Excerpt from Autobiography, Vol. 33: A Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published

The iolunteers, after having established the external inde pendence of their country, determined to reform the abuses in its internal constitution, but they sacrificed their patriotism to their bigotry, and at the moment that they clamoured loudest for liberty, laboured to perpetuate the s avery of the great majority of their fellow-countrymen. The cry for re form, was now the whisper of a faction, and not the voice Of a nation; as such the government could afford to disregard it, and the demand was met by a contemptuous refusal. The progress of misgovernment was now accelerated, the sale of peerages to purchase votes, lavish grants of public money.
