In this place, had the limits unavoidably prescribed to a paper of this sort admitted of any such additions © in this place would have come in two connected documents; The one of them, is a sort of chart of the different sinister interests © of the several rocks on which the virtue of the author of a work of the sort in question is liable to split or to receive damage. In addition to the particular and sinister interest of the Monarch where there is one, on this Chart would exhibit /be exhibited/ the several particular and [...?] interests of the aggregate of which the interest of the aristocratical body in every country is divided.

In The other, adding to the particular and sinister interest of the Monarch, the principal and most efficient /influential/ branches of the particular and sinister interest of the Aristocracy, would be given a delineation of the track or route in which each possessor of the particular and sinister interest with power to give effect to it would by the pursuit of /endeavour to give effect/ that same particular and sinister interest be led to give compleat consummation to the above mentioned sinister sacrifice

An exhibition of this sort might be termed ”The Chart /course/ of Misrule• description of the course, which leads to the consummation of the sinister sacrifice, and which under /[...?]/ every Government but that of the United States has been travelled on and so long as the government lasts will continue to be travelled on till the consummation of the sacrifice is effected.

In an enterprise of this sort, the reducing the mental frame of the subject many, as well in the intellectual as in the moral part /branch/ of it to the compleatest state of depravity possible, will be seen to be among the expedients in the use of which all these several branches or modifications of particular and sinister interest concurr

    The occasion be it remembered on which on which these several causes of relative inaptitude have been searched out and brought to view, is the choice /appointment/ to be made of the hand or hands by which the original draught of the sort of work in question - an all-comprehensive and rationalized body of law, shall be penned. The main /fundamental/ position is that causes /circumstances/ of inaptitude considerable in number and mighty in force concurr in operating on this occasion in the character of causes of inaptitude, causes /circumstances/ the tendency of which is to place the work in hands eminently unapt, in such sort as to cause it to have for its end the sacrifice of the universal interest to a cluster of particular and sinister interests The problem to be solved - the result required to be produced is - so to obviate and counteract the operation of these causes, that the hand or hand actually employed shall in the highest degree that the nature of the case admitts of be endowed with appropriate aptitude in its several branches as above brought to view, and a correspondent degree of appropriate aptitude in a corresponding degree given to the work

    Misrule

    That the effect of this /such/ system of misrule may be the more clearly understood, and a perception of it brought home as it were to the feelings of every individual, another desirable operation would have been /is/, the giving a delineation of the sinister course which in pursuance /for the advancement/ /by the pursuit/ of his own particular and sinister interest each individual or class of persons will be led to pursue:- the course that in the exercise of his power and influence the Monarch would be led to pursue, and the sacrifices which he would be led to make of the universal to his own particular and sinister interest during his progress in that course: the like in regard to every one of the numerous classes and sub-classes into which in every country the aristocracy of the country is divided: in a word the direction taken by misrule in these several situations for the attainment of the several sinister ends - for the consummation of its share in the sinister sacrifice. the sinister sacrifice made which is as much as to say /in other words/ the several evils physical, moral and intellectual produced.

    An analysis of this sort has /was/ accordingly been commenced /undertaken/ and nearly finished. But already and before it was compleated the space occupied by it was found to be such, as to oppose a peremptory bar to its admission in this place. In connection with this paper /little work/ with the present paper Should it ever see the light it must be in the form of an Appendix.

    Meantime what may be sufficient to warrant /afford a completely sufficient warrant for/ the practical measure he proposed, is this undeniable truth: namely that in the situation in question as well as in every other every man being by the constitution of his nature led to pursue his own individual interest in preference to and at the expence of all other interests put together no arrangement by which this universal propensity can be in any degree counteracted can justly be regarded as misapplied or needless and superfluous.
