Whatheart burnings? What delay to affairs? What want of secrecy and despatch?What defect of police? Men of superior genius sometimes seem to imagine, that the vulgar have no title to act, or to think. A great prince ispleased to ridicule the precaution by which judges in a free country areconfined to the strict interpretation of law. [Footnote: Memoirs ofBrandenburg. ] We easily learn to contract our opinions of what men may, in consistencewith public order, be safely permitted to do. The agita...tions of a republic, and the license of its members, strike the subjects of monarchy withaversion and disgust. The freedom with which the European is left totraverse the streets and the fields, would appear to a Chinese a sureprelude to confusion and anarchy. "Can men behold their superior and nottremble? Can they converse without a precise and written ceremonial? Whathopes of peace, if, the streets are not barricaded at an hour? What wilddisorder, if men are permitted in any thing to do what they please?" If the precautions which men thus take against each other, be necessary torepress their crimes, and do not arise from a corrupt ambition, or fromcruel jealousy in their rulers, the proceeding itself must be applauded, asthe best remedy of which the vices of men will admit.
