Excerpt from Political Essays on Popular Subjects: Containing Dissertations, on First Principles, Liberty, Democracy, and the Party Denominations of Whig and Tory Such having been the refult of a vain at tempt to introduce the exotic plants of French Democracy into this ungenial foil, it may be imagined, perhaps, that no new obfervations on fo trite a fubject are at pre fent required; that Jacobin Opinions have at length undergone ample difcuflion that their falfe foundation and pernicious confe quences have been fufhciently detected and expofed and that the minds of Englifhmen are at length perfectly fettled on the fubjeet of Politics. To the truth of this remark, in its greateft latitude, the author cannot poflibly accede for though it muft be al lowed that the political fentiments of the moi't Virtuous and moft enlightened part of the nation cannot any longer be doubted.
