Excerpt from The British Review, and London Critical Journal, 1811, Vol. 2 We are not, however, so visionary as to think that each man ought, substantively, to depend upon himself in his endeavoura for his country's good, and stand alone, like. Pompey' s pillar in the desert. If in many of those things which are of the most ia dividual interest, man still finds society his proper element of action; in a concern so eminently social as the busmess of a com monwealth, it were an absurdity to expect that we should act in independence of each other. Political arrangement, said a great man and statesman, as it is a work for social ends, must be brought about by social means; mind must conspire with mind. We can suppose a-case, too, where corruption, incapacity, and radical error, systematically displayed by an administration, under a misjudging and misguided monarch, may justify systematic op position, and an alnmst indiscriminate party-hostility. The casual instances of virtue and discretion which such an administration may, by starts, exhibit, will be so far from redeeming the whole of its conduct, that they may really contribute to make it more injurious; just as a literary work of general mischievous ten 'deney may more effectually accomplish its rpose by mingling secondary truths with substantial errors. It may be observed, too, in defence of tty under the limitations, and justified by the motives above a luded to, that there is some security against rash projects, and speculative ardour, in the necessity of con ciliating others, and maintaining the harmony of co-operation; fer, as large bodies can seldom agree among themselves except in fundamentals, measures of excess, unless they grow out of the principles admitted by all, are too apt to endanger the solidity and strength of the mass, to be ventured upon by single persons. No union can be compact nor steadily operative to a common purpose, unless the complexional peculiarities, and speculative differences of the individuals composing it, are compressed and kept down to the level of those prmciples in which the suflragea of all units.

Excerpt from The British Review, and London Critical Journal, Vol. 22: May, 1818 To us, and probably to most of our readers, this sort of com mune concilium wears but little the appearance of a representa tive legislation; if it prove any interference at all by the com mon people, it was not an interference in the way of represent ation, but by acclamation; and indeed, in some parts of the work before us, it seems as if the author carried his respect for the original rights of the people beyond the privilege of speak ing by a representative organ, to the assertion of a power in them of pronouncing in propriis personis their catholic consent or dissent to the laws. For our parts we verily believe that if for people we were to read vassals, and for faithful oh sequious, we should vary but little the substantial import of these terms.

Excerpt from The British Review, and London Critical Journal, 1822, Vol. 20 It cannot be too often impressed that laws are a branch, and in truth the most important branch of practical morals. It has, therefore, always been usual with ethical and political wrig ters to deduce the character of a people from the spirit of their laws - a truth which Demosthenes urges upon the Athenians as a motive to the greatest care and cultivation of this department of their polit He does not scruple at once to adopt a senti ment which e states himself to have heard attributed to the wisest men that laws are in truth nothing but the morals of a state, ' 'rpovroug 7n; wew; strain. C. Timoer. T. Iii. Ed. Cant. P. This aflinity with ethics' makes it the more important, that a fit ness and proportion should, as far as is consistent with its mul tifarious objects, be maintained throughout the system of national jurisprudence, and especially through that part of it which com prehends what is most open to the view of the world - the dis pensation of criminal justice, - that it may coincide with those great aphorisms of universal equity, which speak the natural sense of mankind. Where legislators thus feel they will avoid what the judicious Hooker well warns them against the mea suring by one kind of law all the actions of men, whereby they will be sure to confound the admirable order in which God has disposed all laws, distinct in nature as in degree; remem berin with that great man, that of law no less can be acknow ledged, than that her seat is the bosom of God, - her voice the harmony of the world.
