,
+are sure to prove sufferers. They have been found on a bench, so
+_interwoven_ by their tails, that _by reason of their entanglement, they
+could not part. ** A dead rat, _by altering the look of his head and
+the appearance of his skin_, may be transformed into the appearance of
+a much more _powerful_ animal; and this, Ladies and Gentlemen, _has been
+considered a master piece in cheating._***

+This offensive insect lives in _stagnant_ waters, continually watching

+_hard and prominent_, the shoulders _broad and flat_. It wastes twenty
+times as much as its appetite requires; one can destroy thirty or
+forty of the libellula kind, each as large as itself. It is nevertheless
+greatly overrun with a small kind of lice, which probably repay the
+injuries it inflicts elsewhere. At certain seasons it flies to _distant
+waters_ in search of food; but it remains where it was produced until
+fully grown, when it sallies forth in search of a companion of the
+other sex, and soon begets an useless generation.*

+him with dreadful ferocity, and, unless dragged off, tears and rends
+the form until every noble feature of humanity is destroyed. It has an
+exquisite smell for blood. The species vary little throughout the world
+: there is scarcely any difference between the trans-atlantic _Spanish_
+blood-hound and the _Irish_ wolf-dog, whose ferocity has been much
+diminished by the animal being frequently _crossed_. It is still kept on

+THE BOOBY.
+
+Ladies and Gentlemen,
+
+The _Creature_ you now see is a sort of _Noddy_ of the Gull kind.
+Observe his uncouth form and his ludicrously wise looks! He is the most
+stupid of the _feathered_ tribe; yet he has a _voracious_ appetite, and
+an enormous swallow. You perceive that he feigns the appearance of being
+_upright_, of seeming to comprehend objects he sees, of listening to
+what he hears, and that he shakes his head with _gravity_, as though
+he had a certain degree of understanding. His greatest pleasure is in
+_standing still._ He has not sense enough to _get out of People's way_
+; speaking to him or making _motions_ never disturb him. There is no
+compelling him to the fatigue of _changing_ his position till he feels
+a _blow_; for he keeps his place till he is approached quite close, and
+_knocked down_. He is a living _full stop_. When he is _forced to
+walk_, which is very seldom, he goes from _side to side_. Like others of
+similar tribes, he boroughs. In this respect the union and affection of
+these _Creatures_ towards each other is wonderful; for, when undisturbed
+by the encroachments of _men_, they construct their _nests_ as
+convenient as if they expected them to be _permanent_; arranging
+their different places with such an amazing degree of uniformity, as to
+resemble a _regular plantation_. Sometimes they draw up side by side,
+in rank and file, and sit brooding together as if in deep counsel,
+on affairs of moment--their _silliness_ and _solemnity_ exciting
+involuntary _laughter!_ This _burlesque_ takes place, in particular,
+about
+
+{108}the month of _November_. The habits of these tribes are known
+through those who visit the haunts they have forsaken for more obscure
+_retreats_, where they can _build aloft_, and settle in their _nests_ at
+ease: a practice which confirms the remark of a great naturalist, that
+the presence of _men_ not only destroys the society of the _meaner_
+animals, but even extinguishes their _grovelling_ instincts. Hitherto
+the Booby has been considered of no service whatever; yet a similar
+species, * by drawing a wick through the body and lighting it, is made
+into a _candle_S. ** If this Booby could be thus used, the _illumination
+of_ both Houses and the public offices might be speedily effected, and
+the tribe he belongs to be rendered available to human purposes. At
+any rate a skilful tallow-chandler might try his hand at converting the

+THE BOA DESOLATOR, OR LEGITIMATE VAMPIRE.
+
+It overlays the continent like an ugly Incubus, sucking the blood and
+stopping up the breath of man's life. It claims Mankind as its property,
+and allows human nature to exist only upon sufferance; it haunts the
+understanding like a frightful spectre, and oppresses the very air
+witha weight that is not to be borne. Hazlitt's Political Essays and
+Characters, p. 21.
+
+This hideous Beast, not having at any time put forth all his _members_,
+cannot be accurately described. Every _dark_ Century has added to his
+frightful bulk. More disgusting than the filthiest reptile, his strength
+exceeds all other _brute force_.
+
+His enormous, bloated, toad-like body is _ferruginous: * the under
+surface appears of _polished steel_. His cavern-like mouth is always
+open to devour; his teeth are as _swords_, and his jaw-teeth as
+knives'--as millions of _bristling bayonets_ intermingled with _black
+fangs_ containing mortal venom. His roar is a voice from the sepulchre.
+He is marked 'in form of a cross_, ** with a series of _chains_,
+intersected by the triangle, *** and glittering colours, variegated with
+_red_.
+
+His aspect is cruel and terrible. He loves the _dark_, but never sleeps.
+Wherever he makes his lair, nature sickens, and man is brutified. His
+presence is 'plague, pestilence, and famine, battle, and murder, and
+sudden death.' His bite rapidly _undermines the strongest_ Constitution,
+and dissolves the whole into an entire mass of Corruption. He has no
+_brain_, but the _walls_ of the skull emit a _tinkling_ sound, that
+attracts his victims, and lulls them into _passive obedience_. In this
+state he clutches them in his coils, and _screws and squeezes_ them to
+destruction--_slavering_ them over, and sucking in their _substance_
+at leisure. It is difficult to witness the half-stifled cries of his
+harmless prey, or to behold its anxiety and trepidation, while the
+monster writhes hideously around it, without imagining _what our own
+case would be in the same dreadful situation._ *****

+He lives in defiance and scorn of Providence, and in hatred to the
+happiness of man. When distended with human carnage, and wet with the
+gore of the innocent and the helpless, he lifts an impious _form_ to
+heaven in solemn mockery. He was predicted of by the Seer of old, as the
+Beast with many heads and crowns, bearing the name of Blasphemy.
+
+The garish _colours_ that denote his malignity, excite only horror and
+detestation in the lover of nature, and of his species. They are most
+_lively_ when he is engaged in the work of death, and cause him to be
+admired by the vulgar multitude, learned and unlearned, who hold him
+_sacred_, pay him _divine honors_, call him _holy_, and fall down before
+him as an object-of worship, while priests glorify him, and minister to
+him, and pray for his murderous successes in the temples. Hence-the good
+and the wise, in all ages, have devised and practised various methods
+for the destruction of a Fiend that creates nothing but _terror and
+imposture_, and between whom and rational man there is a natural
+antipathy.
+
+He is filled with the deadliest rage by the encreasing growth of the
+_pop'lar Tree_S:--
+
+          THAT TREE, beneath whose shade the Sons of Men
+          Shall 'pitch their tenta in peace.

+            ----Brissot murder'd, and the blameless wife
+           Of Roland! Martyr'd patriots, spirits pure,
+           Wept by the good, ye fell! Yet still survives,
+           Sown by your toil, and by your blood manured,
+           The imperishable TREE; and still its roots
+           Spread, and strike deep. ----

+way of putting him _quietly_ out of the world is by a consisting of the
+_four and twenty letters_ * of the alphabet, properly _composed_, made
+up in certain _forms_, covered with sheets of white _paper_. and well
+_worked_ in a _Columbian_ Press. These Papers are to be _forced down his
+throat_ {113}daily, _morning and evening_, and on every _seventh_ day
+a _double_ dose should be administered. The operation is accelerated
+by the powerful _exhibition_ of the Wood Draughts. In a short time his
+teeth will fall out--he will be seized with catalepsy--in the last stage
+of mortification, _he will_ sting himself _to death_;--and all mankind,
+relieved from the deadened atmosphere under which they had been

+THE MAN IN THE MOON,
+
+A SPEECH FROM THE THRONE, TO THE SENATE OF LUNATARIA
+
+[Illustration: 128]
+
+INTRODUCTION.
+
+    I lately dream'd that, in a huge balloon,
+    All silk and gold, I journey'd to the Moon,
+    Where the same objects seem'd to meet my eyes
+    That I had lately left below the skies;
+
+{121}
+
+     And judge of my astonishment, on seeing
+     All things exactly, to a hair, agreeing:
+     The mountains, rivers, cities, trees, and towers,
+     On Cynthia's silver surface, seem'd like ours;
+     Men, women, children, language, dress, and faces,
+     Lords, Commons, Lackies, Pensioners, and Places,
+     Whigs, Tories, Lawyers, Priests, and men of blood,
+     And even _Radicals_--by all that's good!
+
+     In a long street, just such as London's Strand is,
+     'Midst Belles and Beggars, Pickpockets and Dandies,
+     Onward I went, between a brazen horse,
+     And a large Inn which bore a Golden Cross,
+     Then through a passage, narrow, long and dark,
+     That brought my footsteps to a spacious park.
+
+     It chanc'd that morning that the Sovereign Dey,
+     The Prince of Lunataria pass'd that way--
+     Gods! what a sight! what countless crouds were there,
+     What yells, and groans, and hootings, rent the air!
+     By which, I learn'd, the Lunatarian nation
+     Are wont to testify their admiration;
+     We don't do so on earth--but that's no matter--
+     The Dey went onward, midst a hideous clatter
+     To meet the Senators; for'twas appointed,
+     That, on that morning, He--the Lord's anointed--
+     Should make a grand Oration from the throne,
+     That his most royal pleasure might be known.
+
+{122}
+
+     Respecting certain great affairs of State:--
+     I heard the speech; Oh! could the muse relate
+     The "_elegance_ the sweet "_distinctiveness_"
+     With which his Royal Deyship did address
+     That reverend body of Moonarian sages,
+     I'd write a book that should endure for ages.
+
+     Alas! such heights are not for me to reach;
+     I'll therefore, from my note-book, take the Speech,
+     And you must say, as'tis by Pope exprest,
+     "Give all thou canst, and _we_ will dream the rest!"
+

+
+THE SPEECH.
+
+     MY L--rds and G--tl--n,
+     I grieve to say,
+     That poor old Dad,
+     Is just as--bad,
+     As when I met you here
+     the other day.
+
+{124}
+
+     'Tis pity that these cursed State Affairs
+     Should take you from your pheasants and your hares
+     Just now:
+
+                    But lo!
+
+     Conspiracy and Treason are abroad!
+
+     Those imps of darkness, gender'd in the wombs
+     Of spinning-jennies, winding-wheels, and looms,
+
+     In Lunashire--
+
+                  Oh, Lord!
+
+     My L--ds and G--tl--n, we've much to fear!
+
+     Reform, Reform, the swinish rabble cry--
+     Meaning, of course, rebellion, blood, and riot--
+     Audacious rascals! you, my Lords, and I,
+     Know 'tis their duty to be starved in quiet:
+     But they have grumbling habits, incompatible
+     With the repose of _our_ august community--
+     They see that good things are with us come-at-ible,
+     And therefore slyly watch their opportunity
+     To get a share;
+
+                  Yes, they declare
+     That we are not God's favorites alone--
+     That _they_ have rights to food, and clothes, and air,
+     As well as you, the Brilliants of a throne!
+     Oh! indications foul of revolution--
+     The villains would destroy the Constitution!
+
+{125}
+
+     I've given orders for a lot of Letters,
+     From these seditious, scribbling, scoundrels' betters
+     N--d--n and N--rr--s, F--ch--r, W--t and H--y
+     'To _lie_, for your instruction,'
+
+     Upon the table;
+
+     From which said premises you'll soon be able
+                  To make a fair deduction,
+
+     That some decisive measures must be taken,
+     Without delay,
+
+            To quell the _Radicals_,
+
+     and save our bacon.
+
+     And now, my faithful C--m--ns,
+     You must find
+
+                   The means to raise the wind:
+
+     For Derry Down, and Sid, have thought it wise,
+     To have--_besides the Spies_--
+     A few more Cut-throats, to protect the rhino
+     Of loyal people,--such as you and I know.
+
+     Van's estimates will come before you straight;
+     And, I foresee
+     That your opinions will with mine agree,
+
+                  No lighter weight
+            Can well be placed on
+
+{126}
+
+[Illustration: 134]
+
+     Who is, you know,
+
+                 a very willing hack.
+
+        The revenue has fluctuated
+                 slightly--
+
+              See the _Courier_--
+
+     But it's been found to be
+
+                  improving nightly--
+
+     For two weeks past,--
+
+                  therefore we've nought to fear.
+
+       Some branches of our trade
+                are still deprest,
+
+     And those dependant on them
+                wanting food,
+
+{127}
+
+     _But that's a sort of
+
+                   temporary evil_--
+
+     'Twill wear away:
+
+                 perhaps'tis for the best
+     At all events,'twill do no good
+     To let the starving wretches be uncivil.
+
+     Five years ago, you know, our sad condition
+     Was partly owing to
+
+                  '_the quick transition
+     From war to peace_'--then,
+
+                  we had '_scanty crops_'--
+     Then, something else--and now--
+     our weavers' shops
+     Are full of _Radicals_,
+
+                 and _Flags_, and _Caps_;
+     But '_temporary_' still
+
+                  are these mishaps--
+
+     The 'quick transition's' gone,
+
+                 the 'crops' are good,
+     And though the _Radicals_
+
+                 may still want food,
+
+     A few
+
+{128}
+
+[Illustration: 136]
+
+     STEEL LOZENGES
+
+     will stop their pain,
+
+     And set the Constitution
+     right again.
+
+       My L--ds and G--tl--n,
+
+                    The foreign powers
+     Write me word frequently that they are ours,
+
+     Most truly and sincerely, in compliance
+     With our most

+
+     HOLY COMPACT AND ALLIANCE,
+
+     The purposes of which
+
+     I need not mention--
+
+     You that have brains can guess
+                 at the intention.
+
+        'Tis my most anxious wish,
+                 now we're at peace,
+
+     That all internal discontents
+                  should cease--
+
+     T' accomplish which
+
+                 I see no better way
+     Than putting one-eyed pensioners
+     on full pay.

+
+            'The body of the people, I do think,
+            are loyal still,'
+
+          But pray, My L--ds and G--tl--n,
+          don't shrink
+          From exercising all your care
+          and skill,
+
+           Here, and at home,
+
+           TO CHECK THE CIRCULATION

+
+     bespeak abomination.
+
+           Oh! they are full of blasphemies
+           and libels,
+

+     To save _our_ morals from this public cancer;
+
+     Go and impress, my friends, upon all classes,
+     From sleek-fac'd Swindlers down to half-starv'd Asses,
+     'That, from religious principles alone,'

+     (_Dont be such d----d fools as to blab your own_)
+     Temperance, chasteness, conjugal attention--

+     We trust him not too far. King though he be,
+     And King in England too, he may be weak.

+PREFACE.
+
+       "Perish those poets, and be hush'd the song,
+        Which with this _nonsense_ charm'd the world so long,
+        That he who does no right, can do no wrong."
+
+                                         De Foe.
+
+To condemn _nonsense_, especially in high places, is proper: there are
+ancient precedents for it.
+
+A thousand years before Christ, Nathan, a priest in the house of the
+Lord at Jerusalem, knew that David the Lord's anointed, had not only
+worked _folly_ in Israel, by committing adultery with a beautiful woman,
+but had committed _crime_, by causing her husband to be put to death.
+The honest priest charged both the folly and the crime upon the king!
+He went up to his majesty with this Address: "_Thou art the man!_"
+He prosecuted him at the bar of his own conscience, convicted him,
+and passed sentence upon him--"_The sword shall not depart from thine
+house!_"
+
+Three thousand years after this, a priest, sent into an English House of
+Lords by the nomination of the king, affirms there, that "he had 'high
+authority' for stating, that the king could not commit _folly_. much
+less _crime!"_ right? {138}If he does say this, I ask him, how
+long, after oppression should be exercised through the prerogative by
+virtually irresponsible ministers and be declared no wrong, he supposes
+that a king of England could sit on the throne, or the bishops who
+maintain the doctrine, sit either at its right hand in the Lords, or any
+where else? I tell this bishop, that though the law may not suppose it
+possible for a king of England to do wrong, because it intends him to
+do right, yet if he _should_ do, and _continue_ to do, oppressive
+wrong, not all the bishops of England, nor all the bayonets of all
+the mercenaries of Europe, could keep that king upon the throne of an
+oppressed people against their united will.
+
+A king of England is not king in his own right, or by hereditary right.
+The nation is not a patrimony. He is not king by his own power; but in
+right of, and by the power of the law. He is not king above the law;
+but by, or under, the law. All the authority that he has, is given to
+him by law; and he can only rule _according_ to law: for were he to
+rule _against_ the law, he would be _king_ against the law, and depose
+himself. The law is the Sovereign, or paramount authority; hence,
+a king of England is a subject; and in this respect, he and all the
+people are upon a level before the law--they are all his fellow-subjects
+; though, as chief magistrate, he is the _first_ subject of the law.
+
+A king of England who regards the happiness of the people, and his own
+safety, would not wish to be stronger {139}than the law founded on the
+public will, makes him. More strength would be unnecessary to _his_
+welfare, and hurtful to theirs. All power _over others_, from the
+watch-box to the throne, tends to injure the understanding, and corrupt
+the heart. A good King would not desire unlimited power; a bad one
+would abuse it. He would become mad; and drive the people mad. A despot
+is a demon. Artillery and fetters with the royal robe flung over
+them--a cannon ball capped with the royal crown--animated by the royal
+will--crushing, burning, and butchering liberty, property, and human
+life--personify the power of an unlimited King.
+
+The ensuing satire shows the folly and danger of such power. It is a
+partial revival of the _Jure Divino_, written by Daniel De Foe in 1706.
+After the lapse of a century, nearly the same reason exists for the
+publication as the author adduced on its first appearance. It had never
+appeared, he says, "had not the world seemed to be going mad a second
+time with the error of passive obedience and non-resistance." It is not
+precisely so now: the _people_ have not gone mad, but a _bishop_ has,
+who may bite his brethren; and there is a slavish party of High Church
+zealots and pulpit casuists in the country who virtually support the
+doctrine--although if they attempt reducing it to practice, they may
+dig a pit beneath the throne, and engulph the dynasty. To expose this
+destructive doctrine, and disentangle the threads so artfully twisted
+into snares for the unwary by {140}priestcraft, De Foe composed his
+Satire. He was the ablest politician of his day, an energetic writer,
+and, better than all, an honest man; but not much of a poet. The _Jure
+Divino_ is defective in arrangement and versification. It is likewise
+disfigured by injudicious repetition; a large portion is devoted to the
+politics of the time, and it is otherwise unfit for republication entire
+; but it abounds with energetic thoughts, forcible touches, and happy
+illustrations. The present is an attempt to separate the gold from the
+dross. The selection is carefully made; from the parts rejected the
+best passages are preserved, the rhyme and metre are somewhat bettered,
+the extracts are improved and transposed, and many additions of my own
+are introduced. The production scornfully rejects the slavish folly,
+senseless jargon, and venal hypocrisy, which pretend that power is from
+God and not from the People. It defies those who draw upon scripture in
+support of _Divine Right_ to show that scripture lays down any rules of
+_political_ government, or enjoins any _political_ duties; or that
+it does not leave the people to determine by their own reason what
+government and what governors are best for themselves. It is a forcible
+and argumentative satire against the _nonsense_ from hole-and-corner
+and lawn-sleeve men; and presents a series of peculiarly strong and
+quotable lines, to engraft on the common sense of the free-minded,
+honest, and open-hearted of my countrymen. If it aids them in the
+occasional illustration and emphatic expression of {141}their opinions,
+the pains I have taken will be rewarded.
+
+There is another reason for publishing this satire, besides the revival
+of Priestcraft. Its twinbrother is alive. Kingcraft rears up its
+terrific mass, muffled in the mantle of Legitimacy; its head cowled
+and crowned, aud dripping with the holy oil of Divine Right; its eyes
+glaring deadly hate to human happiness; its lips demanding worship for
+itself. Denouncing dreadful curses against the free, and yelling forth
+threatenings and slaughter, it stamps with its hoof, and coils together
+its frightful force to fall on young Liberty and squelch it. Its red
+right-arm is bared for the butchery of the brave who love Freedom and
+dare contend for it. It has prepared its chains and dug its dungeons,
+erected its scaffolds, aud sharpened its axes for the wise and
+excellent of the earth; and its bloody banners are unfurled in insolent
+anticipation of unholy triumph!--
+
+        ------Still monarchs dream
+        Of universal empire growing up
+        From universal ruin! Blast the design,
+         Great God of Hosts, nor let thy creatures fall,
+         Unpitied victims at ambition's shrine!

+So prayed the Bishop of London, (Porteus--not Howley) and so fervently
+prays,
+
+The Author Of The Political House That Jack Built.

+
+THE SPIRIT OF DESPOTISM.
+
+The above Rare and Extraordinary Book was privately printed in 1795,
+without the name of either printer or bookseller, and so effectually
+suppressed, that there are only two copies of it besides my own in
+existence.
+
+Its real value consists in exhibiting an entire and luminous view of the
+causes and consequences of Despotic Power. Its enthusiastic and glowing
+love of Liberty is unexcelled by any work written since; and for
+clearness, richness, and beauty of style, it is superior to every
+production of the Press within the same period All that the author
+touches, he turns into gold. I regret to say that most probably I shall
+never be at liberty to disclose his name.
+
+Naturally desirous that such a work should be perused by all England, I
+have reprinted it, verbatim, from my own copy; and, although containing
+as much in quantity as a volume of Gibbon's History of Rome, it is sold
+for _Eighteen-pence_.

