Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sober Reflections on the Seditious and Inflammatory Letter of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke, to a Noble Lord: Addressed to the Serious Consideration of His Fellow Citizens As the following pages are intended, in some sort, as a reply to the inflammatory misrepresentations and incongruous principles of a recent pamphlet, from the elegant and abusive pen of Mr. Burke, it might have been expected, perhaps, that I should have followed the example of my antagonist, by throwing my observations into the form of a letter, and addressing it either to some great personage, or to that antagonist himself. But it has long been a principle with me, that, as far as it is practicable, at least, in the state of society in which we live, our open profession and our real object should always be the same; and I have been frequently disposed to suspect that all colourable pretences, all habits of subterfuge, even in circumstances of the most apparent indifference, have a tendency to weaken the moral feelings, and produce a bias of mind eminently unfavourable to rectitude of judgment, and that enthusiastic attachment to the cause of truth, which is, in reality, the noblest attribute of a cultivated understanding.
