Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Letters of Marius, or Reflections Upon the Peace: The East-India Bill, and the Present Crisis While this has uniformly been your public conduct, your private example seems destined to rescue the injured term of Patriotism from the unmerited ridicule which had been brought upon it by the treachery of its pretended friends. While every rash adventurer, while every ruined libertine, could find a beneficial trade in duping the credulity of the people; while every broken author, gambler, pimp, or parasite, when deprived of the hope of subsisting by his honest industry, could promise himself a decent subsistence, if not the enjoyment of his favourite vices, by enlisting himself under the banners of the popular cause, it was no wonder that cause should be so often abandoned and betrayed as we have seen it. But, if we lament the misapplication of the public confidence, in a variety of instances, we must, at least, allow that the evil has not been unproductive of utility. There is a limit beyond which credulity itself will not submit to be deceived; and that limit the English people have happily attained.
