Influence

Ch. 1. Influence on[?] understanding

1

§. 2 or 3. Species of influence never undue - influence of understanding over understanding

We shall presently have to consider /speak/ of two theories or systems to one or other of which may be referred every opinion that has been or can be entertained on the subject of influence; I mean always considered as exercised on persons in occupying either of the two situations here in question viz. that of member of parl t. or Parliamentary Elector.

But before we entertain upon any such consideration, it may be of use, were it only for the prospect[?] of clearing the question of it, to speak of one modification of influence, {and that a very operative and extensive one /very extensively applied/} the exercise of which can not although applied to the situations here in question, both or either of them, be according to /under/ any theory or system, by a person of any party, objected to or considered as undue.
