Emancipation Spanish

'. Corruptive influence

If from valour successful or unsuccessful /courage crowned or not crowned with

success/ or successful displayed in offensive war, in the endeavour to enlarge ones

own dominion by conquest, or parcel out the dominion of other states or to keep in

subjection a people whose choice directs itself to other rulers any thing that can be

called honour or glory or honour and glory ought to be ascribed or considered /spoken

of/ as acquired, the epithet /one epithet betokening disapprobation //reprobation//

an epithet such as/ false should not fail to be prefixed

/attached/ to it, false as being the more common being employed instead of the more

characteristic appellative mischievous. In no case in which it is acquired by

injustice should the words honour and glory or either of them fail of receiving as in

either or both of these reprobative adjuncts, namely false

and mischievous.

But for this distinction to say to a soldier or to a commander of soldiers,

enthroned or unenthroned, let glory be your object is to say to him prepare yourself

to become a murderer, a depredator, a destroyer - all upon the largest scale