+WILLIAM HONE.
+
+     The _French_, instantly perceiving the transcendent
+     merit of the Spirit of Despotism, and its high importance at
+     this crisis, have translated it into their language, and it
+     is now read throughout France with the greatest avidity. I
+     intreat some good _Neapolitan_ to be the benefactor of his
+     Countrymen in like manner. It should be in the hands of the
+     free, and those who desire to be free, in all nations;--
+     _Austria_, for instance.

+THE RIGHT DIVINE OF KINGS TO GOVERN WRONG.
+
+BOOK I.
+
+       Thus Kings were first invented, and thus Kings
+       Were burnish'd into heroes, and became
+       The arbiters of this terraqueous swamp;
+       Storks among frogs that have but croak'd and died!

+
+     Arise, O Satire!--tune thy useful song,
+     Silence grows criminal, when crimes grow strong;
+     Of meaner vice, and villains, sing no more,
+     But Monsters crown'd, and Crime enrobed with Power!
+     At vice's high Imperial throne begin,
+     Relate the _ancient_ prodigies of sin;
+     With pregnant phrase, and strong impartial verse,
+     The crimes of men, and crimes of Kings rehearse!
+     What though thy labour shall to _us_ be vain,
+     And the World's bondage must _its time_ remain;
+     Let willing slaves in golden fetters lie,
+     There's none can save the men who _will_ to die.
+
+{144}
+
+     Yet some there are that would not tamely bow,
+     Who fain would break their chains, if they knew how;
+     And these, from thy inspired lines, may see,
+     How they choose bondage when they may go free.
+
+     He that can levy War with all mankind,
+     Retard the day-spring of the human mind;
+     Buy Justice, sell Oppression, bribe the Law,
+     Exalt the Fool, and keep the Wise in awe;
+     With pious Peter, * cant of heaven's commands,
+     Pray with his lips, and murder with his hands;
+     Insult the wretched, trample on the poor,
+     And mock the miseries mankind endure;
+     Can ravage countries, property devour,
+     And trample Law beneath the _feet of Power_;
+     Scorn the restraint of oaths and promised Right, **
+     And ravel compacts in the people's sight;
+
+          * Peter the Cruel, King of Caslile He married the daughter
+          of a Duke of Bourbon, whom he divorced, in order to renew
+          his connexion with a former mistress. His excesses
+          occasioned the people to dethrone him. He affected piety,
+          and to govern by divine right!
+
+          ** Despots seldom keep engagements.--The People of Prussia
+          have a 'promised right' from their king of some years
+          standing. After the Battle of Waterloo, he promised them a
+          Constitution--but became a member of the Holy Alliance. In
+          1814, this king, with another of the fraternity, the Emperor
+          of Russia, was entertained at an expense of 20,028L. 7s.
+          10d. in Guildhall London, by the Corporation in Common
+          Council assembled, who also presented addresses of
+          congratulation to the worthies, on their having contributed,
+          by encaging Napoleon, to restore what the addresses called,
+          "the Legitimate dynasties." The result is, that the
+          legitimate Emperor of Russia backs the crusade on the People
+          of Naples; and the legitimate king of Prussia is as little
+          inclined to let the Prussians have a Constitution, as the
+          Corporation of London find it convenient to return the
+          14,000L. of the Bridge-House money which they borrowed
+          towards paying for the feast. The 'company they kept' and
+          the money they owe in consequence, must be a satisfactory,
+          because the only apology from the metropolis of the most
+          free country in Europe, to the Neapolitans, for not
+          assisting them in defending their national Independence, and
+          their new-born Liberty, against the combined attack of "the
+          Legitimate dynasties."
+
+{145}
+
+     _That_ thing's a Tyrant!--and that _People Fools_,
+     _Who basely bend to be that Tyrant's tools!_
+     Examine then the early course of things,
+     And search the ancient roll of Tyrant Kings,
+     When the first man usurp'd upon his kind,
+     Assumed exotick right, assuming reigned;
+     Supreme in wickedness, more wicked grew;
+     First _forced_ a homage, then decreed it _due_.
+
+     Trace the first Tyrants to their fancied thrones,
+     Placed in that heaven that all their crimes disowns:--
+     If in the Royal lists some monsters reign'd,
+     Abborr'd by heaven, and hated by mankind,
+     By lust and blood exalted to a throne,
+     For all the exquisites of Tyrant known,
+     The meaner name of monarch they despise,
+     Alive, usurp the throne, and dead, the skies;
+     Above the clouds th' incarnate devil stands,
+     And nations worship with polluted hands!
+     Old Saturn, Bacchus, and high-thundering Jove,
+     And all the rabble of the Gods above,
+     Whose names for their immortal crimes are fear'd,
+     Monarchs and Tyrant-princes first appear'd;
+
+{146}
+
+     By rapes and blood the path to greatness stain'd,
+     By rapes and blood the glittering station gain'd;
+     Succeeding knaves succeeding Gods became,
+     And sin aspired to an immortal name!
+     The mighty wretches dwell among the stars,
+     And vice in virtue's glorious robes appears;
+     And Poets celebrate their praises there,
+     As Indians worship Devils that they fear!
+     Yet let us look around the world awhile,
+     And find a Patron-God for Albion's Isle;
+     Has she so many Tyrants borne in vain?
+     Has she no Star in the celestial train?
+     Heaven knows, the difficulty only lies,
+     In who's the fittest monster for the skies!--
+     Satire, reflect with care, due caution give,
+     Some -------- are dead, beware of those that live.
+     If thou too near the present age begin,
+     Truth will be crime, and courage will be sin!
+
+     Look back two ages, see where shines on high
+     Great James, the modern Bacchus of the sky;
+     But give him time before his ghost appear,
+     Lest his uneasy fame bewray his fear:
+     Alive, the patron of the tim'rous race,
+     Fear in his head, and frenzy in his face;
+     His constellation, were it felt beneath,
+     Would make men strive to die--for fear of death!
+     His exaltation with his crimes begin,
+     See how we worship in his _House of Sin_,
+     Aloft--we view the Bacchanalian King;
+     Below--the sacred anthems daily sing;
+     His vast excess the pencil's art displays,
+     And triumphs in the clouds above our praise:
+
+{147}
+
+     What can, with equal force, devotion move,
+     We pray below, and He's debauch'd above!*
+     Look lower down the galaxy and see,
+     In yon crown'd Goat another Deity;
+     His orgied reel and lecherous leer outvie
+     The old Priapian glory of the sky;
+     His furious lusts the other Gods deface
+     And spread his viler image through the place;
+     On obscene altars blaze unholy fires
+     To him, the God of all unchaste desires! **
+
+          * The Banqnetling House at Whitehall is now the Chapel
+          Royal, where sermons are preached and Divine service is sung
+          by the choir of the king's household. On the floor, are the
+          pews for the congregation, the pulpits of the clergy, the
+          altar with the sacramental vessels, and the other
+          arrangements for sacred wor-ship. On the ceiling, the
+          apotheosis of King James the First, painted by Rubens,
+          represents the king in different situations crowned with the
+          triumphs of drunkenness.
+
+          James the First held the highest notions concerning Divine
+          Right. He had a mighty desire to be a great tyrant, but was
+          merely a great driveller. He said on a certain occasion that
+          "_there is an implicit tie among kings, which obligeth them,
+          though there be no other interest or particular engagement,
+          to stick to, and right one another, upon an insurrection of
+          subjects._"--How-ell's Letters, B. 1. Sec.. 2.  Letter iii.
+
+          This obligation among kings _to right one another_, flows
+          from their 'Right Divine to govern wrong!' The _implicit
+          tie_ to suffo-cate liberty, wherever it appears, is co-eval
+          with tyranny--but it was never _openly_ avowed until the
+          present concert of kings. The Holy Alliance is--Despotism
+          shewing itself.
+
+          ** It was for this king, Charles II., that the phrase, "our
+          Religious king," was invented by the Bishops.
+
+             If such Vicegerents are by Heaven appointed,
+             The Devil himself may be the Lord s anointed!

+
+     We turn disgusted from the contemplation
+     Nor seek more royal samples of our nation;
+     But leave Posterity to find the place
+     Of other heroes, of another race.
+
+     Europe, thy thrones have many a name in store,
+     As bright in guilt as any crown'd before;
+     Who, turn'd to Gods, shall shine in Poets' rhymes,
+     And faithful Hist'ry shall record their crimes.
+
+     The first _Paternal_ ruler of mankind
+     That e'er by primogenial title reign'd,
+     In dignity of government was high
+     But all his kingdom was his family.
+
+     His subjects--were his household and his wife;
+     His power--to regulate their way of life;
+     His sway--extended not beyond his gate;
+     That was the limit--of his regal state;
+     And every son might from his rule divide,
+     Be King himself, and by himself preside;
+     And when he died, the government went on
+     In natural succession to his son.
+
+     Next Families of mutual love and unity
+     Together join'd for friendship and _community_;
+     Form'd Laws, and _then_ the natural order was
+     To trust some man to execute the Laws.
+
+     Hence him they best could trust, they trusted--chose;
+     And thus a _Nation_ and a chief arose,
+     Both constituted by a mutual trust;
+     The people honest and the ruler just. *
+
+          * No hereditary king ever reigned in the world, but to
+          govern by laws and constitutions which were established
+          _before_ he came to be king.--Coke's Detection, vol. i. p.
+          13.
+
+{149}
+
+     'Tis plain, when man came from his Maker's hand,
+     He left him free, and at his own command;
+     Gave him the light of nature to direct,
+     And reason, * nature's errors to inspect;
+     No rules of Government were e'er set down,
+     Nature was furnish'd to direct her own;
+     The high unerring light of Providence,
+     Left that to latent cause and consequence.
+
+          * Reason is the image of God stamped upon man at his birth,
+          the understanding breathed into him with the breath of life,
+          and iu the participation of which alone he is raised above
+          the brute creation, and his own physical nature!--Reason is
+          the queen of the moral world, the soul of the universe, the
+          lamp of human life, the pillar of society, the foundation of
+          law, the bea-con of nations, the golden chain let down from
+          heaven, which links all animated and all intelligent natures
+          in one common system--and, in the vain strife between
+          fanatic iuuovation and fauatic prejudice, we are exhorted to
+          dethrone this queen of the world, to blot out this light of
+          the mind, to deface this fair co-lumn, to break in pieces
+          this golden chaiu!--Hazlitt's Political Essays, p. 57.
+
+     Society to regulation tends,
+     As naturally as means pursue their ends;
+     The wit of man could never yet invent,
+     A way of life without a government;
+     And government has always been begun,
+     In those who, to be govern'd, gave the crown.
+
+     He that would other schemes of rule contrive
+     And search for powers the people could not give,
+     Must seek a spring which can those powers convey,
+     And seek a People too that will obey.
+
+     At length paternal rule was less complete,
+     And as mankind increas'd became unfit;
+     The petty Lords grow quarrelsome and proud,
+     And plunge their little governments in blood.
+
+{150}
+
+     The factious rivals on pretence of _right,_
+     Urge on the people to contend and fight;
+     Invaded weakness to brute force submits,
+     Oppression rages, honesty retreats,
+     Justice gives way to power, and power prevails,
+     And universal slavery entails.
+
+     Thus broils arose, and thus the ends of life
+     Are miss'd in Wars and undecided strife!
+     Scotland, till late, exemplified the plan,
+     In many a feud, in many a Highland clan.
+
+     The Chief with whoop and whistling trumpet shrill,
+     Summons his slaves from ev'ry neighb'ring hill;
+     Tells them, his foeman's bull has stol'n his cow,
+     And dire revenge th' obedient vassals vow;
+     With mighty targe, and basket-hilted knife,
+     Battle and blood decide the petty strife;
+     The namelings fight, because the lord commands,
+     And wild confusion rules th' ungovern'd lands!
+
+     The _hunter-tribes_, at first, wild beasts pursued,
+     And then to chase mankind they left the wood;
+     Became Banditti, Captains, Chieftains, Kings,
+     And Tyrants, by the natural course of things!
+
+     As he that ravaged most could rule the best,
+     So he grown King that first subdued the rest,
+     By fraud and force his _guilty power_ maintains,
+     Wheedles mankind to please themselves with chains,
+     With selfish Kingcraft calls it Right Divine,*
+     And subtle Priestcraft sanctifies his _line_.
+
+     *Priestcraft n. s. [priest and craft.] Religious frauds;
+     management of wicked priests to gain power.--Johnson.

+
+     "Kings are as Gods."--Indeed!--why then they must
+     Like God be _sacred_,--but like God _be just_.
+
+     If in a King a vicious lust prevails,
+     The people see it, and the Godship fails. *
+
+          * The time has been when rulers have actually claimed the
+          title of _God's vicegerents,_ and have been literally
+          worshipped as gods by the servile crew of courtiers;--men
+          gradually bowed down by despotism from the erect port of
+          native dignity, and driven, by fear, to crouch under the
+          most degrading of all superstition, the political idolatry
+          of a base fellovv-creature.--After all the lan-guage of
+          court adulation, the praises of poets and oiators, the
+          statues and monuments erected to their fame, the malignant
+          consequences of their actions prove them to have been no
+          other than conspirators against the improvement and happi-
+          ness of the human race. What were their means of conduct-ing
+          their governments, of exercising this office of Heaven's
+          vicegerents? Crafty, dishonest arts, oppression, extortion,
+          and, above all,  fire and sword. They dared to ape the
+          thunder and lightning of Heaven, and, assisted by the
+          machinations of the grand adversary of man, rendered their
+          imitative contrivances for destruction more terrible and
+          deadly than the original. Their imperial robe derived its
+          deep crimson colour from human blood; and the gold and
+          diamonds of their diadems were accumulated treasures wrung
+          from the famished bowels of the poor, born only to toil for
+          others, to be robbed, to be wounded, to be trodden under
+          foot, and forgotten in an early grave. How few, in com-
+          parison, have reached the age of three score and ten, and
+          yet, in the midst of youth and health, their days lifive
+          been full of labour and sorrow. Heaven's vicegerents seldom
+          bestowed a thought npon them, except when it was necessary
+          either to inveigle or to force them to take the sword and
+          march to slaughter. Where God caused the sun to shine gaily,
+          and scattered plenty over the land, his vicegerents diffused
+          famine and solitude. The valley, which laughed with corn,
+          they watered with the tear of artificial hunger and distress
+        ; the plain that was bright with verdure, and gay with
+          flowerets, they dyed red with gore. They operated on the
+          world as the blast of an east wind, as a pestilence, as a
+          deluge, as a conflagration.--It is an incontrovertible
+          axiom, that all who are born into tlie world, have a right
+          to be as happy in it as the un-avoidable evils of nature,
+          and their own disordered passions will allow. The gtand
+          object of all good government, of all govern-ment that is
+          not an usurpation, must be to promote this happi-ness, to
+          assist every individual in its attainment and security. A
+          government chiefly anxious about the emoluments of office,
+          chiefly employed in augmenting its own power, and
+          aggrandizing its obsequious instruments, while it neglects
+          the comfort and safety of individuals in middle or low life,
+          is despotic and a nui-sance. It is founded on folly as well
+          as wickedness, and, like the freaks of insanity, deals
+          mischief and misery around, without be-ing able to ascertain
+          or limit its extent and duration. If it should not be
+          punished as criminal, let it be cosrced as dangerous. --
+          Spirit of Despotism, p. 90.
+
+     The greatest curses any age have known
+     Have issued from the temple, or the throne;
+     Extent of ill from kings at first begins,
+     But priests must aid, and consecrate their sins.
+
+          The tortured subject might be heard complain,
+          When sinking nnder a new weight of chain,
+          Or more rebellious, might perhaps repine,
+          When tax'd to dow'r a titled concubine,
+          But the priest christens all a _Right Divine! _
+          _Hor. Walpole's Epistle from Florence._

+
+     Talks he of 'sacred' _then_,--the man's a fool;
+     His high pretence a joke and ridicule;
+     Abandon'd to his crimes he soon will find
+     Himself abandon'd too, by all mankind;
+     With th' Assyrian Monarch turn'd to grass,
+     As much a Tyrant, and as much an ass!
+
+{153}
+
+     Externals take from _Majesty_, the rest
+     Is but--a thing at which we laugh--_a jest!_
+     Let us to Scripture History appeal,
+     And see what truths its ancient rolls reveal:--
+     That great authority which Tyrants boast,
+     As most confirming, will confound them most!
+     When Israel with unheard of murmurs first,
+     Pray'd to indulgent Heaven they might be curst,
+     Rejected God, scorn'd his Almighty rule,
+     And made themselves their children's ridicule,
+     A standing banter, future ages' jest,
+     As damn'd to slavery at their own request--
+     With what just arguments did Samuel plead,
+     Give them the Tyrant's character to read;
+     Explain the lust of an ungovern'd man,
+     Show them the danger, preach to them in vain;
+     Tell them the wretched things they'd quickly find,
+     Within the pleasing name of King combined;
+     Deign with their'wilder'd crowds t' expostulate,
+     And open all the dangers of their fate!--
+     Yet they sought ruin with unwearied pains,
+     And begg'd for fetters, slavery, and chains!
+
+     But, it's replied, heaven heard its suppliant's prayer,
+     Itself chose out the King, and plac'd him there;
+     Disown'd the People's right, and fix'd their choice
+     In providence, and not the people's voice;
+     From whence the claim of right by regal line,
+     Made Israel's Kings be Kings by Right Divine.
+
+     Yes, Saul was King by God's immediate hand--
+     But' _twas in judgment to afflict the land!_
+     In granting He corrected the request,
+     A king He gave them, but _withheld the rest;_
+
+{154}
+
+     Gave all that they pretended to require,
+     But in the gift he punish'd the desire;
+     He gave a plague, the very selfsame thing
+     They ask'd, when they petition'd for a King!
+
+     For 'tis remarkable when Samuel saw,
+     They'd have a King in spite of sense or law,
+     He told the consequences to the land,
+     And all the mischiefs that the Word contain'd;
+     Told them, that Kings were instruments design'd,
+     Not to improve, but to correct mankind!
+
+     Told them the Tyrant would insult their peace,
+     And plunder them of all their happiness!
+
+     Told them, that Kings were but exalted thieves,
+     Would rob men first, and then would make them slaves!
+
+     Then drew the picture of a monster crown'd,
+     Ask'd them, if  such a villain could be found, *
+     Whether they'd like him, and their tribute bring?
+     They answer, Yes:--let such a man be King!
+
+          * It is remarkable, that a king scarcely ever exercised
+          tyran-nical power over the people, but it was mingled with
+          ungoverned vice in himself. Men of virtue and moderation
+          seldom, if ever, turn tyrants. Despotic rule gives the reins
+          to lust, and makes the errors of government, and the crimes
+          of life, mix together. It is the high road to cruelty and
+          brutalizing selfishness.--A king of France took out his
+          watch when he guessed that the axe was cutting off the head
+          of his favorite, and said; 'My dear friend must make a sad
+          figure just now!'--A hill in Richmond Park is still shewn as
+          remarkable for having been the station from whence Henry
+          VIII. eagerly looked out for the ascent of a rocket at
+          London, announcing to the impatient tyrant the precise
+          moment when one of his wives was suffering death on the
+          scaffold!
+
+     And is a Tyrant King your early choice?
+     "_Be Kings your plague!_"   said the Eternal's voice;
+     And with this mighty curse he gave the crown,
+     And Saul, to Israel's terror, mounts the throne!
+     Now, Muse, the parallel with caution bring,
+     On what condition was this man their King?
+
+{155}
+
+     Tho' Heaven declar'd him, heaven itself set down
+     The sacred _Postulata_ of the crown;
+     Samuel examin'd first the high record,
+     Then dedicates the substance to the Lord.
+
+     This is the _coronation-oath_, the bond,
+     The steps on which the throne and kingdom stand;
+     For which, by future Kings unjustly broke,
+     God, and the People, mighty vengeance took! *
+
+          * Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and
+          wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. (1
+          Samuel, x. 25.) It is plain, the word manner signifies the
+          constitution of the government, or the conditiom on which
+          Saul was to be king, namely, according to justice and law;
+          and this is meant in frequent expressions, by going in and
+          out before them, referring to justice being executed in the
+          gates, and peace and war; the king was to lead them in one,
+          and direct in the other. This manner of the kingdom was told
+          to all the people, and that implied, that the consent of the
+          people was requisite to make him king, without which, though
+          Samuel had anointed him, he was not owned by the Israelites,
+          bnt went about his private affairs till after the victory
+          over the Ammonites. Then the manner of the kingdom was
+          written in a book--a token of its being a compact between
+          Saul and the people; and Samuel's laying it up before the
+          Lord, is equivalent to an oath recorded on both sides; for
+          it was there as a witness between the king and the people,
+          and served both as their oath of allegiance, and his oath of
+          government.--All this being done, what followed? All the
+          people went to Gilgal, and there they (mark the word) made
+          Saul king.--(l Samuel,i. 15.)
+
+{156}
+
+     Then mark the needful steps to make him King,
+     How sacred ends, concurring means must bring;
+     Not Samuel's ointment, not the mighty lot,
+     Could make him King, nor force his title out.
+
+     The people like not his mechanic race,
+     They see no greatness in his youthful face:--
+     "Is this the monarch shall our foes destroy,
+     Does heaven design to rule us by a _boy_?"
+
+     The flouting Rabbies cry! "We scorn to own,
+     A man that has no merit for a crown.
+     Our King must lead the glorious tribes to fight,
+     And chase the thousands of the Ammonite:
+     His pers'nal valour must our triumphs bring,
+     'Tis such a man we want, and such a King."
+
+     Away they go, reject his government,
+     Not Heav'n's high choice could force their due consent!
+     Samuel submits, adjourns the strong debate,
+     Suspends the King he offered to create;
+     Owns _their dislike's a high material thing,
+     That their Consent alone could make him King!_
+
+     Why did not God displeasure then express,
+     Resent the slight, and punish their excess;
+     Extort obedience by express command,
+     And crown his choice by his immediate hand;
+     Destroy the Rebels with his blasting breath,
+     And punish early treason with their death;
+     With mighty thunders his new King proclaim,
+     And force the trembling tribes to do the same?
+
+     Because He knew it was the course of things,
+     And _Nature's law_, that men should _choose_ their Kings;
+     He knew the early dictate was his own,
+     That reason acted from himself alone.*
+
+          * It is alledged, that the vulgar are not capable of judging
+          coucerning principles of government; I answer, they are
+          then not capable of beiug guilty of transgression; for where
+          there is a want of capacity of judgment, there can be no
+          sin. This is a dangerous argument, my Lords, and exposes
+          government to the violence of every one who can overturn it
+          with impunity. You have no defence against any person in
+          this case who is resolute, except superior strength; for
+          the gallows will not frighten a man who is not conscious of
+          guilt, if he has any degree of natural fortitude. Try to
+          persuade the vulgar that there is any case in which they
+          cannot sin, and you will soon perceive what opera-tion it
+          will have upon them. But when you tell them they are not
+          judges of your manouvres of state, they will soon tell you
+          that they cannot transgress what they do not understand and
+          that you require of them more than the Deity requires of
+          them, or even supposes; for he requires no duty without
+          first allowing men to judge of his laws, and makes no laws
+          beyond the reach of their understandings.

