Securities against Misrule.(a)

Preliminary Explanations.

The here proposed system of arrangements has for its object, as the title imports the applying, to such of the evils as are most apt to be produced by the immediate agency of the Monarch or those in authority under him, such remedies as present the least unpromising chance of obtaining the application of them at his hands.

One word - misrule - will serve for conveying a general conception of the disease: another word, - publicity, for conveying the like conception of the remedy:- the only remedy (it will be seen) which without a change in the form of the government, the nature of the disease admitts of.

Thus much for a general conception. But under both heads some explanations present themselves as necessary: necessary in the first place for rendering the ideas clear and determinate: in the next place, for shewing that it is to this one recipe publicity that relief, in every shape in which the nature of the disease admitts of, is referable. Some observations will follow in the view of shewing in what ways application may be made of it to most advantage: Also some others, having for their object the shewing what the chance is, that the remedy will be found obtainable.
