In the construction of this fabric there must be some curious felicity which the eye of the philosopher would be well em- 20 ployed in investigating, and which its neighbours may profit by adopting. This, I say, Gentlemen, would have been an obvious inference. But what shall we think of their understandings who draw an inference directlv the reverse? and V who say to us, ' You have stood when 4 others have fallen; when others have * crouched, you have borne yourselves aloft ; ' you alone have r...esisted the power which ' has shaken, and swallowed up half the ' civilized world. We like not this suspicious ' peculiarity. There must be something ' wrong in your internal conformation !' With this unhappy curiosity, and in the spi- rit of this per verse analysis, they proceed to dissect the British Constitution. They find that, like other States, we have a Monarch ; that a Nobility, though not organized like ours, is common to all the great kingdoms of Europe ; but that our distinction lies in a popular assembly, which gives life, and vigour, and strength to the whole frame of 21 the Government.