+     "'Tis just," says the Almighty Power, "and sense,"
+     (For _actions are the words of Providence_;

+
+     Merit will make my choice appear so just,

+
+     Let Ammon's troops my people's tents invade,

+     Fly from th' advancing legions in the fright,
+     Till Jabesh' walls embrace the Ammonite;
+     I'll spirit Saul, and arm his soul for war,
+     The boy they scorn, shall in the field appear;
+     I'll teach the inexperienced youth to light,
+     And flesh him with the slaughter'd Ammonite.
+
+     The general suffrage then lie'll justly have
+     To rule the people he knows how to save;
+     Their willing voices all the tribes will bring,
+     And make my chosen hero be their King."
+
+     He speaks, and all the high events obey,
+     The mighty voice of Nature leads the way;
+     The troops of Ammon Israel's tents invade,
+     His mighty fighting sons, to fear betray'd,
+     Fly from th' advancing squadrons in the fright,
+     'Till Jabesh' walls embrace the Ammonite.
+
+     Saul rouzes; God had arm'd his soul for war;
+     The boy they scored does in the field appear;
+     His pers'nal merit now bespeaks the throne,
+     He beats the enemy, and wears his crown.
+
+     The willing tribes their purchased suffrage bring,
+     Their universal voice proclaims him King.
+
+     As if Heaven's call had been before in vain,
+     Saul from this proper minute, dates his reign.

+     The text is plain, and proper to the thing,

+
+     The King is ours
+     T' administer, to guard, t' adorn the State,
+     But not to warp or change it.
+
+     Mark now the difference, ye that boast your love
+     Of kings, between your Loyalty and ours
+     Our love is principle, and has its root
+     In reason; is judicious, manly, free:

+
+     Were I permitted to inspect the rolls,
+     Th' eternal archives, hid beyond the poles;
+     The cause of causes could I but survey,
+     And see how consequences there obey:
+     This should be first of all that I'd enquire,
+     And this to know, the bounds of my desire--
+     Why Justice reels beneath the blows of might,
+     And Usurpation sets her foot on right;
+     Why fame bestows her ill-deserv'd applause,
+     When outrage, triumphs over nature's laws;
+
+{160}
+
+     Why heaven permits the worst of men to rule,
+     And binds the wise man to obey the fool; *
+     Why its own thunder does not strike the crown,
+     And from the stools of pow'r thrust Tyrant? down;
+     Why it pursues the murd'rer's meaner crime,
+     But leaves exalted criminals to time.
+
+          * It is difficult to avoid laughing at the _extreme
+          ignorance of crowned heads_ themselves, in despotic
+          countries, wheu one contrasts it with the importance they
+          assume, and the pomp and splendour with which they transfer
+          their royal persons from place to place. The sight is truly
+          ludicrous. Are these the men, _occupied, as they usually
+          are, in the meanest trifles and the most degrading
+          pleasures,_ who tell us that the governmen over which they
+          preside, is a perfect system, and that the wisest
+          philosopher knows not how to govern mankind; that is, to
+          consult their happiness and security, so well as themselves,
+          neglected as they have been in youth, and corrupted in
+          manhood by panders to their vices, and flatterers of their
+          foibles, their pride, and their ambition? There is reason
+          to believe that _many kings in despotic kingdoms, have been
+          worse educated, and possess less abilities, than a common
+          charity-boy, trained in a parish school to read and write._
+          Spirit of Despotism. An Anecdote, containing the thoughts of
+          a Despot is a treat. It appears from the Emperor of Austria
+          heading the Holy Alliance against Naples with our money in
+          his pockets, as well as from a letter dated Laybach, 28th
+          January, 1821, that his Majesty has the _horrors._ The
+          letter states, that when the Professors of the Lyceum at
+          Laybach were presented to him, he made this nervous speech
+        :--"Gentlemen--The students of Carniola have always deserved
+          praise, (from which their progress in useful knowledge may
+          be inferred). Endeavour to preserve for them this good
+          character, (modern Boeotians). Remain ever faithful to what
+          is ancient, (Tyranny); for what is ancient is good, (he
+          means for himself); and onr ancestors (his Ancestors) ever
+          found it so. Why should it not be the same to us? (The
+          throne-men). People (tyrant-hater's) are occupied elsewhere
+          (at Naples) with new notions (principles of liberty), that I
+          (heigh Oh!) cannot approve, (cannot help); and never shall
+          approve, (Royal till death). From such notions (political
+          truth) preserve yourselves, (God preserve the Emperor);
+          attach yourselves to nothing bnt what is positive,
+          (Despotism). I do not want learned men (the students at
+          Copenhagen on the king's birth-day, January 2nd, 1821,
+          shouted "Vivat Rex the soldiers, not understanding Loyally
+          in Latin, and, supposing the students uttered seditious
+          cries, dispersed them with their sabres and hilled four:
+          ergo Steel is stronger than Latin). I want only loyal and
+          good subjects, (implicitly obedient slaves); and it is your
+          part to (become drill serjeants, and) form them (into line).
+          He who serves (implicitly obeys), will instruct, (that is--
+          keep the students stupid) according to my orders; and
+          whoever feels himself incapable of that, (non-instruction,)
+          and embraces novel ideas, (knowledge,) had better depart--or
+          I shall myself remove him, (by putting something into his
+          head!). This is a fine and perfect specimen of legitimate
+          mind; and here is another:--At the Museum of Bologna the
+          Professors of the University shewed this same Emperor one or
+          Sir Humphrey Davy's safety lamps, and informed him that the
+          Englishman its inventor, had, by his nnmerous discoveries,
+          produced a revolution in science. At the word revolution
+          the countenance of the Emperor changed; he rumped the
+          attendant, and said, the King of England would no doubt feel
+          the consequences of his condescension to his unruly
+          subjects; but, as to himself, he should take proper care
+          not to suffer any of his subjects to make revo-lutions!--
+          "_What is ancient is good._" Stick to that, Despots! Yonr
+          ancestors,'an please your Majesties, groped without safety
+          lamps --I pray that you may, till you be no more.
+
+{161}
+
+     Kings spurn at limitations, laws, and rules,
+     And rob mankind--because mankind are fools;
+     Wheedled to act against their common sense,
+     To jumble tyranny with providence;
+     To hope from God what God expects from them,
+     For what they ought to do, look up to Him;
+     Leave unperform'd the duties which they know,
+     And _lift up_ hands they should _employ_ below!
+     Christians must no more miracles expect,
+     The men that will be slaves, He'll not protect;
+     God never will our base petitions hear,
+     Till our endeavours supersede our prayer;
+     Not always then; but nation's may be sure,
+     The _willing_ bondage _ever_ shall endure.
+
+     They that would have His power to be their friend,
+     Must, with what power they have, their right defend.
+     The laws of God, God makes us understand,
+     The laws of Nature never countermand.
+
+     Nature prescribes, for'tis prescrib'd to sense,
+     Her first of laws to man--is self-defence.
+
+     This then is Law to man, from God on high,
+     _Resisting_ live--or _unresisting_ die!
+
+     He always works by means, and means he'll bless,
+     With approbation, often with success.
+
+     Nor prayers nor tears will revolutions make,
+     Tyrants pull down, or irksome bondage break;
+     'Tis our own business; and He lets us know,
+     What is our business, he expects we'll do.
+
+          * God punishes bad kings and oppressors, as he does the rest
+          of mankind--through his instruments, The, People. It is the
+          only way by which he has ever made an example of tyrants as
+          a terror to others.
+
+     Tyrants sometimes in Revolutions fall,
+     Though their destruction's not design'd at all;
+     So hasty showers, when they from heav'n flow down,
+     Are sent to fructify, and not to drown;
+     And, in the torrent, if a drunkard sink,
+     'Tis not the flood that drowns him, but the drink,
+     Yet who would say, because a sinner's slain,
+     For fear of drowning, we must have no rain.
+
+{163}
+
+     It's doubtful who live most unnatural lives,
+     The subject that his liberty survives,
+     Or kings that trample law and freedom down,
+     And make free justice truckle to the crown.
+
+     Law is the master-spring of government--
+     The only Right Ditine that heaven has sent, *
+     It forms the order of the world below,
+     And all our blessings from that order flow.
+
+          * The tyrant Henry VIII., by making himself the head of the
+          Church, clearly begat the Right Divine. The King could give
+          bishoprics, and the Bishops could give opinions. "Your
+          Majesty is the breath of our nostrils," said Bishop Neil to
+          James I., and speaking of himself and brethren as to worldly
+          advantages, he certainly spoke the truth. Before the Kings
+          of England were heads of the Church we heard little of
+          divine right, and some-times the Church itself was seen on
+          the side of freedom; since that time, never. The doctrine
+          in England, that the King can do no wrong, supposes the
+          positive responsibility of his Minis-ters. But, that it is a
+          dangerous licence of language, is wit-nessed iu a Right
+          Reverend exposition of this kingly privi-lege in regard to
+          Adultery. The Bishop leaped from political to moral
+          delinquency, with a casuistry worthy an admirer of the royal
+          power of translation. The Abbe de Choisy, a Priest of the
+          same school as the British Father in God, though not of the
+          same church, dedicated an edition of Thomas a Kempis, on the
+          'Imitation of Christ' to Madame de Maintenon, a courtesan
+          and mistress to Louis XIV., prefixing this motto: "Hear oh!
+          daugh-ter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also
+          thine own people, and thy father's honse; _so shall the
+          King greatly desire thy beauty!_" Psa. xlv. 10,11.
+
+          The Court's a golden but a fatal circle,
+          Upon whose magic skirts a thousand devils
+          In crystal forms, sit tempting innocence,
+          And beckon early virtue from its ceutre.
+          Anon, quoted by Dr. Watts.
+
+{164}
+
+     Law is the life-blood of the social state;
+     Subordinate to law is magistrate,
+     To set the magistrate above the law,
+     Would all to error and confusion draw,
+     He's not a king that's not prescribed by laws--
+     King's, the effect, but government's the cause
+     Of all authority for Right Divine,
+     Custom's the worst, for every royal line.
+
+     The still-born Ignorance of antiquity,
+     Quirk'd into life to cozen freemen by,
+     Lawyers call Custom; and, for custom, draw
+     On custom still, to still call custom, _Law!_
+
+     So  'rules' the _Bench_, and so the maxim takes,
+     The fault one age commits, no age forsakes!
+
+     Begot by fools, maintain'd by knaves and fools,
+     Improved by craft in error's public schools;
+     With shifting face, with loose and stammering tongue,
+     The juggling fraud has plagued the world too long;
+     Modern encroachments on our freedom makes,
+     And backs it with our fathers' old mistakes:
+     As if our rev'rence, to their virtues due,
+     Should recommend their crimes and follies too!
+
+     This vapour Custom, this mere wand'ring cloud
+     Puffs the crown'd wretch, and helps to make him proud.
+     Persuades him to believe it must be true,
+     Homage to Law, becomes the _Tyrant's_ due!
+
+{165}
+
+     Thus Priestcraft preaches, and thus Lawyers draw
+     An after age, to call a custom--Law!
+
+     And yet this boasted, ever-quoted thing,
+     Fails in the point--fails to support the king:
+     For though by custom, kings have learn'd to ride
+     A few vile minions, to support their pride,
+     The people always have opposed the cheat,
+     It never was their custom to submit;
+     The Practice of the people made the name,
+     For practices and customs are the same;
+     And custom this one mighty truth will tell,
+     When kings grow tyrants, nations will rebel.
+
+     The people may, for custom gives assent,
+     Dethrone the man, to save the Government!
+     If any say the practice is not so,
+     Let them to England for examples go.
+
+     England the Right Divine of kings profess'd *
+     And all the marks of slavery caress'd;
+     Long courted chains, but'twas in court disguise,
+     And holy fraud conceal'd the sacred lies--
+
+          * Sir Robert Filmer, the great champion of Divine Right
+          having defended it in print, Algernon Sidney drew out a
+          system of original power, and government according to the
+          laws of God, nature, and reason. Before it was finished, the
+          friends of Divine Right seized the manuscript, and finding
+          Sidney's arguments un-answerable, they laid aside the work,
+          and fell upon the man; --so they cut off his head, merely
+          because they could not an-swer his book.
+
+     The Church the mountebank, the King the jest,
+     The _wheedled monarch_, and the _wheedling priest!_
+     James proved the patient, crouching, loyal tribe,
+     But let his fate their loyalty describe!
+
+{166}
+
+     With life-and-fortune, churchmen back'd the crown, *
+     In crushing all men's freedom but their own.
+
+          * A Courtier's loyalty is charmingly pictured in the
+          portrait of Bubb Doddington, drawn by himself in his
+          celebrated Diary. He was by trade a Boroughmonger, and his
+          stock, consisted of six Members in the House of Commons,
+          which he jobbed about and sold to the best bidder. At the
+          close of his bargain and sale of the whole in a lump to the
+          Duke of Newcastle for the king's service, there is a finish
+          which renders the painting a fiue and matchless Cabinet
+          specimen.--Bubb, who had been in disgrace at court for
+          selling them elsewhere, said to tlie duke, "I knew I had
+          given no just cause of offence, but that I could not justify
+          it with His Majesty; that it was enough that He (the king)
+          was displeased, to make me think that I was in the wrong,
+          and to beg Him to forget it: I would not even be in the
+          right against HIM!" The duke was delighted with this loyal
+          and dutiful submission. Bubb says, "He took me up in his
+          arms, and kissed me twice!" and Bubb was rewarded for
+          laying his six members of the honorable house at the foot of
+          the throne with the price he stipulated for--namely, the
+          treasurership of the navy, and a peerage! The story was
+          beautifully and most impressively related by the excellent-
+          hearted and inflexible John Hunt, in his noble and
+          successful defence, on the trial of an ex officio
+          information for words in the Examiner charged not as false,
+          but as libellous on the Honorable House.
+
+     Then, under colour or pretence of law,
+     Villains their victims to the shambles draw,
+     Where sat the scoundrel Chief in ermined pride,
+     And a pack'd jury in the box beside.
+
+     The farce commences--justice heaves a groan--
+     The case is clear--a verdict for the Crown!
+
+     When noble Russell and brave Sidney fell,
+     Judges themselves rung, out Law's funeral knell!
+
+{167}
+
+     Yet when their own destruction they foresaw,
+     The passive knaves cried Liberty and Law!
+
+     Took from their best of Kings his Right Divine,
+     And abrogated fealty to the line;
+     They made a precedent, dropp'd T from TReason,
+     And found the best of words behind it--reason!
+
+     The crown's a symbol, that the people meant,
+     To mark their choice, or form of government; *
+     The crown is theirs, and this has been their plan,
+     To make the office sacred, not the man:
+     Hence, if a tyrant on the throne appears,
+     The place is vacant, and the crown is theirs.
+
+          * All Majesty is derived from Law founded on right reason. A
+          strength beyond that is mere force. The Magistrate formerly
+          had no Majesty but while engaged in magisterial duties. His
+          real dignity consisting in his legal authority.
+
+          When the ancient parliaments of France met according to the
+          constitution annually, the king went to meet the members
+          seated in a waggon drawn by oxen, which a waggoner drove
+          with his goad to the parliament house; but he was in no
+          state until he was seated there, robed and crowned, and
+          sceptred. And, in-deed, in that place only, where the great
+          affairs of the Com-monwealth are transacted, can it be said,
+          that Real Majesty does truly and properly reside; and not
+          where the king plays, or dances, or prattles with his women,
+          when the vulgar are always styling him, your Majesty.
+
+          Hotomun's Franco-gallia, p. 73.
+
+     David, the patient tribes too much opprest,
+     Vex'd them with tribute, and deny'd them rest;
+     Harass'd the land with imposts and alarms,
+     Taxing and fighting--money! and to arms!
+
+{168}
+
+     His son, however wise, disturbed their peace,
+     With taxes for his sumptuous palaces;
+     His love of women and his garish state,
+     His love of pomp and show, and looking great;
+     His building projects, and his vast designs,
+     Too vast for all the gold of Ophir's mines,
+     The people's hearts dismay'd, their feelings pain'd,
+     Their love unsettled, and their treasures drain'd. *
+
+          * Solomon could have but two occasions for money; one for
+          his costly buildings, the other for his numerous women, for
+          he never had any wars. To the expense of his buildings the
+          kings of other countries contributed largely; so that it
+          must have beeu his excesses in women, and other luxurious
+          indulgences, that caused him to oppress the people with
+          heavy burdens of taxes.
+
+     By two such' vigorous monarchs long opprest,
+     The next that came they loyally addrest;
+     Implored his gracious majesty would please
+     To tax them less, and let them live in peace.
+
+     The son of Solomon with anger hears
+     The people dare to offer him their pray'rs,
+     Spurns their Address, his rage no bounds restrain,
+     And thus he gives his answer with disdain:--
+
+     "I bear from Heaven the ensigns of my sway,
+     My business is to rule, and your's obey:
+     Therefore your scandalous Address withdraw,
+     'Tis my command, and my command's your law:
+     Sedition grows from seeds of discontent,
+     And faction always snarls at government:
+     But since my throne from God alone I hold,
+     To Him alone my councils I unfold;
+     My resolutions he has made your laws,
+     You are to know my actions, He the cause!
+
+{169}
+
+     Wherefore I stoop, to let you understand,
+     I double all the taxes of the land.
+
+     And if your discontents and feuds remain,
+     Petition--and I'll double them again!
+
+     The mild correction which my Father gave,
+     Has spoil'd the people he design'd to save;
+     You murmur'd then, but had you thus been used,
+     You'd ne'er his easy clemency abused!"
+
+     The injured people, treated with disdain,
+     Found their Petitions and Addresses vain!
+
+     Long had they made submissions to the crown,
+     And long the love of Liberty had known;
+     The kings they ask'd of God had let them see,
+     What God himself foretold of tyranny.
+
+     The father had exhausted all their stores,
+     With costlyhouses, and more costly whores;
+     But doubly robb'd by his encroaching son,
+     They rather chose to die, than be undone;
+     And, thus resolving, by a single stroke,
+     Ten tribes revolted, and their bondage broke!
+
+     The tyrant, in his sceptred bloated pride,
+     Believing God and blood upon his side;
+     To the high altar in a rage repairs,
+     And rather tells his tale, than makes his prayers: *
+
+          * The author has taken a poetical licence here. For
+          scripture does not say that Rehoboam prayed to the Lord.
+
+     "Behold!" says he, "the slaves, o'er whom I reign,
+     Have made the pow'r I had from Thee in vain;
+     From thy diviner rule they separate,
+     And make large schisms both in Church and State;
+     My just intentions are, with all my force,
+     To check rebellion in its earliest course;
+     Revenge th' affronts of my insulted throne,
+     And save thy injured honour, and my own;
+     And as thy counsels did my fathers bless,
+     He claims thy help, who does their crown possess!"
+
+{170}
+
+     Listen ye kings, ye people all rejoice,
+     And hear the answer of th' Almighty voice:
+     Tremble, ye tyrants, read the high commands,
+     In sacred writ the sacred sentence stands!
+
+     "_Stir not afoot!_ thy new-rais'd troops disband!"
+     Says the Eternal;--"it is my command!
+
+     I raised thy fathers to the Hebrew throne,
+     I set it up, but you yourselves pull down!
+     For when to them I Israel's sceptre gave,
+     'Twas not my chosen people to enslave.
+
+     My first command no such commission brings,
+     I made no tyrants, though I made you kings;
+     But you my people vilely have opprest,
+     And misapplied the powers which you possest.
+     'Tis Nature's laws the people now direct,
+     When Nature speaks, I never contradict.
+
+     Draw not the sword, thy brethren to destroy,
+     The liberty they have, they may enjoy;
+     I ever purposed, and I yet intend,
+     That what they may enjoy, they may defend;
+     They have deserted from a misused throne,
+     "The thing's from Me"--the crime is all thy own!"*
+
+          * When the ten tribes revolted from Rehoboam, and chose Je-
+          roboam king, there is no doubt they limited him by law; for
+          many years afterwards king Aliab, one of his succcssors,
+          admring a herb-garden near to his own palace, applied to the
+          owner, Naboth, and offered him either a vineyard for it, or
+          the worth of it in money; but Naboth would neither exchange
+          nor sell it, and Ahab returned home so vexed, that he went
+          to bed and would not eat any thing. Naboth having thus
+          displeased the king, the courtiers got up a charge of
+          Blasphemy and Sedition against him by means of false
+          wituesses hired on purpose; he was found guilty and
+          executed, and Ahab got possession of the garden, probably as
+          a forfeiture to the crown. It is clear, therefore, that
+          Ahab's power was restrained by law, for it was not until
+          Nabot was murdered _under the forms of law_, that the king
+          could get the poor man's property. Another thing is very
+          remarkable: as soon as the murder was completed, and the
+          king had got the garden, there was an honest Father in God,
+          who, instead of saying 'the king could do no wrong,' went to
+          his majesty, charged him with the crime, and denounced his
+          downfall, which happened accordingly, through his listening
+          to flattering ecclesiastics, and his fondness for military
+          affairs. If the Bishop of London should desire to preach on
+          this story, he is informed that he may find it in the Bible,
+          1 Kings, xxi.
+
+{171}
+
+     If kings no more be flatter'd and deceived,
+     Nor shun too late, the knaves they have believed;
+     If as 'trustees for uses' they agree
+     To act by limited authority;
+     Subordination will its order keep,
+     Ambition die, and all rebellion sleep.
+
+     The weeping nations shall begin to laugh,
+     The subjects easy, and the rulers safe.
+
+     Plenty and peace embrace just government,
+     The king be pleased, the people be content.
+
+     If any king is hoodwink'd to believe,
+     People will blind obedience to him give;
+     Let him pause long, before he dares to try,
+     They all by practice give their words the lie! *
+
+          * Flattery is a fine picklock of tender ears; especially of
+          those whom fortune hath borne high upon their wings, that
+          submit their dignity and authority to it, by a soothing of
+          themselves. For, indeed, men could never he taken in that
+          abundance with the springes of others' flattery, if they
+          began not there; if they did but remember how much more
+          profitable the bitterness of truth were than all the honey
+          distilling from a whorish voice, which is not praise but
+          poison. But now it is come to that extreme of folly, or
+          rather madness, with some, that he that flatters them mo-
+          destly, or sparingly, is thought to malign them.
+
+          Ben Jonson.
+
+          The ears of kings are so tiugled with a continual uniform
+          ap-probation, that they have scarce any knowledge of true
+          praise. Have they to do with the greatest fool of all their
+          subjects--they have no way to take advantage of him: by the
+          flatterer saying, "It is because he is my king," he thinks
+          he has said enough to imply that he therefore suffered
+          himself to be over-come. This quality stifles and confuses
+          the other true and es-sential qualities which are sunk deep
+          in the kingship.
+
+          Montaigne.
+
+{172}
+
+     Art may by mighty dams keep out the tide,
+     Check the strong current, and its streams divide;
+     Pen up the rising waters, and deny
+     The easy waves to glide in silence by:
+     But if the river is restrain'd too long,
+     It swells in silence to resent the wrong;
+     With fearful force breaks opposition down,
+     And claims its native freedom for its own.
+
+     So Tyranny may govern for a time,
+     Till Nature drowns the tyrants with their crime!

