Constitutional Monarchy

Monarch [...?] and [...?] subjects

It is his interest that taken collectively his subjects be as opulent as possible: and

thus far the interest of the Monarch and the intrest of his subjects [...?]: thus far he

may say with truth: your interests are mine /in a moment /[...?]/ much [...?] and more

/ever/ [...?]/. But it is his interest that he himself be as opulent as possible: and to

make any the smallest addition to his own happiness that he is not content to sacrifice:

by /in/ that interest which is [...?] to himself [...?] than which he has in the

universal interest is continually approved and as continually overpowered. Of /In/ this

preponderance may be seen the cause of most of the wars with which the species has been

sovereinty accomplish from the people to pay his debts.* The trader who by miserable

result of his own [...?/...?/] without the smallest [...?] of misfortune No money could

be offered without his [...?]: and he was notoriously vigilant [...?] as well as

functional in the giving of it. He made profit by his wars uncommon profit to himself

and family: [...?] the [...?] of [...?]: and he took care to [...?] himself from loss:

[...?] the exemption given to his [...?] property or Government [...?] - in the funds as the phrase is.

*[...?] afforded in the cross. of a debate /the House of Commons/ in the Spring of 1821

/say [...?] in [...?]: probably on the subject of the budget or grant to Royal
