Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Observations on the Present State of Affairs: In a Letter to a Member of the House of Commons It is now above thirty years since I first was employ´d in this publick station, and I have constantly observed that men undo themselves at their first setting out in the world, by running inconsiderately into some Party. They often fall into a wrong one, which is most likely, because there is always more art, and more design, in that quarter, than in the other; and they are then reduced to the melancholy necessity of continuing for ever in the wrong way, or of losing their characters by changing it for another. To avoid this inconvenience, you should guard yourself, as much as possible you can, against the spirit of faction, which is always prevalent in a country of liberty. It spreads itself thro´ all ages, and all degrees of men; but it is more especially predominant in young country gentlemen like yourself, that time of life being commonly best pleased with any thing that favours of opposition or ridicule. It would preserve a great number of persons from being seduced by this natural infirmity, if they would confider, that it may prove of as ill consequence to a nation for ever to oppose the measures of a prince, as to, abandon oneself entirely to his arbitrary Will.