+
+     Search we the long records of ages past,
+     Look back as far as antient rolls will last;
+     Beyond what oldest history relates,
+     While kings had people, people magistrates;
+     Nations, e'er since there has been king or crown,
+     Have pull'd down tyrants to preserve the throne.
+
+     The laws of nature then, as still they do,
+     Taught them, their rights and safety to pursue;
+     That if a king, who should protect, destroys,
+     He forfeits all the sanction he enjoys.
+
+{174}
+
+     There's not a nation ever own'd a crown,
+     But if their kings opprest them, pull'd them down;
+     Concurring Providence has been content,
+     And always blest the action in th' event.
+
+     He that, invested with the robes of power,
+     Thinks'tis his right the people to devour,
+     Will always find some stubborn men remain,
+     That have so little wit, they won't be slain;
+     Who always turn again when they're opprest,
+     And basely spoil the gay tyrannic jest;
+     Tell kings--of Nature, Laws of God, and Right,
+     Take up their arms, and with their tyrants fight.
+
+     When passive thousands fall beneath the sword,
+     And freely die at the imperial word,
+     A stern, unyielding, self-defending few,
+     While they resist, will ravel all the clew;
+     Will all the engines of oppression awe,
+     And trample pow'r beneath the feet of law.
+
+     'Tis always natural for men opprest,
+     Whene'er occasion offers to resist;
+     They're traitors else to truth and common sense,
+     And rebels to the laws of Providence;
+     'Tis not enough to say, they _may_--they _must_;
+     The strong necessity declares it just; *
+     'Tis Heav'n's supreme command to man, and they
+     Are always blest who that command obey.
+
+          * If it be asked, Who shall be judge? it is plain that God
+          has made Nature judge. If a king make a law, destructive of
+          human society and the general good, may it not be resisted
+          and opposed? "No!" exclaim a junta of holy meu, "it is from
+          GOD!" What is _Blasphemy?_
+
+{175}
+
+     So France deposed the Merovingian line,
+     And banish'd Childrick * lost the right divine;
+     So Holy League their sacred Henry ** slew,
+     And call'd a counsel to erect a new;
+     For right divine must still to justice bow,
+     And people first the right to rule bestow:
+
+     So Spain to arbitrary kings inured,
+     Yet arbitrary Favila *** abjured;
+     Denmark four kings deposed, and Poland seven,
+     Swedeland but one-and-twenty, Spain eleven:
+     Russia, Demetrius banish'd from the throne,****
+     And Portugal pull'd young Alphonsus down;
+     Each nation that deserves the name of state,
+     Has set up laws above the magistrate;
+     Hence, when a self-advancing wretch acquires
+     A lawless rule, his government expires.
+
+          * Childeric I. the son of Merovius, for his lasciviousness,
+          was banished by the great men, and one Egidiu?, a Gaul, set
+          up in his stead. Childeiic II. was banished and deposed by
+          his subjects, and king Pepin reigned in his stead; and so
+          ended the Merovingian family.
+
+          ** The League deposed Henry III. and declared him a tyrant,
+          a murderer, and incapable to reign, and held frequent
+          counsels with the pope's legate and the Spaniards about
+          settling the crown, and several proposals were made of
+          settling it, sometimes on the infanta of Spain, at other
+          times on the cardinal of Boubon, the duke de Main, and
+          others.
+
+          ***  Favila, a cruel tyrant, was deposed by the Castilians,
+          who chose judges to administer the government, till they
+          appointed another.
+
+          **** Besides the banishment of Demetrius, the History of
+          Russia furnishes a sickening catalogue of the butchery of
+          her despots by each other. During the debate in the House of
+          Lords on the 19th of February, 1821, Lord Holland, observing
+          on the Crusade of the Holy Alliance of Despots against
+          Naples, said, "That objections to the freedom of political
+          constitutions came but ungracefully from the reigning
+          Emperor of Russia, who ascended a throne reeking with the
+          blood of his own father: and as this member of that holy
+          league, owed his crown to the murder of his father, it
+          brought to his recollection, that since the time of the Czar
+          Peter I. no sovereign had ascended the throne of Russia
+          with-out its being stained with the blood of his immediate
+          predecessor, or some other member of his own family."
+
+{176}
+
+     Explore the past, the steps of monarchs tread,
+     And view the sacred titles of the dead;
+     Look to the early kings of Britain's isle,
+     For _Jus Divinum_ in our _native_ style.
+
+     Conquest, or compacts, form the rights of kings,
+     And both are human, both unsettled things;
+     Both subject to contingencies of fate,
+     And so the godship of them proves a cheat.
+
+     The crowns and thrones the greatest monarchs have,
+     Were either stolen, or the people gave.
+
+     What claim had colonel Cnute, * or captain Suene?
+     What right the roving Saxon, pirate Dane?
+     Hengist, or Horsa, Woden's blood defied,
+     And on their sword, not right divine, relied.
+
+          * The leaders of the invading Saxons and Danes were mere
+          thieves and robbers, pretending to no light but that of the
+          sword. Hengist and Horsa were Saxon leaders, who after
+          conquering Kent, made themselves kings. Woden is famed to be
+          the first great leader of the Goths into Europe, and all
+          their kings affected to be thought of his predatory blood.
+
+{177}
+
+     The Norman Bastard, how divine his call!
+     And where's his heav'nly high original?
+     These naked nations, long a helpless prey,
+     To foreign and domestic tyranny;--
+     Their infant strength unfit to guard their name--
+     Was left exposed to ev'ry robber's claim,
+     An open prey to pirates, and the isle,
+     To wild invaders, grew an early spoil.
+
+     The Romans ravaged long our wealthy coast,
+     And long our plains fed Caesar's num'rous host.
+
+     What birthright raised that rav'nous leader's name?
+     His sword, and not his fam'ly, form'd his claim.
+
+     Where'er the Roman eagles spread their wings,
+     They conquer'd nations, and they pull'd down kings;
+     Caesar in triumph o'er the whole presided,
+     And right of conquest half the world divided.
+
+     For Liberty our sires in arms appear'd,
+     And in its sacred name with courage warr'd;
+     Made the invaders buy their conquest dear,
+     And legions of their bones lie buried here. *
+
+          * The hillocks or barrows still remaining in most parts of
+          Eng-land were the graves of the soldiers. There are four
+          very large ones near Stevenage in Hertfordshire, close to
+          the road. The plains in Wiltshire and Dorsetshire are full
+          of these monuments of the valorous achievements of the
+          Britons iu defence of their liberty.
+
+     When these their work of slaughter had fulfill'd,
+     And seas of British blood bedew'd the field;
+     Shoals of Barbarian Goths, worse thieves than they,
+     From Caledonian Friths, and frozen Tay,
+     O'erspread the fruitful, now abandon'd plains,
+     And led the captured victims in their chains:
+     The weaken'd natives, helpless and distrest,
+     Doom'd to be plunder'd, ravish'd, and oppress'd,
+     Employ new thieves from the rude Northern coast,
+     To rob them of the little not yet lost.
+
+{178}
+
+     The work once done, the workmen, to be paid,
+     Only demand themselves, and all they had!
+     In dreadful strife their freedom to maintain,
+     They fought with fury, but they fought in vain;
+     Yet, like Antaeus, every time they fell,
+     Their veins with rage and indignation swell;
+     Not for continued losses they despair,
+     But for still fiercer battle they prepare;
+     Again their blood the Saxon chariots stains,
+     And heaps of heroes strew th' ensanguin'd plains;
+     Thus, though they leave the world, they keep the field,
+     And thus their lives, but not their freedom yield.
+
+     Three hundred years of bloody contest past,
+     Plunder'd at first, and dispossest at last,
+     The few remains, with freedom still inspir'd,
+     To Western mountains, to resist retired;
+     Their dear abandon'd country thence they view,
+     And thence their thirst of Liberty renew;
+     Offers of peaceful bondage they defy,
+     What's peace to man without his liberty? *
+
+          * The Britons fought one hundred and sixty-three pitched
+          bat-tles. They might well be said to be conquered, for in
+          these prodigious straggles for their liberty they were
+          nearly all slain. They fought as long as there were any men
+          to be raised? but the Saxons swarming continually over from
+          vastly populous countries, the few Britons that remained,
+          took sanctuary in the wes-tern mountains of Wales, and from
+          the crags and cliffs, poor and distrest as they were, they
+          made constant inroads and excursions upon the Saxons; the
+          Saxon Annals are filled with accounts of the renewed
+          warfare. Even the English histories frequently mention the
+          incursions of the Welsh, till, at last, united to England,
+          they seem to be incorporated with the natives of their
+          ancient soil.
+
+{179}
+
+     The conquer'd nation--fell a dear bought prey,
+     And Britain's island, _Saxon_ Lords obey:
+     The shouting troops their victories proclaim,
+     And load their chiefs with royalty and fame:
+     The garland of their triumphs was their crown,
+     Mob set them up, and rabble pull'd them down!
+
+     Fighting was all the merit they could bring,
+     The bloodiest wretch appear'd the bravest King!
+     Nor did his kingship any longer last,
+     Than till by some more powerful rogue displaced.
+     In spoil and blood was fix'd the right divine.
+     And thus commenced the royal Saxon line:--
+
+     That sword that vanquish'd innocence in fight,
+     The sword that crush'd the banish'd Britons' right,
+     At pleasure subdivides the British crown,
+     And forms eight soldier kingdoms out of one.
+
+     From these we strive to date our royal line,
+     And these must help us to a right divine;
+     From actions buried in eternal night,
+     Priestcraft is brought, to fix the fancied right;
+     Priestcraft that, always on the strongest side,
+     Contrives, tho' kings should walk, that priests shall ride.
+
+     One master thief his fellows dispossest,
+     And gave, once more, the weeping nation rest;
+     For Egbert, * English monarchy began,
+     By his Almighty-sword--the Sacred man!
+
+          * Egbert came over originally from France, and was not the
+          successor of any prince of the West Saxon kingdom, nor of
+          any kingdom.
+
+{180}
+
+     Yet who was Egbert? Search his ancient breed;
+     What sacred ancestors did he succeed?
+     What mighty princes form'd his royal line,
+     And handed down to him the right divine?
+
+     A high-Dutch trooper, sent abroad to fight,
+     Whose trade was blood, and in his arm his right:
+     A supernumerary Holsteineer, *
+     For want of room at home, sent out to war;
+     A mere Swiss** mercenary, who for bread,
+     Was born on purpose to be knock'd in head;
+     A Saxon soldier was his high descent,
+     Murder his business, plunder his intent;
+     The poor unvalued, despicable thing,
+     A thief by nation, and by fate a king!
+
+          * The Saxons that came over were from Jutland, Holstein, &c.
+          The poor countries the Saxons lived in, being unable to
+          support the vast numbers of the people they produced, they
+          sought subsistence and habitations in fruitful and plentiful
+          lands.
+
+          **  A Swiss, alludes to their being mercenaries.
+
+     To-day the monarch glories in his crown,
+     A soldier thief to-morrow knocks him down,
+     And calls the fancied right divine his own!
+
+     In the next age that 'rightful' Lord's forgot,
+     And rampant treason triumphs on the spot:
+     Success gives title, makes possession just,
+     For if the fates obey, the subjects must.
+
+     We should be last of all that should pretend,
+     The long descent of princes to defend;
+     Since, if hereditary right's the claim,
+     The English line has forty times been lame;
+     Of all the nations in the world, there's none
+     Have less of true succession in their crown.
+
+{181}
+
+     Britannia now, with men of blood opprest,
+     And all her race of tyrants lately ceased;
+     Ill fate prevailing, seeks at foreign shores,
+     And for worse monsters, ignorantly implores.
+
+     The right divine was so despised a thing,
+     The crown went out a begging for a king
+     Of foreign breed, of unrelated race,
+     Whore in his scutcheon, tyrant in his face j
+     Of spurious birth, and intermingled blood,
+     Who nor our laws nor language understood.
+
+     William the early summons soon obeys,
+     Ambition fills his sails, his fleets the seas;
+     By cruel hopes, and fatal valour sped,
+     The foreign legions Britain's shores o'erspread:
+     The sword decides the claim, the land's the prey,
+     Fated the conquering tyrant to obey.
+
+     Harold by usurpation gain'd the crown, *
+     And ditto usurpation pull'd him down.
+     Nothing but patience then could Britain claim;
+     Oppress'd by suff'ring, suff'ring made her tame:
+     She saw the tyrant William quit the throne,
+     And hoped for better usage from his son;
+     But change of tyrants gave her small relief,
+     She lost the lion, and receiv'd the thief.
+
+          * Harold seized upon the crown by force. He had no claim to
+          it, by blood or inheritance, being the son of Earl Goodwin.
+
+     Rufus, his father's ill got treasure seized,
+     The greedy sons of mother-church appeased;
+     Bought up rebellion with the cash he stole,
+     Secured the Clergy, and seduced the whole.
+
+     So brib'ry first with robbery combined
+     To ride before, and treason rode behind.
+
+{182}
+
+      Ambition, and the lust of rule prevail'd,
+      And Robert's right, on Rufus' head entail'd. *
+
+      Beau-Clerk next grasp'd his elder brother's crown,
+      And, by his sword, maintain'd it was his own:
+      The second ** Henry fights, and fighting treats,
+      To own the prince's title he defeats;
+      Consents to mean conclusions of the war,
+      And stoops to be a base usurper's heir;
+      Accepts the ignominious grant, and shows
+      His right's as bad as Stephen's that bestows:
+      The royal tricksters thus divide the prey,
+      And helpless crowds the jugglers' swords obey. ***
+
+      Then John, ****  another branch of Henry's line,
+      Jumps on the throne, in spite of Right Divine,
+      Turn we to mighty Edward's deathless name;
+      Or to his son's, whose conquests were the same;
+      That mighty hero of right royal race,
+      His father still alive, usurp'd his place. (v)
+
+          * They were both usurpers, for the true right of descent was
+          in Edgar Atheling. of the race of Edmund Ironside.
+
+          ** Henry II. was obliged to compromise the dispute with his
+          competitor Stephen; a prudent agreement, but in defiance of
+          hereditary right.
+
+          *** As at the death of Henry I. the main line of Normandy
+          ended, so the succession has ever since proved so brittle,
+          that it never held to the third heir in a right descent
+          without being put by, or receiving some alteration by
+          usurpation, or extinction of the male blood.--Churchill's
+          Divi Britannici, p. 207.
+
+          **** King John was the youngest son of Henry II., who had
+          his eldest line deposed. Henry was the son of a usurper, a
+          usurper himself, and the murderer of his own brother's son.
+
+          (v) Edward III. reigned, his father, Edward II. being a
+          prisoner, and was afterwards murdered.
+
+{183}
+
+     As Edward on his parent's murder stood,
+     So Richard's tyrant reign was closed in blood:
+     Deposed and murder'd, Edward's father lies;
+     Deposed and murder'd--thus the grandson * dies.
+
+     Lancastrian Henry from his feeble head,
+     The bauble wrench'd, and wore it in his stead;
+     Three of his name by due succession reign,
+     And York demands the right of line in vain.
+
+     Thro' seas of slaughter, for this carnaged crown
+     Edward, not went, but waded to the throne **
+     Three times deposed, three times restored by force,
+     Priest-ridden Henry's title*** yields of course.
+
+     Short lived the right the conquering king enjoy'd,
+     Treason and crime his new-crown'd race destroy'd;
+     As if the crimson hand of Power pursued
+     The very crown, and fated it to blood,
+     Richard by lust of government allured,
+     By double murders, next that crown procured;
+     For silent records trumpet-tongued proclaim
+     The jails and graves of princes are the same.
+
+     At Bosworth field, the crookback was dethroned;
+     Slain in the fight, and then the victor own'd! ****
+
+          * Richard II.
+
+          ** Edward IV.
+
+          *** Henry VI.
+
+          **** Richard III. was succeeded by Henry VII. who had
+          clearly no claim to the crown from blood. After him it still
+          devolved with irregularity, although uuder the Tudors, the
+          doctrine of hereditary right was as vaguely maintained as
+          before. Thus, a Parliament granted to Henry VIII. the power
+          of regulating the succession by will, and it was by
+          pretending to exercise a similar power under an alleged will
+          of Edward VI. that the unprincipled Northumberland sought
+          the establishment of Lady Jane Grey. Elizabeth, on the same
+          ground, was importuned to appoint a suc-cessor, at
+          intervals, during the last twenty years of her reign; and
+          finally, named the King of Scotland in her last moments.
+          These are strange incidents for the advocates of Divine
+          Right! The fact is, this wretched theory was never formally
+          advocated until the days of James I.; and it may be
+          considered to be one of the precions fruits of that settled
+          connexion between Church and State, of which the Despot,
+          Henry VIII., laid the foun-dation. Yet no Despot ever
+          supported himself steadily on an English throne; and what is
+          there to prove, that such men ever can? Look at King
+          Richard II., he was a finished gentle-man, possessed some
+          taste for literature, and shewed himself as. fond of finery
+          as need be; but he waged war with the common sense of the
+          realm and the rights of the people,--and finally, by
+          entrusting his power to weak, inefficient, and corrupt
+          ministers, roused the anger of a distressed and overtaxed
+          community. Moral--They were beheaded, and he was dethroned.
+
+{184}
+
+     So men of blood, incited by its taste,
+     By lust of rule urged on, laid England waste;
+     Oppression then upon oppression grew,
+     One royal wretch another overthrew;
+     They made a football of the People's crown,
+     And brother-tyrant brother-king pull'd down,
+     Succeeding robberies revenged the past,
+     And every age of crime outdid the last.
+
+     Look on once more--the tangled line survey,
+     By which kings claim to bind men to obey.
+
+     In the right line they say their title lies:
+     But if its twisted?--then the title dies.
+     Look at it!--knotted, spliced in every place!
+     Closely survey the intersected race--
+     So full of violations, such a brood.
+
+     Of false successions, spurious births, and blood;
+     Such perjuries, such frauds, to mount a throne,
+     That Kings might blush their ancestors to own!
+
+{185}
+
+      Oh! but Possession supersedes the Line!
+
+      Indeed!--then king, as king, has Right Divine;
+      And, coy Succession fled from majesty,
+      Makes Usurpation as divine as he;
+      _De Facto is de Jure_, and a throne,
+      To every dog that steals it is his bone!
+
+      Hence tyrants--and from these infected springs,
+      Flows the best title of _the Best of Kings!_ *
+
+          * The Best of Kings (Court slang) the King for the time
+          being.--Many a king has been the worst man of his age, but
+          no king was ever the best. In 1683, the very year of Charles
+          the Second's reign, in which Lord William Russel and
+          Algernon Sydney were murdered under the forms of law, by
+          packed juries, and the king's passive obedient judges--when
+          the throne floated in blood, and the king's manners were
+          notoriously and disgust-ingly sensual and dissolute--in that
+          year, J. Shnrley, M. A. in his 'Ecclesiastical History
+          Epitomised,' gives Charles the title of "the best of kings!"
+          calls his life and reign virtuous! and prays that his days
+          may be as the days of Heaven!--This loyal author calls
+          himself, The Christian reader's "beloved Brother in Christ!"
+          Of the same king, Charles II., Horace Walpole (Lord Orford)
+          gives this character in his Epistle from Florence:--
+          (Dodsley's Collection, vol. iii. p. 92.)
+
+     Fortune, or fair, or frowning, on his soul
+     Could stamp no virtue, and no vice controul!
+
+     Honour or morals, gratitude or truth,
+     Nor taught his ripen'd age, nor knew his youth!
+
+     The care of nations left to whores or chance,
+     Plund'rer of Britain, pensioner of France;
+     Free to buffoons, to ministers denied,
+     He lived an atheist, and a bigot died!
+
+          All kings have parasites and praise; the Press records their
+          actions; and Posterity gives their characters.
+
+{086}
+
+     _Right of Succession_, or what other claim
+     Of right to rule, by whatsoever name
+     Or title call'd, by whomsoever urged,
+     Is in the people's right of choosing merged.
+
+     The right's the People's, and the People's choice
+     Binds kings in duty to obey their voice;
+     The Public Will, the only Right Divine,
+     Sanctions the office, or divides the line;
+     Topples the crown from off the tyrant's head,
+     And puts a king to govern in his stead.
+
+     Tyrant and king are vastly different things--
+     We're robb'd by tyrants, but obey'd by kings!
+
+     If it be ask'd, how the distinction's known,
+     Oppression marks him out--the nations groan,
+     The broken laws, the cries of injur'd blood,
+     Are languages by all men understood! *
+
+          * Tyrants lose all respect for humanity, in proportion as
+          they are sunk beneath it; taught to believe themselves of
+          a different species, they really become so; lose their
+          participation with their kind; and, in mimicking the God,
+          dwindle into the brute! Blind with prejudices as a mole,
+          stung with truth as with scorpions, sore all over with
+          wounded pride like a boil, their minds a heap of morbid
+          proud flesh and bloated humours, a disease and gan-grene in
+          the state, instead of its life-blood and vital principle--
+          foreign despots claim mankind as their property. They regard
+          men crawling on the face of the earth as we do insects that
+          cross our path, and survey the common drama of human life as
+          a fantoccini exhibition got up for tlieir amusement. It is
+          the over-weening, aggravated, intolerable sense of swelling
+          pride and ungovernable self-will that so often drives them
+          mad; as it is their blind fatuity and insensibility to all
+          beyond themselves, that, transmitted through successive
+          generations, and confirmed by regal intermarriages, in time
+          makes them idiots.

