To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the power is abufed by corruption or oppreffion, are they not bound to re- fume it ? Is there then to be a Charter of Govern- ment given to any man, or fet of men, to rob and murder millions at their pleafure ? Or, is a mono- poly to be given to any Company, in the trade of which the nation is deeply concerned, without guard- ing the public againft the effects of its bankruptcy ? As to the Company's abufe of their political power, I do not find it ferioufly denied. Parliament has had that fu...bject long under their confideration, and the facts which the two Committees have re- ported ought to be proved (as I have juft now men- tioned) to be without foundation, before we con- demn the care and diligence of our Reprefentatives in providing a fecurity for the unhappy people of 2 India, [ 25 J India, againft the rapacioufnefs and oppreffion of the Company.
