Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A View of the Natural, Political, and Commercial Circumstances of Ireland Under a well established government, exempt from popular controul, an accurate and comprehensive knowledge of the various circumstances of a country, on the part of those who exercise the principal functions of the state, does not appear to be indispensably necessary, when the obedience of the people is the sole, or paramount object of concern. To insure that obedience, a due proficiency in the art of government is the chief, or, perhaps, the only requisite. To promote the prosperity of a nation, a much more diversified knowledge, than that of the mere statesman, must unquestionably be attained. Except in a country, where the nature of the system of civil policy authorises public discussions of the conduct of individuals in power; where popular dissatisfaction may be expressed with impunity; where the language of censure may safely be employed; where a spirit of resistance to oppressive or arbitrary measures may easily be generated or roused; and where, consequently, there exists a necessity or observing a considerable degree of deference to the prevailing sentiments of the governed, a comparatively limited and imperfect knowledge, of the circumstances of a country, will generally suffice for the prosecution of the business of government: human ingenuity seldom failing to dissipate emergent embarrassments; and the habitual craft of statesmen usually providing the means of reconciling the nation at large to almost any measure, or system, whether the result of policy, or passion.