+
+     Just laws and liberty make patriot kings;
+     Tyrants and tyranny are self-made things. *
+
+          * Though a Despot be transformed into a limited king, he is
+          in heart and purpose still a despot. He feels duress; he is
+          not at liberty to oppress at his pleasare; and he awaits an
+          opportnnity to exercise 'the Right Divine of Kings to govern
+          wrong;' for he holds the doctrine that "oaths are not to be
+          kept with subjects." In the reign of Richard II. the Duke of
+          Norfolk apprised the Duke of Hereford, that the King
+          purposed their destruction:--
+
+          Hereford.--God forbid!--He has sworn by St. Edward, to be a
+          good Lord to me and the others.
+
+          Norfolk.-- So has he often sworn to me by God's Body: but I
+          do not trust him the more for that!
+
+          Every restored despot has become an unblushing and shameless
+          perjurer; where is there in history an instance to the con-
+          trary?--Once  a Despot, and always a Despot.
+
+          Alfred the Great is the only King in our annals who being
+          guilty of misgovernment, and seeing its evils had the high
+          courage to acknowledge his crime by amendment. At the
+          commencement of his reign he seemed to consider his exalted
+          dignity as an emancipation from restraint, and to have found
+          leisure, even amidst his struggles with the Danes, to
+          indulge the irapetuosity of his passions. His immorality and
+          despotism provoked the censure of the virtuous; he was
+          haughty to his subjects, neglected the administration of
+          justice, and treated with contempt the complaints of the
+          indigent and oppressed. In the eighth year of his reign he
+          was driven from the throne by the Danes. Narrowly escaping
+          death and enduring many hardships, adversity brought
+          reflection. According to the piety of the age, instead of
+          tracing events to their political sources, he referred them
+          immediately to the providence of God; and considered his
+          misfortunes as the instrument with which Divine Justice
+          punished his past enormities. By his prudence and valour he
+          regaiued the throne, and drew np a code of laws by which he
+          ordained the governmeat should be administered. Magistrates
+          trembled at his stern impartiality and inflexibility. He
+          executed forty-four judges in one year for their informal
+          and iniquitous proceedings. Hence their survivors and
+          successors were careful to acquire a competent degree of
+          knowledge, and their decisions became accordant to the law.
+          Discovering that the only real foundation of national
+          happiness is in the enlightenment of the people, he
+          instructed them himself by his writings, endowed
+          establishments for the promotion of Education, and became
+          the guardian and benefactor of his country.*--His virtues
+          were the fruit of early instruction. When he was a child,
+          his mother, Osburga, awakened in him a passion for learning
+          aud knowledge. Holding in her hand a Saxon poem, elegantly
+          written and beautifully illnminated, she offered it as a
+          reward to the first of her children whose proficiency should
+          enable him to read it to her. The emulation of Alfred was
+          excited: he ran to his master, applied to the task with
+          diligence, performed it to the satisfaction of the queen,
+          and received the prize of his industry. His mind thus opened
+          by this excellent woman, she dropped in the seeds of
+          knowledge; by careful culture they grew into wisdom, and
+          Alfred is one of the most illustrious instances of the
+          endless blessings conferred upon man by Education.
+
+          From the banks of the strong hold of Corfe Castle, in
+          Dorsetshire, near Wareham, formerly a station of the Danish
+          barbariaus, one of their successors making good his lodgment
+          in a nameless House denies the justice of Universal
+          Education, forgetful, perhaps, that the benighted savages,
+          his predecessors, were finally expelled by Alfred; that it
+          was the triumph of Knowledge and Liberty over Ignorance and
+          Selfish power; and that Alfred, disdaining to use the
+          advantage whick Education gave him over the rest of the
+          people, othirwise than for their welfare, incessuntly
+          laboured to dispense its benefits to All.

+
+     As government was ever understood
+     To be a measure for the people's good;
+     So when perverted to a wrong intent,
+     It's stark oppression, not a government.
+
+{189}
+
+     Blest are the days, and wing'd with joy they fly,
+     When kings protect the people's liberty;
+     When settled peace in stated order reigns,
+     And, nor the nation, nor the king complains;
+     If kings may ravish, plunder, and destroy,
+     Oppress the world, and all its wealth enjoy;
+     May harass nations, with their breath may kill,
+     And limit liberty by royal will;
+     Then was the world for ignorance design'd,
+     And God gave kings to blast the human mind;
+     And Kings but general farmers of the land;
+     And men their stock for slaughter at command;
+     Mere beasts of draught, to crouch and be opprest,
+     Whom God, the mighty landlord, form'd in jest.
+
+     Yet who believes that Heaven in vain creates,
+     And gives up what it loves to what it hates;
+     That man's great Maker call'd him into birth,
+     To be destroy'd by tyrant-fiends on earth;
+     That nations are but footstools to a throne,
+     And millions born to be the slaves of one?

+TO THE READER.
+
+The Slap, at first arranged in the manner, and in every respect in
+imitation, assumed the appearance of a newspaper, except that the
+columns were broken by _cuts_. It was a crown broadside, and the
+agreeable appearance of the stamp was preserved by the subjoined diagram
+being placed at the corner.
+
+[Illustration: 201]
+
+Doubtless every one who entered into the design, was satisfied with the
+original form of the publication; yet the author has been perplexed
+by numerous applications for an edition in this size. He finds it as
+difficult to account for want of taste as for it; but it being the
+fashion for the minority to be polite to the majority, he bends at last
+to the too general request, and submits The Slap, with a broken spirit,
+to go down, bound, with his other little pieces.

+Original Address
+
+A Bag of political nuts ready cracked, is not only rather dangerous fare
+to serve up, but a man who takes the trouble to crack them, will find
+the kernels cleaner and sweeter for his pains. Though they who run
+may read the greater portion of the present sheet, yet there are a few
+articles that require attention, and two or three arc designed for those
+only who alone can understand them.
+
+My first intention was to parody Slop's paper, 'The Slop-tail,' or 'Much
+Times,' throughout. But he is as vapid as the Marquess of Lunnunderry.
+* What could I do with thoughts as unquotable, as confused, as ill
+conceived, as ill expressed, as that _puissante_ ** Lord's --without
+depth or originality--as plentiful and superficial as duck-weed.
+
+I found not a sparkle of talent in any of Slop's lean 'leaders' to
+re-pay me the trouble of wearisome reading. Under the 'stringent
+necessity' of varying my original plan, yet loth to abandon it
+altogether, I have parodied some of the features common to the
+Slop-pail, and supplied the department I had allotted to an imitation of
+his mindless verbiage with a sketch of his Life--filling the remainder
+of the sheet in my own way. There are discrepancies inseparable from
+this course, but I write to good-humoured readers, who have no objection
+to see the mind as well as the person of a friend in undress, and who
+take as little interest in the decision of the High Court of Criticism
+on things of this sort, as they took in the decision of the 'Court of
+Claims' concerning the 'imposing' ceremony of the coronation, and things
+of that sort.,
+
+The drawings are, as usual, by Mr. George Cruikshank, whose
+able pencil has had greater scope here than in a pamphlet; that size
+would have entirely excluded Dr. Southey's Vision, the
+
+Jack-in-the-Green, and the masterly representation of the Bridge-street gang
+destroying a Free Press, and suspending Liberty, while Slop is working
+his Press to distort and torture Truth.

+
+THE LIFE OFbDOCTOR SLOP,
+
+AND THE ORIGIN OF THE BRIDGE-STREET GANG.
+
+The origin and the end of this man are alike uncertain. He was sent
+to Oxford when young, as a student destined for holy orders, under the
+patronage of the Bishop of Durham.
+
+'Go thou and seek the house of prayer:
+
+         I to the woodlands bend my way,
+
+          And meet Religion there;
+
+          She needs not haunt the high-arch'd dome to pray,
+
+Where storied windows dim the doubtful day;
+
+           With Liberty she loves to rove'----
+
+These lines, in Mr. Southey's lyric poem, '_written on Sunday Morning_,' *
+express the thoughts of Slop when a college youth.
+
+     * Southey's Minor Poems, vol. i. p. 1S7.
+
+At {196}that time he had a sort of conscience; for, in consequence of
+an honest course of reading, he refused to subscribe to the Thirty-nine
+Articles. Thus disqualifying himself from being a candidate for the
+'imposition of hands' by the Bishop, he for ever relinquished the
+prospect of entrance into the church, and cultivated his mind by reading
+Paine's _Rights of Man._
+
+Fascinated by the writings of Mrs. Mary Wollstoncrofft, more especially
+by her celebrated '_Vindication of the Rights of Woman,_' he assiduously
+sought that lady's acquaintance, and having obtained the desired honour,
+cultivated her intimacy with passionate admiration. On the appearance of
+Mr. Godwin's '_Inquiry concerning Moral and Political Justice_,' he read
+and studied it with doting enthusiasm; the chapters on _Property_, and
+on _the Sexual Intercourse_, were particularly to his taste--the chapter
+on _Sincerity_, not so much. Hungering for a personal friendship with
+the author of the _Political Justice_, who became the husband of Mrs.
+Wollstoncrofft, he humbled himself before him, beseeching permission to
+consider that philosopher as his Gamaliel, and to sit at his feet as
+the least of his disciples. This was granted, and in that school he
+commenced an intimacy with Mr. Thomas Holcroft and his friends. That
+gentleman had just been released from imprisonment, under indictments
+for high treason, with Messrs. Hardy, Horne Tooke, and Thelwall,
+who were tried and acquitted of the charge; and at this time Slop's
+political fervor rose above the temperament of the most hot-blooded
+among the patriots he associated with. It had been fashionable to wear
+the hair long and. tied; he thought this aristocratic, cut his hair off
+to look like a democrat, became a _round-head_, and was called _Citizen
+S_. At length he was marked out from his fellows by the distinguishing
+appellation of '_the Jacobin_,' and he became a _Leveller_. Affixing
+to the words 'Liberty and Equality,' an interpretation of his own, he
+contended with the _Spenceans_, that there could be no real Liberty
+without Equality so he preached the doctrine of _all things in common_;
+and prevailed on a young man who had imbibed some of his notions, to aid
+him in proving its advantages. In an attic chamber in the Temple they
+founded a _community of goods_--lived on short commons --and waited
+on each other. Here Slop lighted the fire, and fetched water from the
+Temple pump for their joint use, till, tired of the pitcher-duty, he
+proposed {197}transferring the undignified office to his companion, who
+declined to accept it; and a fierce quarrel arising in this 'perfect
+state of society,' concerning rights and duties, the Commonwealth of two
+ceased to exist.
+
+In this exigency, moderation, which at one time he seems to have thought
+criminal, became expedient on many accounts. About 1796 he visited
+Scotland, with letters of recommendation to respectable society; yet
+his wild opinions on religion and politics caused him to be disliked by
+some of the most respectable students who held Whig principles, and who,
+still holding them, dislike and shun him now for his extreme violence in
+another direction. When at Edinburgh, he affected singularity of habit
+as well as thought, and paraded the streets, especially the Leith-Walk,
+in a drab dress of romantic simplicity. On his return from Scotland, he
+employed himself in writing for the booksellers. In 1798 he translated
+the play of Don Carlos, from the German of Schiller, and presented his
+friend, Mr. Holcroft, with a copy, who says, that 'he executed his task
+respectably.' * On the 5th of August, in that year, he dined with Mr.
+Godwin and Mr. Parry (the Republican Editor of the Courier Newspaper
+when it was conducted on democratic principles), at the house of Mr.
+Holcroft, where, according to that gentleman's diary, ** he was, 'as
+usual, acute; but pertinacious and verbose. On the 25th of November,
+he wrote to Mr. Holcroft, complaining of neglect, *** who answered by
+denying such intention; and indeed his intimacy with the _coterie_ at
+Mr. Holcroft's, was of the closest nature, and his attachment to
+that philosopher's principles and person so strong, that he proposed
+intermarriage with his family, which was declined. He remained ardently
+devoted to the new philosophy, long after Mr. Holcroft's death,
+and until Mr. Godwin found it convenient to decline his wearisome
+acquaintance. Fickleness and obstinacy, and the exercise of a faculty
+for incessant disputation, rendered his society very tedious to the
+philosophers. Fruitless attempts to repress or soften his pugnacious
+turn, exhausted their patience. In defence of themselves, they
+disregarded and finally cut him;--so {198}that it became the _New
+Times_ with him in philosophy.
+

+
+He rambled to conceal his discontent, and to get fresh notions and
+fresh friends. A pedestrian tour through Scotland, with letters of
+recommendation, and a pliability of manner accommodated to his new
+views, effected both. He published his _Tour_ in 1801. It is written
+with extreme caution. His real opinions are kept out of the book as much
+as possible; yet they occasionally peep forth; for instance, he says,
+'We seem inspired with enthusiasm to fall down and worship the golden
+image of commerce; let us not wholly submit our feelings to our
+purses, and counters, and ledgers--we may be very rich in products, and
+manufactures, and population, and very poor in the spirits and minds of
+men!' *--he dare not put that in his Slop-pail. In the _Tour_, he speaks
+in praise of the Rev. Sir Henry Moscreiff
+
+Wellwood, a Scottish Baronet of Whig principles, whose daughter he
+afterwards married, whether from _innate love of legitimacy_, or what,
+is unknown. Before he wrote the _Tour_, he procured the degree of LL.D.
+(as the Laureate has done since), and the philosopher, who had refused
+subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles to the Church of England, and
+had been in turn a Republican, a Jacobin, a Leveller, and a Spencean,
+became a Doctor of Laws, and sunk into the wig and gown of an advocate
+in the Ecclesiastical Court! Resuming an intimacy with some young men
+of his own stamp, who knew him at college, they obtained a place for
+him--he was made king's advocate at Malta. So fell Slop. Here ended his
+career of what he called Patriotism. He mistook passionate heat for the
+enthusiasm of genius, a habit of loud talking for talent, a ranting
+way of writing for reasoning, and pertinacity of manner for firmness of
+character. His vain disputations occasioned him to be noticed, and
+this he thought equal to being admired. Conceit of ability rendered him
+covetous of distinction; he acquired it--
+
+               'The Court's a golden, but a. fatal circle,
+               Upon whose magic skirts a thousand devils,
+               In crystal forms sit tempting innocence,
+               And beckon early virtue from its centre.'--
+
+                              Stoddart's Tour, vol. i. p. 12.
+
+The {199}smirks and smiles of courtiers, the tinsel and glitter of
+embroidered coats and waistcoats, the hum and sops- of office, hurried
+him into the train of ministerial menials, as easily as a beggar's
+hungry brat is seduced by the finery of gilt paper, and the sound of the
+shovel and brush, to follow the chimney-sweepers on May-day, through the
+dirty alleys of St. Giles's. His artificial wants were too many to be
+gratified by an even walk in the path of rectitude. When he saw that
+'public principle' was an obstacle to the gratification of his vulgar
+vanity, he suppressed it--
+
+          'He was no Patriot then, nor gave his breath
+          Bravely to speak his mind, and venture death:--
+          For'twas his judgment then--though not in youth--
+          One grain of ease was worth a world of Truth'
+
+                                           Watts.
+
+Notwithstanding this, he remained, secretly, a correspondent to the
+_Monthly Magazine_, and wrote for Sir Richard Phillips.
+
+Vacating his place at Malta in favour of his brother-in-law, and coming
+back to seek his fortune, he scrambled about during a year and a half,
+in Doctors' Commons and among the booksellers, in search of employment,
+till he procured an engagement from the proprietors of _The Times_ as
+a writer in that journal. His labours in this way were ardent, but
+profitable to nobody but himself. On the return of Napoleon from Elba,
+the _ex-republican_ became an admirer of privileged orders, and 'the
+right divine of kings to govern wrong'--glorified the thrones of the
+allied despots--fell flat on his face in worship of legitimacy--and
+affected a beatific vision of the political millenium in the restoration
+of the Bourbons. He soon honoured Napoleon with all the obnoxious
+designations the language could supply. He called him 'a villain, a
+wretch, a rebel, a brigand, a traitor, a fiend, a felon, an incendiary,
+an impostor, an assassin, a viper, a demon, a fool, a living Moloch, a
+bloody dog, and a blackamoor.' * To these and hundreds of other names,
+he prefixed innumerable epithets expressive of disgust and hate. Every
+one but himself saw that such a course must shortly end. The {200}writer
+of this article being forcibly reminded of the cursing of Trim
+in _Tristram Shandy_, ridiculed Slop's _Execratory_, in a little piece
+intituled 'Buonaparte -phobia; or, _Cursing made Easy, &c_. by Dr.
+Slop.' * It not only insured to him the name of SLOP for ever, but
+hastened what was neither intended nor anticipated, his dismissal from
+_The Times_.
+
+     * See the Tract, intituled '_The Origin of Dr. Slops, Name._'
+
+The persecution of the French Protestants on the restoration of
+Louis XVIII. and their massacre at _Nismes_, occasioned the English
+Protestants to interest themselves heartily for their relief. The
+Committee of Dissenters at Dr, Williams's _Library in Red-Cross-street_
+inquired into the facts, published a verifying Report, and took measures
+for sending pecuniary succours. Seeking to earn the wages of his
+prostitution by slavering the hoof of tyranny, and maddened that Bourbon
+bigotry should be obstructed in its operation, Slop denied the truth of
+the statements, vilified the whole body of English Dissenters, imputed
+their humanity to unworthy and scandalous motives, and threw as many
+daring fabrications as his mercenary pen could create in the way of
+their efforts. With undaunted audacity he gave the lie direct to his
+father-in-law, Sir Henry Moncreiff Wellwood, who, in the kindness and
+courage of his heart, became President of a Public Meeting at Edinburgh,
+and inspirited the Protestants of Scotland to co-operate in a national
+subscription for the persecuted. When Slop's slanders were successfully
+repelled, and his artful falsehoods exposed, he withdrew without
+evidencing any other regret than what arose from his having been unable
+to effect his unhallowed purposes.
+
+*****
+
+His first exploit after his expulsion from _The Times_ was, an attempt
+to delude the public by engrafting himself upon a _quacking_ newspaper,
+now known, like himself, by a two-fold name, it being indiscriminately
+called 'The Muck Times,' and 'The Slop Pail.' The imposition succeeded
+only with a few. His writing gave the lie direct to his puffing
+pretensions, and his falsehoods were exposed in the paper from which
+he had been discharged. * He knows full well,' says _The Times_ ( in
+February, 18]7) that 'his articles were rejected {201}from our columns
+on account of the virulence and indiscretion with which they were
+written; and that, for more than twelve months preceding, whatever
+articles attracted notice by their merit, were exclusively the
+productions of other gentlemen.--_There are in the office, sacks full of
+his rejected writings_; which, if they were published, would exhibit
+an accurate criterion of his puffed-off abilities; _the sale of our
+Journal increased the more, the less he wrote; and since he has ceased
+from writing altogether, has extended with a rapidity of which we have
+known no example, since we have had the management of it_. This and
+other statements were stunning blows to him, and remained unnoticed,
+because they were unanswerable.
+
+     * This squib is reprinted entire in a pamphlet, intituled
+     'The Origin of Dr. Slops Name.'
+
+His overweening pride received another shock through his new friends the
+_legitimates_. He went to Paris, and applied to be introduced at court;
+but 'The Bourbon' refused to receive him! Yes! refused to receive
+him--Slop; that Slop who, to gain the favour of his Most Christian
+Majesty, when he was in England, had 'tainted himself with the
+plague-spot of Legitimacy, till he was leprous all over; in whose
+inmost soul it had fixed its mortal sting, and, like an ugly spider,
+entangled him in its slimy folds, brooding on him as on its own poison.'
+** He--who had abandoned principle, was abandoned by friends, had
+incurred the world's contempt, and had sold himself to the devil in the
+service of legitimacy--_he_ to be refused permission to bow over the
+hand of Louis XVIII!--_he_ to be despised and rejected by that same
+Louis who had received Mr. Street, the late Editor of the _Courier_,
+with open arms, and conferred on him the order of the _Lys!_--this was
+the unkindest cut of all! He returned to England in the last stage of
+mortification--a bye-word--a reproach--a laughing stock!

