Great Britain is now flourishing in arts and commerce, and reaping the fruits both of her own industry and the destruction of her neighbours.— In this elevation of fortune, and external security, it will be political wisdom to guard against those internal passions, which excess of prosperity is wont to generate. It will be wisdom to anticipate, by partial and gradual reformation, those evils which might otherwise arise from a general convulsion. The most brilliant genius, and the most exalted station, ought to be devoted to this important object.
