Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Edmund Burke: Selections From His Political Writings and Speeches People not very well grounded in the principles of public morality find a set of maxims in office ready made for them, which they assume as naturally and inevitably as any of the insignia or instruments of the situation. A certain tone of the solid and practical is immediately acquired. Every former profession of public spirit is to be considered as a debauch of youth, or, at best, as a visionary scheme of unattainable per fection. The very idea of consistency is exploded. The convenience of the business of the day is to furnish the principle for doing it. Then the whole ministerial cant is quickly got by heart. The prevalence of factibn is to be lamented. All opposition is to be regarded as the effect of envy and disappointed ambition. All administrations are declared to be alike. The same necessity justifies all their measures. It is no longer a. Matter of discussion, who or what administration is; but that administration is to be supported is a general maxim. Flattering themselves that their power is become necessary to the support of all order and govern ment; everything which tends to the support of that power is sanctified, and becomes a part of the public interest.