+
+Harnessed with other hacks to the machine of tyranny, he must answer to
+the lash of the driver, and drag it along, or be trampled over. Smack
+went the whip, and on went Slop. To support the new order of things in
+France, it was necessary, in addition to the bayonets of foreigners,
+that the press there should be put under a censorship, and that the
+_free_ press of England should make {202}a monstrous experiment to write
+up the advantages of a shackled press in France. Dr. Slop undertook the
+task, and joining to himself another Doctor, the Poet Laureate, they
+united with persons of similar qualifications in France, and commenced
+operations by announcing a publication called the '_Correspondent_,'
+which was to appear at London in the English, and at Paris in the
+French language on the same day. It was conducted on the plan of
+a 'Class-meeting' among the Methodists, where each relates his
+'experience.' But neither the French nor the English cared a _sous_
+about the political 'experience' of Doctor Slop, Doctor Southey, or
+the mad Viscount Chateaubriand. Besides, the Poet Laureate, instead of
+telling his own 'experience,' told, a long story about the Rev. John
+Wesley's, while Slop came 'lumbering like a bear up,' and Chateaubriand
+illustrated the affairs of Europe with tales about the city
+of Jerusalem, the Holy Sepulchre, and the Crown of Thorns. The
+'Correspondent' fell still-born amid the laughter of the few people of
+both nations who knew of its coming forth, and perhaps there are only
+five persons in England who remember it even by name--Messrs. Longman,
+Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, who had the honour of the profit and loss
+account.
+
+Devoid of political principle, Slop's real source of action is pure
+selfishness. His end and aim are antisocial, because his _Slop-pail_
+can only exist during political strife. He would inflame the passions of
+ministers and their minions, to vex and to harass the people, that the
+people may be irritated into resistance against persecution. He and
+his fellow-laboureres vilified and goaded whole communities of starving
+manufacturers. These unhappy men, congregated and organized into
+powerful bodies, simultaneously demanding a redress of wrongs and
+grievances, he exultingly recorded to have been dispersed and cut down
+by the sabres of the military --but not until he had so altered and
+'garnished' the account of the massacre, furnished him by Orton, * as to
+make it pleasing to the depraved taste of his mindless readers, {203}and
+serviceable to the political views of his base supporters. This was his
+harvest; but he has reaped that, and is sowing another.
+
+     * Henry Orton, not Horatio Orton the Informer to the Gang,
+     but his brother. This Henry Orton was a witness for the
+     Prosecu-tion against Mr. Henry Hunt and others, at York; and
+     when cross-examined by Mr. Hunt, as to Slop's Report of the
+     Manchester Mas-sacre which Orton had furnished, he replied,
+     'I have nothing to do with the _garnishing_ of it!'--See the
+     Trials at York.
+
+Pending the prosecution of the Queen, the Rev. Solomon Piggott, Curate
+of St. James's, Clerkenwell, and St. Antholin's, Watling-Street, a man
+of weak and restless mind, conceived the idea of publishing Caricatures,
+by Public Subscription, in ridicule of her Majesty and her supporters.
+He communicated this design to Dr. Slop, who engaged heartily in the
+plan. Subscribers were advertised for, and were formed into a body,
+called 'The Loyal Association,' and Mr. Charles Bicknell, of No.
+3, Spring Garden Terrace, the Solicitor to the Admiralty, was the
+Treasurer. Piggott wrote maudlin prose and wretched verse, and
+illustrated his unintellectual labours with coloured caricatures. These
+were issued to the world through a Publisher of Obscenity, while they
+were powerfully puffed by Slop in his Slop-pail, and Piggott himself
+cringed, his way to Court, and presented the talentless trash to
+his Majesty in person, who received it most graciously; and, as an
+encouragement to his labours, subscribed for forty sets of one of his
+works at a guinea each. But the public judgment refused the rinsings
+of the sycophant parson's brain; and the united efforts of 'the Loyal
+Association' being inadequate to produce a single article of ability
+from the press, they turned their thoughts towards an attack upon the
+Press itself. They were deplorably 'poor in the spirits and minds of
+men,' but 'their purses, and counters, and ledgers,' were productive,
+and at one of their meetings they abandoned the project of a Series of
+Publications, and determined to commence a Series of Prosecutions. The
+notorious John Reeves, a plentifully-endowed placeman, who had thrown
+the country into a state of alarm by a Loyal Association in 1793,
+entered into these views; but, as the term Loyal had acquired
+an unfavourable odour, they changed their name from 'the Loyal
+Association,' to 'the Constitutional Association.' Piggott's Treasurer,
+Mr. Bicknell, with John Reeves (both lawyers), got Sir John Sewell (also
+a lawyer), a pensioner in the Red Book, to become the president of
+the confederacy. They appointed Charles Murray (another lawyer), their
+'Honorary Secretary', a very acceptable post to a hungry attorney,
+who had quartered part of his family in public situations. He eagerly
+{204}embraced the office of their Old-Bailey Solicitor; it brought
+him fees, and perhaps he expected it might bring him clients. They were
+joined by Longueville Clarke (also a lawyer), and the son of a person
+holding an appointment in a Government Establishment. John Poynder (also
+a lawyer) resident in Bridewell, to which, as well as Bethlem (two other
+Government Establishments), he is Clerk and Attorney, had been compelled
+to resign his office of Secretary to the Bible Society, and was at full
+leisure to become an active confederate. Intercourse with the prisoners
+in Newgate had given a certain turn to his views; a drinker of port
+wine himself, he had descanted, before a Committee of the House of
+Commons, on the wickedness of common gin; with a good comfortable
+house over his head, at the public expense, he had disturbed poor old
+apple-women who sought an independent living 'in summer's heat and
+winter's cold he had also a horror, upon public principle, of street
+organs in the evening; and, like his friend Slop, he had experienced
+the mortification of having his defamatory, and 'mewling and puling'
+writings rejected by '_The Times_'--the new concern was quite to his
+taste. Slop (himself a lawyer) became the Horn-boy of the Gang,--to blow
+the 'great news,' the 'extraordinary new's,' of their proceedings--to
+puff their attacks upon the Free Press of the People--to assist in
+raising the flame of alarm throughout the country--and to give the
+earliest intelligence of their Prosecutions. This paid Slop well, for
+the trouble he had with Parson Solomon, in laying the Plot; for, as the
+adherents to it increased, they took especial care to give their support
+and influence to the hireling paper, from whence Slop derives the means
+of supporting his tawdry existence. By these measures, the weak-minded
+were terrified out of subscriptions for anti-social objects; and the
+selfish crew having gathered around them the chief priests, and the
+pharisees, and some of the fattest amongst the placeholders, pensioners,
+and tax-eaters, who exist upon the people's labour, they fitted up an
+office at Walker's Hotel, No. 6, New Bridge Street, Blackfriars, for the
+purpose of more conveniently carrying on the imposture. From this
+'Den' they put forth a specious Address, which is rendered into pretty
+intelligible language in subsequent pages of this publication. *
+
+     * Pages 22-4.
+
+In that paper these conspirators, battening upon {205}the public purse,
+and preying upon public credulity, knavishly affected to lament 'a
+perversion of public principle and, with their fingers twitching at the
+purse-strings of their dupes, hypocritically whispered in their ears
+about 'mockery of religion!'--like the hacknied procuress who, to effect
+her designs upon innocence, pretends an extraordinary affection for
+virtue. What shameful pimping to the whiffling understandings of the
+timid! What artful pandering to pampered bloatedness! What an insolent

+Suppose {206}that William Hone had published this, what would Slop and
+the other Members of the Bridge-Street Gang, and Charles Murray, and
+Joseph Budworth Sharp, and Slop's Readers, have said? But William Hone
+did not publish this. No. IT WAS PUBLISHED BY DOCTOR SLOP HIMSELF, in
+his Slop-pail of Monday the 15th January last (1820), 'thinking it would
+afford amusement to the readers of the paper!' *
+
+Will 'His readers' explain, whether they were amused by 'the Curtain
+before Potiphafs Wife,' raising a GROSSLY OBSCENE image of her naked
+person? Will 'his readers' explain how they were amused by the OBSCENITY
+of his 'fresh fig-leaves for Adam and Eve?' Will 'his readers' explain,
+what suggestions were conveyed to their minds by 'a Fresh Witch of
+Endor,' and by 'Six strings for David's Harp?'--that harp to which
+the Psalms were sung, that have rolled on to us in the full majesty of
+poetical grandeur during successive generations, and will continue their
+choral pealing to the loftiest feelings of the human heart, till they,
+and the music of the spheres, shall cease together.

+When, on the accusation of the chief priests and the elders of the Jews,
+in the name of the people, the time was near at hand that Jesus should
+seal the sincerity of his labours of love, and peace on earth, and
+good-will to mankind, by his death, and 'Pilate saw that he could
+prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed
+his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood
+of this just person; see ye to it. **--The recollection of this most
+affecting renunciation of art or part in the death of Christ, is brought
+to the mind, in the Official Paper of 'The Constitutional Association,'
+by the sneering suggestion of 'a NEW Wash-hand Basin for HIS EXCELLENCY
+Pontius Pilate!'

+
+Will 'the readers,' for whose 'amusement' Dr. Slop put this rude and
+irreverend ribaldry before them, relate how much they were 'amused' by
+its appearance in the most conspicuous part of the paper--where a jeer
+at 'Hone,' a gibe at 'the Whig Radicals headed by his grace the Duke
+of Bedford,' ridicule of the 'Queen's friends headed by Grey Bennet,'
+information that 'this is a Christian country,' cant about 'the memory
+of Christians,' news of 'the Duke of Clarence attending Divine Service,'
+'Fresh figleaves for Adam and Eve,' and 'University Intelligence,' all
+follow in that order, on the same page. Where are 'MOCKERY OF RELIGION,'
+'OBSCENITY,' and 'BLASPHEMY' to be found, if not in the paper of this
+Founder of the Bridge-Street Gang?
+
+This varnished hypocrite is said to be a gentleman:--it may be so.
+The article, so called, can be easily manufactured by a tailor and a
+dancing-master, and a few lessons in the school of Chesterfield. A head,
+powdered and erect, a solemn stalk, a bow to people of certain rank, the
+cut to people of another rank, and an affected condescension to those
+termed inferiors, will procure any man the reputation of being genteel,
+among the groundlings. Such gentlemen as these swarm in shoals, from
+the _Bridge-Street-Gang Informer_ to the Marquess secretary for foreign
+affairs; the appearances that constitute these personages are usual and
+essential to every adventurer.
+
+When {208}Slop parted with his integrity, he lost his selfrespect.
+Attacking the honesty he secretly envies, and has not the courage to
+imitate, he has nothing to compensate him for a comfortless mind, but
+an empty consequence among fools and knaves, which yields no repose. His
+appearance in the Slop-pail is ludicrous. Affecting a semblance to which
+he has no real pretension, he looks like a nightman in a cocked hat, who
+pulls up his frill at every discharge of muck, to show his gentility.
+His case is a common one. He rose from the bottom of society by foul
+self-inflation, and floats a filthy bubble among the scum upon the
+surface.
+
+A minion of ministers, a parasite to despotism throughout the world,
+public virtue is the object of his unprincipled hate and unsparing
+abuse. Hence, there is not a 'public principle' that his mendacity has
+not 'perverted;' not a man of disinterested public conduct that he has
+not vilified; not a measure of advantage to the country, emanating
+from such men, that he has not derided; not a measure of ministerial
+profligacy that he has not promoted; not a public job that he has not
+bolstered; not a public knave that he has not shielded; not an inroad
+upon the constitution that he has not widened; not a treason against
+the people's liberties that he has not advocated; not a sore upon the
+people's hearts that he has not enlarged.

+DR. SLOP'S OBSCENITY.
+
+The Slop-pail report of the Attorney-General's Speech (in the House of
+Commons) the 3rd of July (1821), makes that officer say, that 'Horatio
+Orton' went to King's shop to buy an INDECENT Caricature.' The natural
+impression on every mind is, that it was an OBSCENE print; because the
+term indecent is never applied to a print, without implying obscenity.
+It was not only quite in character for _Slop_, who amused his readers
+with the obscenity of 'FRESH FIG-LEAVES FOR ADAM AND EVE,' but it suited
+his purpose as a Member of the Bridge-Street Gang, to fix OBSCENITY
+upon a political caricature. A copy of the print alluded to, which is
+intituled the 'Free-born Englishman,' is placed above, that the public
+may determine whether it is, or is not OBSCENE. Every one who looks at
+it will naturally be astonished at the impudence of the imputation, and
+some perhaps be induced to call the utterer by that short but natural
+appellation which no honest man in society ever applied but to a
+miscreant, who ought to have it burnt in upon his forehead as a mark
+to avoid him by. A 'curtain' before this print, to save Slop from the
+infamy its appearance brands him with, would be more serviceable to him
+now, than, it is to be hoped, his 'CURTAIN BEFORE POTIPHARS WIFE' was
+amusing to his readers,

+INQUISITORIAL ASSOCIATION,
+
+FOR OPPOSING THE PROGRESS OF KNOWLEDGE AND CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES.
+
+PRESIDENT--SIR JOHN SEWEL, Knt. LL.D.
+
+ADDRESS.
+
+[_The following is a Parody upon the 'Address' OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL
+ASSOCIATION, a nefarious Conspiracy for creating alarm in the minds of
+the timid, and obtaining money upon false pretences. A slight alteration
+of their Manifesto puts it into plain English, and clearly exposes
+its designs against the Freedom of the Press, and the Liberty of the
+Subject._]
+
+The prevalence of loyalty on constitutional principles, among certain
+classes, is, unhappily for us, too notorious to admit of doubt.
+
+Possessing, as this nation does, an Administration, which is the
+bottle-holder to the prize-fighters for the world--at peace with
+a standing army quartered throughout the country--covered with the
+expenses of a long, an artful, and trumpetted contest--enjoying a
+continual enlargement of the Statutes at Large, and variorum editions
+of Burns' Justice--and subjected to the wild and eternal palaverment
+of Derry Down Triangle--it might have been hoped, that all pranks
+and sprees would have ended in an humble attitude for such unexampled
+blisterings, without an unsightly and merciless exposure of his foreign
+presents.
+
+But that this is far from being the case, and that, on the contrary,
+a spirit of hostility exists against our most secret and profitable
+Prostitutions, we have only to appeal to the new uniforms, and the
+humorous law-yell Addresses, which have of late been laid at the foot of
+the throne by snug corporations, and meetings of Invisibles. Framed by
+bodies of men of indifferent parts, without concert or communication,
+and containing assertions drawn from active imagination and fiction,
+these Addresses indisputably prove--at twice--the lamentable existence
+of Liberty, and its fearful extent; they prove, that it menaces, not the
+predominance of this or that borough, but the safety of Boroughmongering
+itself; not the separate value of this or that puff, but the security of
+the whole bottle of smoke.
+
+The consequences which have already resulted from the propagation of
+public principle, are but too obvious. Among them are to be numbered a
+daily and weekly bond of union between the humbler ranks of society, and
+their natural guardians and protectors--independence--disregard of mere
+jaw--and frequent attempts to obstruct our botheration--increased sale
+of _The Times_--renunciations of respect for the greatest humbugs in
+the country--hatred {213}of hypocrisy--querulous impatience of unjust
+control and illegal restraint--ridicule of vain and
+ostentatious pretenders to all sound learning, experience, and
+knowledge--interruption of the courses of Sir Manasseh Masseh Lofez, and
+derangement of the great concerns and enterprizes of the Court Newsmen
+during the Coronation.
+
+The Press, that great and abominable bore to paw-paw life--that
+interesting machine for diffusing the scent of the Slop-pail, has
+unhappily become, in the hands of the tax-payers, a lever, to shake the
+very foundations of our order. Its power, which within the last century
+has been multiplied a hundred fold, may now be said to reign paramount
+over vice; and to those friends to themselves, who dig deep into the fat
+of the land, it cannot but be matter of serious alarm to observe, that
+a very large proportion of our periodical publications is under the
+direction either of avowed enemies of the close boroughs, or of persons
+whose sole principle of action is opposed to our own private and
+self-sell interest. Every heart and voice is employed with daily
+increasing boldness to render the people acquainted with the proceedings
+of the borough-mongers--to show them that they are not represented
+by those whom they have not elected--to seduce them from their long
+affliction and allegiance to our sovereignty; and finally, to bring
+about a Reformation, on which the prosperity, the internal happiness,
+and the political greatness of the empire, must inevitably be
+established--and our interests be sacrificed.
+
+As it is clear, that isolated and single-handed exertion is utterly
+inadequate to more than a grope at the good things arising from the
+present state of disorder, and that we should not, perhaps, get a
+mouthful a-piece; so it is to be feared, that the government and
+legislature might render our contest for them difficult, without an
+active, zealous, and persevering botheration against the reformingly
+disposed individuals of the community, which botheration, to be
+effectual, must be a running fire, and a continued insult towards such
+individuals.
+
+Persuaded that by these means alone the said good things can be
+arrested; and feeling that to arrest them, if possible, is our bounden
+duty, the Members of this Society will immediately throw the country
+into alarm and riot; they have therefore adopted the following
+Resolutions:
+
+1st. That they will use their best exertions to maintain Mr. Murray, and
+to support the due execution of his law.
+
+2nd. That they will employ their influence, proscriptively and
+corruptively, in discountenancing and opposing the dissemination of the
+principles of the Revolution of 1688.
+
+3rd. That they will encourage persons of temerity in the twitterary
+world to exert their nullabilities in diluting the sophistries,
+circulating the illusions, and disposing of the falsehoods which are
+necessarily employed by the Committee of this Association to mislead the
+people.
+
+4th That they will resort to such expedients as Mr. Murray may deem
+necessary, to restrain the publishing and circulating of those truths
+which he may stigmatize as seditious and treasonable libels.
+
+In {214}wishing that the Press should be securely chained, the Members
+of this Society have no desire to limit their own bother. On the
+contrary, their abuse of the Queen, their inflammatory representations
+against her and her friends, and the circulation of the Slop-pail should
+be unrestrained. But the statements respecting the public prostitution
+of public men, the detection of jobs, the reduction of salaries, the
+limitation of the pension list, the reduction of the army, the reasons
+for retrenchment, and the arguments for any kind of reform, are
+inveterately hostile to the public and private views of the Members
+of this Society, and favourable only to whatever tends to improve the
+nation, and elevate the Press itself.--This system must be suppressed.
+
+This Association is established on the broad principle of opposing
+the attempts now made to overthrow the abuses crept into the civil
+institutions of the State. It has, therefore, been determined,
+
+1st. To establish a Fee Fund for the use and application of Mr. Murray,
+as he shall see fit.
+
+2nd. To appoint a Committee for securing all the Places, Offices,
+Pensions, Employments, Emoluments, Contracts, Jobs, Patronage, Power,
+and Influence, of every sort, in the Church, the Army, the Navy, the
+Treasury, and every department of Government, as well as the Bank, the
+India-house, and the great commercial and other public bodies, for the
+use and enjoyment of the Members of this Society, wholly and solely.
+
+3rd. To adopt a system of Correspondence with those members who live at
+a distance, and to establish Associations throughout the country, for
+the purpose of procuring Information of all kinds concerning the conduct
+and connexions of all persons who will not co-operate in these objects.
+
+Most earnestly, therefore, does this Society call upon all to whom a
+maintenance, out of the public purse, is dear, upon those who value the
+places they hold at the expense of the country, or the permanence of
+the present Administration, to join them in promoting these objects and
+principles. IF THE SOCIETY BE ONCE ESTABLISHED, it will be enabled to
+institute AN INQUISITION INTO THE PRIVATE CONCERNS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL
+IN THE KINGDOM--turn the great body of the people into SPIES AND
+INFORMERS upon each other--and, by ANTI-SOCIALIZING THE WHOLE
+COMMUNITY--secure to the Society an ASCENDANCY IN CHURCH AND STATE, and
+an ultimate assumption of all THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT. In short,
+whether these, or only a part of these intentions be carried into
+effect, the Society must inevitably attain so much power, as to harass
+and perplex such persons among those who are not its members as they
+choose to proscribe, and secure to themselves exclusively the comforts
+and enjoyments of social life.

