Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eighth Commandment Justice is the queen of the virtues, and the durable policy of men and nations. To urge on behalf of justice, that, in literary commerce, and in all other trades and transactions, she pays best in the long run, is to lower her; for if she did not pay at all, our arms ought to fly open to her, so good and beautiful a thing she is. Unluckily I have to plead for her, not to angels, but to members of Parliament. Now these are mixed men, and must be handled accordingly. Some of them can rise to noble sentiments; others can rise, with a little shove from the feathered lever, to longsighted views of national interest; and others can rise to nothing; they represent a large constituency. Those two classes in Parliament and the nation will now be invited to cleanse the country of an unwise iniquity. Should the appeal fail, I shall have to go on blushing for the people I was born among. Still I consent to fail, if I cannot convince my men of honour that the act in question is unjust and perfidious, and my men of sense that it is shallow, unstatesman like, and impolitic.
