If he stopped short of the electors , some part of his sovereign body would be
subject to political superiors . If he were to go beyond the electors , to the larger
body of the people to the women and the children and the men who cannot vote -

The electorate is sovereign . But is the electorate a more determinate body than
the population ? Does registration afford us any more certain results than the
census yields ? Do the electors act in determinate numbers ? Is there a quorum ?

Strana 83 - Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven! — Oh! times, In which the meagre, stale, forbidding ways Of custom, law, and statute, took at once The attraction of a country in romance! When Reason seemed the most to assert her rights, When most intent on making of herself A prime Enchantress — to assist the work Which then was going forward in her name...
Strana 100 - Britain, whole within herself, A nation yet, the rulers and the ruled — Some sense of duty, something of a faith, Some reverence for the laws ourselves have made, Some patient force to change them when we will, Some civic manhood firm against the crowd...
Strana 19 - If I have thoughts and can't express 'em, Gibbon shall teach me how to dress 'em In terms select and terse ; Jones teach me modesty and Greek ; Smith, how to think ; Burke, how to speak ; And Beauclerk to converse.
Strana 10 - In the last part of his lectures, he examined those political regulations which are founded, not upon the principle of justice, but that of expediency, and which are calculated to increase the riches, the power, and the prosperity of a State.
Strana 18 - The principal materials of the works which he had announced, had been long collected ; and little probably was wanting, but a few years of health and retirement, to bestow on them that systematical arrangement in which he delighted ; and the ornaments of that flowing, and apparently artless style, which he had studiously cultivated, but which, after all his experience in composition, he adjusted, with extreme difficulty, to his own taste...
Strana 82 - Europe.' as Sydney Smith said, ' he safely brought the curates' salaries improvement bill to a hearing'; and it still more shows the horror of all innovation which the recent events of French history had impressed on our wealthy and comfortable classes. They were afraid of catching revolution, as old women of catching cold. Sir Archibald Alison to this day holds that revolution is an infectious disease, beginning no one knows how, and going on no one knows where. There is but one rule of escape,...
Strana 81 - Hardly any fact in history is so incredible as that forty and a few years ago England was ruled by Mr. Perceval: it seems almost the same as being ruled by the Record newspaper, — he had the same poorness of thought, the same petty Conservatism, the same dark and narrow superstition. His quibbling mode of oratory seems to have been scarcely agreeable to his friends; his impotence in political speculation moves the wrath, destroys the patience of the quietest reader now. Other ministers have had...
Strana 91 - We manifested one hundred years ago what Europe lost, namely, self-command, self-possession. Democracy in Europe, outside of closeted Switzerland, has acted always in rebellion, as a destructive force: it can scarcely be said to have had, even yet, any period of organic development. It has built such temporary governments as it has had opportunity to erect on the old foundations and out of the discredited materials of centralized rule, elevating the people's representatives for a season to the throne,...
Strana 93 - When practised, not by small communities, but by wide nations, democracy, far from being a crude form of government, is possible only amongst peoples of the highest and steadiest political habit. It is the heritage of races purged alike of hasty barbaric passions and of patient servility to rulers, and schooled in temperate common counsel. It is an institution of political noonday, not of the half-light of political dawn. It can never be made to sit easily or safely on first generations, but strengthens...
Strana 11 - And he destroyed before his death the remains of the book, Lectures on Justice, "in which," we are told by a student who heard them, "he followed Montesquieu in...