+
+THE NEW DEVIL UPON TWO STICKS.
+
+Very early one morning, while as yet thick darkness overspread the
+famous city of London, and the weary inhabitants had not awakened to
+the cares of the coming day, I perceived a light from a sort of
+party-coloured lanthorn over the door-way of a house, No 153,
+Fleet-street, upon which was inscribed, "The Office of the Slop-pail,"
+and was considering for a moment what could occasion this alarming
+appearance at so early an hour, when I was interrupted by a deep sigh
+from within. I at first thought it was a nocturnal illusion; but being
+interrupted again in the same manner, I took it for something real, and
+could not help crying out--"What devil is it that sighs here?"
+
+"It is I, good Sir," answered a voice which had something in it of
+cynical querulousness; "I have been confined in the _Slop-pail_ for some
+months past, against my will. In this house lives Dr. Slop."
+
+"Slop!" I exclaimed, "what my political godchild?"
+
+"Ah! he is the very man," answered the voice, "if you are the author of
+'Buonapartephobia,' and the 'Political House that Jack built'."
+
+"And {216}they call him Punch. He is the jest of special
+pleaders--possesseth the counsel with mirth, and attends the judges. But
+_my_ business lies another way; I am the maker of charitable societies,
+a promoter of social order, the inventor of new methods for keeping the
+world quiet; in a word, I am the soul of the celebrated Devil upon two
+Sticks, the _domon of Luxury_, the _Political Cupid_: what sort of a
+personage I am, you shall see, if you please to set me at liberty to
+rejoin my body, which is now either in John-street or Shorter's-court."
+
+"Good _Mr. Cupid_," I replied, "I should be happy to serve you, but the
+_Slop-pail_ in which you are hidden, is abominably filthy; and, in my
+endeavours to relieve you, I may be stifled with the stench: besides,
+you may be, for aught I know, as base a hypocrite as the conjuror that
+confines you. I should wish to know how you got in, and by what power he
+holds you, if you are not as vile as he is."
+
+"Ah, do not leave me! For the sake of humanity release me," screamed the
+_Spirit_.
+
+He had scarcely uttered these words, when Dr. Slop, accompanied by
+the _body_ of the daemon, suddenly appeared; and taking the lid off his
+Slop-pail, the Spirit exultingly flew out, and entered his own proper
+person. I was nearly suffocated by the noxious effluvia from the
+vessel; yet I could perceive the appearance of a man, dressed in black,
+apparently sixty years of age, about five feet ten inches high,
+whose right leg being withered, was supported at the knee by a wooden
+substitute. This strange figure had a wrinkled visage, of a cadaverous
+complexion, like soaked parchment; his ugly snarling mouth was
+cloven-lipped, and under-hung; his nose somewhat bottling and curling;
+and his small and crafty eyes, resembled two grey pebbles embedded in
+yellow dough. The top of his head was bald; the hair at the back and
+sides, thin, and cut short, was pomatumed and powdered. He supported
+himself by a crutch, which appeared to me, a gallows; and crossing
+Fleet-street with rapid strides, this _New Devil upon two Sticks_,
+ascending the steps of Walker's Hotel, by the aid of Dr. _Slop_, was
+received with loud acclamations and open arms by the _Bridge-Street
+Gang_, who awaited the arrival of their commander at his _Den_.
+
+"I {217} am," I replied. "But pray how came you in the Slop-pail?"
+
+"Ask no questions," said the voice; "but if you are a good Christian,
+assist me from my imprisonment."
+
+"What are you?" I inquired, somewhat confused at this uncommon
+adventure.
+
+"I am a _daemon_," replied the voice, "and you are come very opportunely
+to free me from a slavery where I languish in idleness, though _I am the
+most active and indefatigable devil in hell_."
+
+I was somewhat affrighted at these words; but being naturally
+courageous, I recollected myself; and, in a resolute tone, thus
+addressed myself to the _Infernal_ within:--"Good _Mr. Devil!_ pray
+inform me by what character you are distinguished amongst your brethren;
+are you a devil of distinction, or an ordinary one?"
+
+"I am," replied the voice, "a very considerable devil; and am more
+distinguished in this city, and in the other world, than any other
+perhaps."
+
+I replied, "You may be the daemon which we call Jonatkins."
+
+"No," replied the spirit; "he is the tormentor of the Livery."
+
+"Are you then Turtle?" I exclaimed.
+
+"Fie!" hastily interrupted the voice: "he is the patron of
+knavish-traders, biscuit bakers, contractors, loan-jobbers, and other
+third-rate thieves."
+
+"Dear devil!--it may be you are Sid.?"
+
+"You deceive yourself," answered the Spirit; "he is the daemon of traps,
+and beaks, and gad-flies, and eaves-droppers."
+
+"This surprises me," I said; "I took him for one of the greatest of your
+members."
+
+"He is one of the least," replied the daemon; "you have no true notion of
+our hell."
+
+"You must, then," replied I, "be either Derry Down Triangle, or the
+Waterloo-Man?"
+
+"Oh! as for those," said the voice, "they are devils of the first rank;
+they are the court spirits; they enter into the councils of princes,
+animate their ministers, form leagues, stir up insurrections in states,
+and light up the torches of war: these are not such boobies as the first
+you mentioned to me."
+
+"Ah! tell me, I entreat you," said I, "what post has Diabolus Regis?"
+
+"He is the froth of the law, the mere foam of the bar," replied the

+WHEREAS, it has been industriously propagated, that I am a member of

+
+WHERE SHALL I DINE?
+
+     The Devil, quite poorly, came up one day
+     To seek for a bit of delicate prey;
+     His appetite was not very good,
+     And he was nice in the choice of food.
+
+     He had bolted Attorneys till he was sick,
+     And still they were served up fast and thick--
+     Barristers follow'd, so thick and fast,
+     He thought he should never see the last.
+
+     Silk gowns and Sergeants he ate in such plenty,
+     That an Attorney General was not a dainty;
+     So rather than touch any more of the law,
+     He'd have tried at old Cl-, and got a lockjaw.
+
+     Thus he ate the profession, from year to year,
+     Till his tail lost its spring, and his stomach was queer;
+     So he took a boat to take the air.
+     And landed at Bridge-street, and paid his fare.
+
+     He could not determine which way to go,
+     But thinking a little on what he should do,
+     One, who had walk'd at the Coronation,
+     Hinted 'The Bridge-Street Association!'
+
+'Ho! ho!' said he, 'I forgot!' and his tail Whisk'd about with delight;
+'I shall _now_ have a meal!
+
+'First there's Murray, ah! ah!--and to take off the taste 'Of the
+_lawyer_--I'll give him an exquisite baste.
+
+'Then there's Sharp!--what a treat! I must speak to the cook!--'And
+Sewell! Reeves! Bicknell! Clarke! Reynolds! Price! Brook! 'Bridges!
+Flower! Sikes! Atkins! Jacks! Poynder! Slop! Croly!--'By my hoof I shall
+_dine_--and at night I'll be jolly!'
+
+     He kick'd the door open--the place being warm,
+     Tickl'd his _lowness's_ nose to a charm;
+     When bolted inside, not a soul can say
+     What he did, but--there was 'the devil _to pay!_'
+     Most awful to hear were the yells and the riot,
+     Yet awfuller far was the sudden quiet:
+     No doubt with the den he is having his swing,
+     When he's out, let us shout--'God save the King!'

+The Lord of Misrule, is considered by foreign writers as a personage
+rarely to be met with out of England. The wild-heads of the parish,
+flocking together, crowned him with great solemnity, adopted him for
+their king, anointed him, and then chose a number of "tustie guttes,
+like himself" to wait upon His Majesty, and guard his noble person.
+These he invested with green, yellow, and other colours; and as though
+they were not gaudy enough, they bedecked themselves with scarfs,
+ribbons, and laces, adding gold rings, precious stones, and other
+jewels. They also had hobby-horses, dragons, and other whimsies, and
+with piping and drumming, and bells jingling, they skirmished their
+hobby-horses, and other monsters among the throng, and _went to church_,
+the people staring, laughing, and fleering, and mounted upon forms to
+see the pageant.--Strutt's Sports, p. 298.

+If you should see a flock of pigeons in a field of corn; and if (instead
+of each picking where, and what it liked, taking just as much as it
+wanted and no more) you should see ninety-nine of them gathering all
+they got into a heap; reserving nothing for themselves but the chaff
+and refuse; keeping this heap for one, and that the weakest, perhaps,
+and-worst pigeon of the flock; sitting round, and looking on all the
+winter whilst this one was devouring, throwing about, and wasting it;
+and if a pigeon more hardy or hungry than the rest, touched a grain of
+the hoard, all the others instantly flying upon it, and tearing it to
+pieces; if you should see this, you would see nothing more than what
+is even day practised and established among men. Among men, you see the
+ninety-and-nine toiling and scraping together a heap of superfluities
+for one; getting nothing for themselves all the while, but a little of
+the coarsest of the provision, which their own labour produces (and this
+one, too, oftentimes the feeblest and worst of the whole set, a child,

+VICTORY OF PETERLOO.
+
+A MONUMENT is proposed to be erected in commemoration of the
+achievements of the MANCHESTER YEOMANRY CAVALRY, on the 16th August,
+1819, against THE MANCHESTER, MEETING of Petitioners for Redress of
+Wrongs and Grievances, and Reform in Parliament. It has been called a
+_battle_, but erroneously; for, the multitude _was unarmed_, and made
+no resistance to the heroes _armed_; there was no contest--it was a
+_victory_; and has accordingly been celebrated in triumph. This event,
+more important in its consequences than the Battle of Waterloo, will be
+recorded on the monument, by simply stating the names of the officers
+and privates successfully engaged, on the one side; and on the other,
+the names of the persons killed, and of the six hundred maimed and
+wounded in the attack and pursuit; also the names of the captured, who
+are still prisoners in His Majesty's goals; with the letter of thanks,
+addressed to the victors, by His Majesty's Command.
+
+It {226}is further proposed, that Meagher's Trumpet shall be melted
+down, and that the brass shall be carefully applied to the purpose of
+multiplying an appropriate design to be distributed among the warriors
+who distinguished themselves on the occasion, and to be worn by each as

+This Dagger my sceptre, and Persecution my crown!'
+
+King Henry IV.
+
+*****
+
+[NOTE.--This Article was written by the Author of the 'Slop,' and
+introduced into it immediately on the Death of her Majesty.]
+
+*****
+
+Her Majesty _died by the dagger of Persecution_. Her Persecutors,
+unable to conceal the fact that _she has been hurried to her Grave_,
+hypocritically whine over "the wounds themselves have made," and, like
+the flying felon, who, to elude his pursuers, cries "Stop thief!" they
+huddle up their knives, and charge her friends and advisers with being
+her destroyers! "_Kissing the gashes that bloodily do yawn upon their
+faces_," they call her defenders and protectors "a faction" and charge
+this _faction_ with being her assassins! Execrable villains! Was it this
+"faction" brought her from Germany? Was she _married_ by this "faction?"
+Were her _conjugal rights denied her_ by this "faction?" Was she
+deserted and _licensed_ to her "_inclinations_" by this "faction?" Was
+she _spied upon_ by this "faction?" Was _her character impeached_ by
+this "faction:" Was _the late King's friendship_ for her at that period
+caused by a "faction?" Was _her child_ torn from her by a "faction?" Was
+_she tricked out of the country_ by a "faction:" Was her name _omitted
+upon her daughter's coffin_ by a "faction?" Was the {229}"honourable"
+_Milan Commission_ issued by the "faction?" Was the horde of miscreants
+who vomited forth their _disgusting and obscene perjuries_ against
+her--were these collected by this "faction?" Was her _Trial_ in the
+House of Lords, amid the gibes and jests, and scoffs and sneers, and the
+taunt of _Ferocity_--was this the act of "faction?" Was the spiritual
+and temporal _refusal _ to place her name in _the Liturgy_ the act of
+this "faction?" Was the _refusal to crown her_, or to assign her a place
+in the ceremonial of her husband's Coronation, or to permit her presence
+to witness it, or _her expulsion from the doors_, or the rancorous
+_insults_ she sustained that day, were these from the "faction?" NO!
+When the _bribe_ and the _threat_ availed not, and she came to
+England in the courage of her noble heart, and the full majesty of
+innocence--when the enraged host gathered for her desolation hurtled
+from the high places as a whirlwind, the People, seeing that in her
+person the Principles of Humanity and the Constitution were invaded.,
+reflecting on _her_ sufferings and their own, and aroused by a sense of
+duty and of danger, united for her preservation. Animated by the Justice
+of their cause, and _headed by_ the Press, they read a moral lesson to
+her deadly persecutors, at which they turned pale, and from which they
+shrunk back in dismay! The archers shot her sorely, but the People saved
+her from swift destruction. This offence was never to be forgiven. They
+who had elevated the Queen above the craft of _Priestianity_ and the
+cruelty of _Court Selfishness_, were more exposed to attack than her
+whom they had preserved. Her enemies rallied to assail her friends.
+If we seek the names of the assailants from among the Members of the
+Bridge-Street Gang, a formidable list might be selected. There we should
+find the slanderous Blacow, and at the head of the muster-roil might
+be placed Slop. This "_wretch_" and his Gang, commenced _Prosecutions_
+against the humblest of the Queen's friends, while the _hireling_
+presses foamed into a settled _Persecution_ against her and them. The
+Slop-pail frothed up its malignant spume; official poison _Croked_ forth
+from the Courier; the organ of the _Fashionable World_ discharged his
+filthy ribaldry; and the assaults of a band of _obscene wretches_,
+Sunday after Sunday, were defended and aided by the prostituted pen of
+Slop. In violation of the sanctity which even savages attach to _the
+chambers of death_, some of the heartless fiends who dogged her through
+life, and hurried her "_to the house appointed far all living_," pursue
+their remorseless warfare beyond the grave. Others (following the
+example of their abettors, who, in mockery of death itself, put the
+signs of mourning upon the outsides of their houses, while they chuckle
+with joy within), _now_ that they have consummated their crime, make
+a merit of not preying upon her dead body! Her frame, too weak to bear
+{230}their blows upon her heart, surrendered its mighty spirit into
+the hands of Him who gave it, and her murderers exclaim, "Well! she is
+_gone--at last_; let us bury all animosities _with her!_" BRUTAL TAUNT!
+They hoisted the black flag of unrelenting and deadly hate against her
+as long as she lived--they have exterminated her, and they hang out
+a white one, crying Peace! Peace! where there is no Peace! They have
+floated themselves to the favour of their employers in her blood, and
+the guilty villains, retreating to their den to celebrate their horrible
+triumph, pray us not to disturb their secret orgies with our clamours!
+
+It is said, that only a few hours before she ceased to breathe, she
+spoke of the modes her savage adversaries had successfully put in
+practice, of separating worthy people from her society: one of which
+was, _to deter them from visiting her, by propagating the most atrocious
+calumnies against her, and them_. Never was human being attacked
+with more malignant ferocity by _the Furies of the Press_, than this
+noble-minded and innocent lady--never will they perpetrate a fouler
+Murder! _Instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. O, my soul!
+come not thou into their secret!_
+
+Her dying declaration, "THEY HAVE DESTROYED ME!" will be remembered long
+after her destroyers. Her blood is on their heads. They allowed her no
+peace on earth. _Now--she hears not the voice of the oppressor--she is
+where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary are at rest_.
+
+In fixedness of courage immovable, in clearness of intellect unrivalled,
+she shone on earth as the polar-star in the firmament of her sex, and in
+her utmost need, they circled round her as the sun of their glory.
+Her wrongs and her fate are indelibly registered in our annals. Honest
+historians of after-times will narrate them truly, and unpensioned Bards
+embalm her to posterity.
+
+The Queen's dying request was, to lie in the same tomb with her
+child--sad experience taught her to anticipate a refusal from her
+relentless enemies!
+
+     "Let her be buried in the King's highway,
+     For on her heart they trod, the while she liv'd;
+     And, buried once, why not upon her head?"--
+
+Men and Women of England! have ye not a little Grave, Her _Spirit_ was
+with the People while she lived--her body belongs to them now that she
+is no more.

+
+THE DEATH-LIGHT OF CAROLINE'S HALL,
+
+
+      The death-lights glimmer in Caroline's hall,
+      Where strangers have spread the funeral pall;
+      Relations by blood from her have fled,
+      And other hands have pillow'd her head--
+      Vet a halo round her temples plays,
+      Brighter than earthly crowns can raise!
+      When her heart-strings broke, no husband was there,
+      With a bursting breast, and a holy prayer--
+      Her Royal Spouse was _on the sea_,
+      In glittering pomp and pageantry;
+      With streamers pointing to Erin's shore,
+      Where wassail, and wine, and wild uproar,
+      And the noisy mirth of a motley band,
+      Were to drown the sighs of a sorrowing land!
+      The prospect was bright on her Bridal Day,
+      And English hearts were light and gay;
+      Alas!'twas the gleam of a wintry sky,
+      When dark clouds come, and the storm is nigh.
+
+      The eye to bless, and the hand to save,
+      Were not the gifts that the altar gave!
+      She never knew the sweet control
+      That wins, that guards the cherish'd soul;
+      But met the keen repulsive glance
+      From furious eye-balls turn'd askance!--
+      A _licensed outcast_, bade to roam,
+      No husband's bed--no friend--no home--
+      The treacherous _Spy_ in ambush placed,
+      Our British name defiled, disgraced!
+
+
+{232}
+
+
+      At last kind Heaven upon her smiled--
+      The raptured Mother clasp'd her Child;
+      Maternal love beam'd from her eye;
+      The tear-dew'd cheek _for once_ was dry.
+      But devilish hate could ne'er endure
+      A joy so sweet, a bliss so pure;
+      And the cherub-smile that cheer'd her life,
+      Was rudely torn from the widow'd wife!
+
+      But who shall tell--or who shall believe,
+      That malice could deeper wrongs conceive?
+      O, learn the deed from the daughter's bier--
+      In Judgment bid her _Tomb_ appear;
+      On the dark vault let the day-beam shine;
+      Behold the broken lincage-line!
+
+      The Record rests on the sculptured stone--
+      _Robb'd  of the Mother's name_ alone.
+      The surpliced Priest made no appeal--
+      His Earthly Masters check'd his zeal--
+      From those who bent their heads to Heaven,
+      To pray that mortals be forgiven;
+      No kind behest for her was sent,
+      No Priestly hand to her was lent;
+      But when, at length, she lifeless fell,
+      Rose the _hollow_ sound of _their_ passing bell!
+      Well fed, well paid, to blast her name,
+      Swarms of Italian Monsters came;
+      And English Monsters, fouler still,
+      Obey'd their Masters' deadly will!
+      The fiends have chased her day by day,
+      Her _Sabbath_ death-bed was their prey!--
+      These are not men!--they never press'd
+      The life-streams from a human breast;
+      Nor are they woman-born--but thrown
+      From some vile source to man unknown!
+      She struggled long--she nobly rose
+      Triumphant o'er her rancorous foes;
+      Bravely she stood the lengthen'd strife
+      For honest fame--more dear than life--
+      But ah! the nerve, too finely strung,
+      Was wrench'd, was torn, was rudely wrung--
+      She won the prize--_that_ strength was given,
+      Then burst from earth to kinder Heaven!

+THE TAXGATHERERS KNOCKING.
+
+(In Imitation of 'The Woodpecker tapping.')
+
+     I knew by the wig that so gracefully curl'd
+     Above a high cape, that the ------ was there,
+     And I said, if there's _ton_ to be found in the world,
+     The Dandy of fashion will look for it here--
+     Half the shops were shut up, and I heard not a sound,
+     But Taxgath'rers knocking, while going their dull round!
+
+     And here, in Pall Mall, near the Park, I exclaim'd,
+     With a _Bomb_, oh, how big! and how gay to the eye,
+     Yachts, cots, and what-nots, all be-gilt, and be-famed,
+     What a strange mode of life!--and I groan'd out a sigh!--
+     While the shops are half shut, and we scarce hear a sound,
+     But Taxgath'rers knocking, while going their dull round!
+
+     On pretence of Necessity, frequent large dips
+     In my now emptied pockets have made me repine;
+     In vain does Retrenchment rise up to my lips,
+     The ------ must _live_, though starvation be mine--
+     Though my shop be deserted, and heard not a sound,
+     But Taxgath'rers knocking, while going their dull round!

