Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Letters of JuniusThe fubmi ion of a free people to the executive authority of government is no more than a com pliance with laws, which they themfelves have enae'ted. While the national honour is firmly maintained abroad, and while jufiice is impar tially adminillered at home, the obedience of the fubjeé't will be voluntary, chearful, and I might almoft fay unlimited. A generous nation is grate ful even ii): the prefervation of its rights, and wil lingly extends the refpeét due to the o ice of a good prince into an afi'eétion for his perfon. Loyalty, in the heart and underfianding of an Englilhman, is a national attachment to the guardian of the laws. Prejudices and pa ion have fometimes carried it to a criminal length a and, whatever foreigners may imagine, we know that Englilhmen have erred as much in a millaken zeal for particular perfons and families, as they ever did in defence of what they thought moll: dear and interelling to themfelves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
