Chart of Misrule

That the usefulness and importance of an exclusion so compleatly the reverse of /diametrically opposite to/ that which as yet has unfairly had place may /might/ be the more clearly understood /conceived/ and more [...?] comprehended, a thing to be desired would have been a compleat exposition /exposure/ of the several causes of relative inaptitude which have place in the case of all the several diversifications /modifications/ of /by/ which the situation of persons possessing or sharing in the consummative power in question is susceptible /diversified/: a statement of the several situations together with the several causes of inaptitude /sinister interests and interest©begotten prejudices/ which in the instance of the several persons by whom those situations are respectively occupied, will in the nature of the case have place and operate with effect /ought to be expected/.

Of all these several causes of relative inaptitude taken together the tendency and natural effect is to cause the effect of the draught in question when sanctioned to give birth to such a draught as where sanctioned shall have the effect of sacrificing the universal interest to a cluster of particular and sinister interests including the interests of the several individuals having /possessing/ in a direct or more or less indirect way shares in the consummative power abovementioned: in other words to produce and establish a general system of misrule.ÁÁ