+A PERTICULAR FAC.
+
+We hae muckle fear for the weal o' the Cantry o'Breetan, frae the great
+deal o' ill huiks, like unto the deil's buiks, and the like o'that. We
+hae juist glowred o'er a wee bnikee, a verra bad buik indeed--a verra
+bad buifc. An' we are verra sorey to say, there are money o' sic bad
+buiks, fu' o-' daflin, trying to thraw contemp upo' the thron an'
+the halter, ca'ing the Lord Provost a full, an' the Lord Advocate nae
+better, and a' the great folk pawkie loons; an' we can compare't to
+naething but the muckle black de'il fiddling thro' the toon. As sic
+is the case, it's nae for the siller we're writing, but oot o' pure
+lawyellty an' patriotism for the guid o' the Cantry. Gin the silly
+peeple keun'd what wa'd be guid for them, they wa'd nae fash themsels
+aboot learning to read ava, or read naething but our Maggy-zeen, an' we
+hope to see the day whan there'll be naething but our Maggy-zeen read
+thro' a' the Cantry; for we are fermly persuaded that the folk are
+turning o'er learned, an' we are aye endeavoring to write them doon to
+the state o' happy ignorance an' respectfu' submission that they war in,
+whan the guid-wife wad say to her ain guid man, 'Git up, Donald, and be
+hangit, an' dinna anger the laird!' It's naething but right and proper
+that King Geordie an' his _Mean-astres_ s'ud juist hae their ain gait
+o't in a' things 'as the Cat had wi' the haggis:--ate the pudden, an'
+gaed to sleep i' the bag!' For an it be na sae, we're muckle afeerd that
+his most gracious _Mad-jestie_ winna be aible to eat his parritch, an'
+scrach himsel' in safety.
+
+N. B. We hae great help _in preevat_ frae Sir Wattie, who
+_conn'd-his-ends de'el-hight-fully_, an' his guid-son, Maister
+Lackheart, is our perticular freend an' contra-booter; an' Maister
+Blackguard drives that 'Jacobite Relic' Jamie Hogg, the aye-trick
+Sheepherd, juist as he likes. And sae we'll hae mony delectfu' extracts
+fra' the buiks prentit in Niddry's Wynd, an' a wallet o' ballets

+Order of Turncoats, and of an eminent Welch Obscurity {236}
+
+A NEW VISION,
+
+By ROBERT SOUTHEY, Esq.! LL.D.!!
+
+Poet Laureate!!! &c.!!!! &c.!!!!! &c.!!!!!!
+
+  'Twas at that sober hour when the light of day is receding,
+  I alone in Slop's Office was left; and, in trouble of spirit,
+  I mused on old times, till my comfort of heart had departed.
+  Pensile at least I shall be, methought--_sus. per coll._ surely!
+  And therewithal felt I my neckcloth; when lo! on a sudden,
+  There came on my eyes, hanging mid-way 'twixt heav'n and St. James's,
+  The book call'd the _Pension List_. There did I see my name written,
+  Yea ev'n in that great book of life! It was sweet to my eyelids,
+  As dew from a tax! and _Infinity_ seem'd to be open,
+  And I said to myself, 'Now a blessing be on thee, my Robert!
+  And a blessing on thee too my pen! and on thee too my sack-but!'
+  Now, as thus I was standing, mine ear heard a rap at the street-door,
+  Ev'n such as a man might make bold with, half gentle half footman;
+  And lo! up the stairs, dotting one, one, after the other,
+  Came the leg of a wonder, hop! hop! through the silence of evening;
+  And then a voice snarling from the throat of the him they call Murray,
+  Who said, as he hopp'd, 'Must the _Muck Times_ be mournful at _all_ times?
+  Lo, SLOP, I've a sop, for your mop; yes--hop! hop! I've a _story_,
+  With which I'll light _you_ up, if you'll light me, Slop, up another.'
+  'Don't be so _bold!_  methought a _larking_ voice from the skylight
+  Answer'd, and therewithal I felt fear as of frightening;
+  Knowing not why, or how, my soul seem'd night-cap to my body.
+  Then came again the voice, but then with a louder squalling--
+  'Go to hell,' said the voice. 'What!,' said I, inwardly, 'I go!'
+  When lo, and behold, a great wonder!--I, I, Robert Southey,
+  Even I, Robert Southey, Esquire, LL.D. Poet Laureate,
+  Member of the Royal Spanish Academy, of the
+  Ditto of history too, of the Institute Royal
+  Of Dutchland, and eke of the Welch Cymmodorion wonder,
+  Author of Joan of Arc, of much Jacobin Verse, and Wat Tyler,
+  Et caetera, et caetera, et caetera, et caetera, et caetera,
+  (For it's unknown all the things that I am, and have written),
+  I, as I said before, ev'n I, by myself, I,
+  Unlike, in that single respect, to my great master Dante,
+  (For Virgil went with him to help him), but like in all others,
+  Rush'd up into Paradise boldly, which angels themselves don't,
+  Yea ev'n into Paradise rush'd I, through showers of _flimsies_,
+  All as good as the Bank, and for hailstones I found there were _Sovereigns_,
+  Spick and span new; and anon was a body all glorified,
+  Even all the great Host both of Church and State, Crosses, Grand Crosses,
+  Commanders, Companions, and Knights of all possible orders,
+  Commons and Peers, the souls of the sold, whom Pensions made perfect,
+
+
+DOCTOR
+
+[Illustration: 245]
+
+[Illustration: 246]
+
+
+Flocking {239}on either hand, a multitudinous army,
+
+Coronet, Crosier, and Mitre, in grand semicircle inclining,
+
+Tier over tier they took their place, aloft in the distance,
+
+Far as the sight could pierce, Stars, Garters, and Gold Sticks.
+
+From among the throng bless'd, all full dress'd, in a Field Marshal's
+uniform, Rose one, with a bow serene, who, aloft, took his station;
+
+Before him the others crouch'd down, all inclining in concert,
+
+Bent like a bull-rush sea, with a wide and a manifold motion:
+
+There he stood in the midst alone; and in front was the presence,
+
+With periwig curling and gay, and a swallow-cut coat-tail.
+
+Hear ye of long ears! Lo! in that place was _Canning_,
+
+He who strengthens the Church and State, with his Manton's
+hair-triggers, And sneers on his lips, and eyes leering, and _rupturous_
+speeches;
+
+With him Fletcher Franklin I saw, and Sir Robert, my namesake,
+
+Worthy the name! even Baker, Sir Robert, of Bow-street;
+
+And Gifford, with face made of lachrymose, savage and feeble,
+
+Who delighteth with Croker to cut up men, women, and young men,
+
+And therefore did Hazlitt cut him up, and so he stood mangled.
+
+There, too, brocaded and satin'd, stood smiling and bowing,
+
+With Court-mask'd appearance, the Fearful One, him of Triangle!
+
+And there, too, the Foolish one, far-conscienced, the Doctor!
+
+And I saw in the vision, the Generals, Sol. and Attorney;
+
+And Sacchi, was there too and him surnamed _Non mi Ricordo_;
+
+And Mad'moiselle Daemon, and Barbara Kress, and Rastelli;
+
+And Mister, and Mister-ess Jessop, and eke the Miss Jessups;
+
+And Mar-Ai' H--, and M-ss C-m, also;
+
+And Mrs. Fitz--t, and C--ch; and in sooth all the Beauties
+
+Of the 'Georgian age,' except Robinson Mary,
+
+Whom great G. first sent to the D--, and little G. after,
+
+Namely Gifford, who smote at her sorely, yea, ev'n at her crutches,
+
+So that she fell in her grave, and said, 'Cover me kind earth!'
+
+And the great minded Cl---- was there, looking like to Behemoth;
+
+And the Lauderdale disinterested, great Scotch standard-bearer,
+
+And there, too, the king's much-conspired-against-stationer, King,
+stood, The Lord Mayor of Dublin, who sendeth his Majesty's whiskey;
+
+And the Members of Orange Clubs all, anti-Irish shullelahs;
+
+And a heav'nly assembly of parsons, some, lately, expectant--
+
+Parson Hey? Parson B. called, otherwise, Parson Black-cow, divine brute!
+Parson C. alias Croly, or Crawley, or Coronaroly,
+
+Who putteth forth innocent pamphlet? on pure coronations,
+
+Expecteth Milleniums, and laudeth the Blackguard of Blackwood's,
+
+And looketh both lofty and slavish, a dreaminess high-nosed,
+
+As if he had, under the chin been, by worshipful men, chuck'd;
+
+And great Parson Eat--n V--slone, who'd swallow any thing surely;
+
+And the _Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry_, riding down women;
+
+And Alderman Atkins, with Curtis, that big belly-gerent;
+
+And Flower, and Bridges, C. Smith, and the rest of the Bridge Gang;
+
+All cloth'd for the heav'nly occasion in their best Indictments!
+
+And there all the Lottery-contractors, and such like, were also;
+
+And there {240}Mr. Strong-i-th'-arm, his Majesty's Seal-Engraver, was
+also; And they all who forged, lo! the French Assignats, were there
+also;
+
+And the Court-newsman also was there--
+
+(The Spirit now bids me write prose, but that, you know's all the same
+thine;) And Colburn with his Muck Monthly Magazine was there;
+
+And Ward, the Animal Painter, with a piece of spoil'd canvas, 35 feet
+wide by 21, was there;
+
+But Bird who, most disloyally, died of a broken heart, was not there;
+
+And the Duke of Wellington, with the Sword of State, was there;
+
+And Sir John Silvester, the Recorder of London, and his assistant, were
+there; And Messrs. Uundell and Bridge, the Jewellers who repair'd the
+Crown, were there;
+
+And the Pigtails out off from his Majesty's guards were there;
+
+And the Guards themselves in their neat uniforms, and new white
+gaiters, were there;
+
+And the State Coach and Coachmen and Horses were there;
+
+And the other Ministers of State in their new State Liveries were there;
+And the Clerks of the Council and the two Silver Inkstands were there;
+And all the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange were there;
+
+And all the Gentlemen of the Shipping Interest were there;
+
+And all the Gentlemen of the Landed Interest were there;
+
+But all the people without Interest were not there;
+
+And all the Peers who voted the Queen of England guilty were-there;
+
+And all the Ministerial Members of the House of Commons were there; And
+Dr. Slop with 'fresh fig-leaves for Adam and Ere' was there;
+
+And the Royal Proclamation against Vice and Immorality was pasted up
+there. And behold, while I read it, thinking to put it, excellent as it
+was, Into language still better,
+
+Methought, in my vision, I dreamt--dream within dream intercircled--And
+seem'd to be hurried away, by a vehement whirlwind,
+
+To Flames and Sulphurous Darkness, where certain of my Minor Poems were
+scorching,
+
+Yet unconsum'd, in penal fire; and so was I purified
+
+For deeds done in the flesh, being, through them, burnt by proxy!
+
+There, too, roasted the Bishop of Osnaburgh's Doxy,
+
+But the Righteous-one, _the Prince Bishop himself_, was in Heaven;
+
+And two Boots were there, as a burnt-offering for peccadillo,
+
+But the Owner thereof was a glorified spirit above,
+
+Where, as in duty bound, I had sung to him 'Twang-a-dillo,
+
+He that loves a pretty girl, is a hearty good fellow!'
+
+And in Torment (but here the blest rage of the bard returns on me)
+
+And in torment was She, who, on earth, had been also tormented By Him
+who is never, nor can be accused, of aught vicious;
+
+With her were the friends of my childhood--not leaving out Coleridge;
+And they who were kill'd by the Manchester Yeomanry also;
+
+And Truth, the whole Truth, nothing but the Truth, suffered the burning.
+Then I turn'd my meek eyes, in their gladness, to Heaven, and my place
+there, And ascending, I flew back to Paradise, singing of Justice;
+
+Where, fill'd with divine expectation of merited favour,
+
+{241}
+
+The gathering host look'd to him, in whom all their hopes center'd,
+
+As the everlasting hand; and I, too, press'd forward to obtain--
+
+But old recollections withheld me;--down, down, dropp'd my sack-but, And
+my feet, methought, slid, and I fell precipitate. Starting,
+
+Then I awoke, with my hair up, and lo! my young days were before me,
+Dark yet distinct; but instead of the voice of the honest,
+
+I hoard only Murray's yap', yap! and hap! hop! through the silence of
+evening: Yap! hop! and hop! yap!--and hence came the hop, step, and
+jump, of my verses.

+BOROUGH-BRIDGE REFORM.
+
+The the Ancient and Honourable Corporation of Boroughmongers, in
+Parlaverment assembled, THE PETITION of the Ancient and Honourable
+Corporation of London Bridge in Arches assembled,
+
+Hombly sheweth,
+
+That, for some time past, an opinion has prevailed, that your
+Petitioners' _Arches_ are narrow and decayed, and that their continuance
+in their present state is attended with an unnecessary annual expense,
+and loss of lives.
+
+That, in consequence of this opinion, a large body of persons assembled
+for Bridge Reform, have insisted upon the necessity of widening your
+Petitioners' _Arches_, and have actually erected, in your Petitioners'
+neighbourhood, a new bridge, with arches calculated to give free course
+to the whole tide, and a safe and uninterrupted public communication--to
+the great scandal of your Petitioners.
+
+That your Petitioners' Arches, and the Borough Arches of your Honourable
+Structure, are the production of one and the same mind.
+
+That your Honourable Structure being a model of perfection, your
+Petitioners have, therefore, a right to presume that their Bridge is
+also a model of perfection.
+
+That your Petitioners, respectfully referring to the enlightened
+declaration of the Emperor of Austria, that what is ancient is good,
+humbly beg leave to represent, that it is essential to the permanence of
+your Honourable Structure in its present state, to stop the progress of
+all enlargement.
+
+And your Petitioners humbly pray, that the Right Hon. George Canning may
+be assigned advocate in their behalf, to convince the Public that your
+Petitioners' Arches are exactly as numerous, as narrow, and as decayed
+as they ought-to-be; which office your Petitioners have no doubt the said
+Right Hon. Gent. will gladly undertake, upon being allowed to receive an
+ample toll.
+
+AND YOUR PETITIONERS, as in uniformity found, will ever pray for Your
+Honourable Structure.

+Such are the virtues of this healing Balm for assuaging misery and

+
+SCHOOLS FOR ALL.
+
+USEFUL INSTRUCTION having hitherto been chiefly confined to the
+Productive Classes, and many in the Upper Ranks still remaining in a
+deplorable state of ignorance, it is intended to establish SCHOOLS FOR
+THE HIGHER ORDERS, in order that, by being equally well-informed with
+the rest of the community, the plea of ignorance may no longer be
+allowed as an excuse for want of knowledge in the duties of life.
+Further information may be had of the printer.

+UNIVERSAL SAFETY LAMP.
+
+"One unclouded blaze of living light."
+
+THE COMBINATION AGAINST THIS LAMP renders it necessary to state some
+of its advantages. The best of the Common Parish Lamps, so universally
+complained of for their dulness, do little more than render darkness
+visible, and assist the perpetration of crime. If their forms are
+occasionally varied by lacquer and varnish, and rendered pleasing to
+the eye, their light is not improved in the smallest degree; and they
+require a multitude of hands to feed and trim them, at a most enormous
+expense; while THE "UNIVERSAL SAFETY" LAMP diffuses a brilliant and
+steady lustre, and a genial warmth equal to the solar beam. It eclipses
+every other brightness. The only inconvenience complained of by the
+nervous and fastidious is, that its flame sometimes rises during a
+storm, and emits a small portion of smoke, but this vapour ceases almost
+immediately after the agitation has subsided. _It is constructed on an
+unerring principle of Self-regulation; it cannot be extinguished by any
+power on earth, and will Last for Ever_. {245}

+A CAUTION.
+
+A SLOW BUT SURE POISON, which gradually insinuates itself into the
+system, and will utterly destroy a human being, is now making frightful
+ravages. Its common name is CANT. Some _blacks_ deliver it in the lump,
+and a certain _lawyer_ has been seen to part with it in the form of
+globules. It is most subtle when laminated, and unfortunately is to be
+found in that state spread over a large portion of the community. NOTICE
+IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the effluvia from the infected is contagious.
+
+N. B. The most certain symptom of the presence of the poison is,
+prostration of mind.
+
+"Please to remember the _Grotto!_"

+
+     He 'turn'd his back upon himself
+     And straight to 'Lunnun' came,
+     To two two-sided Lawyers
+     With tidings of the same,
+     That our own land must 'prostrate stand'
+     Unless we praise his name--
+     For his  practical' comfort and joy!
+
+     "Go fear not," said his L-p

+     "Go draw your quills, and draw six Bills,
+     "Put out yon blaze of light:
+     "I'm able to advance you,
+     "Go stamp it out then quite--
+     "And give me some 'features' of joy!"
+
+     {251}
+
+     The Lawyers at those tidings
+     Rejoiced much in mind,
+     And left their friends a-staring
+     To go and raise the wind,
+     And straight went to the Taxing-men
+     And said "the Bills come find--
+     "For 'fundamental' comfort and joy!
+
+     The Lawyers found majorities
+     To do as they did say,
+     They found them at their mangers

+THE DOCTOR
+
+A PARODY WRITTEN BY THE RIGHT HONORABLE GEORGE CANNING, M. P.
+
+Lord FOLKESTONE confessed that there Had been a smile on his countenance
+at one part of the right honorable gentleman (Mr. CANNING)'s speech, and
+it seemed to him very extraordinary, even after the reconciliation that
+had taken place, to hear the right honorable gentleman stand up for the
+talents of that poor "Doctor" (Lord SIDMOUTH), who has so long been
+the butt of his most bitter and unsparing ridicule (_loud laughter and
+shouts of hear, hear_). Whether in poetry or prose, the great object of
+his derision, and that for want of ability and sense, was the noble lord
+whom he (Mr. CANNING) had so strenuously defended that night; and now
+forsooth, he wondered that any person could object to confide unlimited
+power in the hands of a person, according to his own former opinions,
+so likely to be duped and misled (hear, hear). Yes, the house would
+remember the lines in which, at different times, the right honorable
+gentleman (Mr CANNING), had been pleased to panegyrize his (Mr.
+CANNING's) noble friend (Lord SIDMOUTH) of which the following were not
+the worst:--
+
+     "I showed myself prime Doctor to the country;
+     My ends attain'd, my only aim has been
+     To keep my place, and gild my humble name."--
+
+(A laud laugh)
+
+Yes, this was the view the right honorable gentleman had once drawn of
+his noble friend, who was then described by him thus:--
+
+"My name's the Doctor; on the Berkshire hills," &c.
+
+[See the Parody below for the remainder of Lord Folkestone's
+Quotation--For his Lordship's Speech, see Evans's Debates, 1817, p.
+1568.]
+
+     My name's THE DOCTOR; on the Berkshire hills
+     My father purged his patients--a wise man,
+     Whose constant care was to increase his store,
+     And keep his eldest son--myself--at home.
+     But I had heard of Politics, and long'd
+     To sit within the Commons' House, and get
+     A place, and luck gave what my sire denied.
+
+{254}
+
+     Some thirteen years ago, or ere my fingers
+     Had learn'd to mix a potion, or to bleed,
+     _I flatterd Pitt: I cring'd, and sneak'd, and faun'd,_
+     And thus became the Speaker. I alone,
+     With pompous gait, and peruke full of wisdom,
+     Th' unruly members could control, or call The House to order.
+
+     Tir'd of the Chair, I sought a bolder flight,
+     And, grasping at his power, I struck my friend,
+     Who held that place which now I've made my own.
+     Proud of my triumph, I disdain'd to court
+     The patron hand which fed me--or to seem
+     Grateful to him who rais'd me into notice.
+
+     And, when the King had call'd his Parliament
+     With all my fam'ly crowding at my heels,
+     My brothers, cousins, followers and my son,
+     I show'd myself Prime Doctor to the country.
+     _My ends attain'd my only aim has been
+     To keep my place--and gild my humble name!_

+
+THE AUTHOR OF THE POLITICAL HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT, perceiving the

+himself, respect-fully states, that, induced by nearly forty years
+of the most confidential intimacy with Mr. HONE, and by the warmest
+friendship and affection for him and his family, he originally selected
+him for his publisher exclusively; that he has not suffered, nor will
+he suffer, a line of his writing to pass into the hands of any other
+Bookseller; and that his last, end owing to imperative claims upon his
+pen of a higher order, possibly his very last production in that way,

+Withdrawn from the Press,
+
+A LETTER TO THE SOLICITOR GENERAL. By WILLIAM HONE.
+
+Since the announcement of this Publication, the attack of the
+Solicitor-General upon the Juries of my Country has drawn down upon that
+Gentleman, within the walls of Parliament, such deserved animadversion
+as to render superfluous any interference on my part.
+
+Two years have elapsed since I broke away from the toils; and it seems
+the escape of the destined victim is never to be forgiven! The cause of
+which the Solicitor-General is unexpectedly the gratuitous advocate, has
+taken appropriate refuge in the snug precincts of Gatton. There let it
+wither!
+
+The verdicts of my Juries require no other vindication than a faithful
+recital of the grounds on which they were founded. From the period
+at which those verdicts were pronounced, and with a view to that
+vindication, I have been unremittingly employed in the collection and
+arrangement of rare and curious materials which the Solicitor-General's
+attack will induce me to extend to
+
+A COMPLETE HISTORY OF PARODY.
+
+This History I purpose to bring out, very speedily, _with extensive
+graphic illustrations,_ and I flatter myself it will answer the various
+purposes of satisfying the expectations of my numerous and respectable
+subscribers--of justifying my own motives in publishing the Parodies--of
+throwing a strong light upon the presumable motives of my prosecutors in
+singling me out from my Noble and Right Honorable Fellow Parodists--of
+holding up Trial by Jury to the increased love and veneration of the
+British People--and above all, of making every calumny upon the verdicts
+of three successive, honorable, and intelligent Juries recoil upon
+the slanderer, be he who he may, that dares to asperse them. W. HONE.
+Ludgate-Hill, March, 1820.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
