Présentation de l'éditeur
Fac Stion Detedted, BY TH EE vidence of FACTS. oPPOSITION to the Meafures of Government, whether good or bad, is no new thing in this or any other Country, where the People have any Share in the Legiflature. For wherever that Circumftance is found, the Materials for the Advancement of frivate Views abundantly occur: And in proportion to the mportance of fuch a Country, Subjeds ambitious of Prefer ment have more Incentives to urge them on to Puriliits of this Nature, more I nftmments to affift them in their Undertaking, and more Pretexts to delude and to impofe upon the Multitude. The Employments in fuch a Country muft of Neceffity be numerous and lucrative, the Engagements of the Publick frequent and expeniive, the Dangers from it Neighbours greater, their Jealoufy and I ll-will more to be apprehended, and confequendy with more Privacy and Caution counteracted. This enables artful Men to raife Murmurs againft the moft neceflary Charges of the State, and to quarrel with the beft Means of Publick Security with a manifeft A dvantage, becaufe it is eafy to difpute the Wifdom of Meafures, which can never be intirely difclofed, till they are fully executed ;and the Poiibn infufed into the People has performed its Operation before the Nature of the thing can poffibly admit a Dete tion of the Faliities and Mifreprefentations employed againft them ;while the Publick, already prejudiced, never give themfelves the Trouble to examine what is paft ;either taking more Delight in the Difcovery of Error, than in the Purfuit of Truth ;or not having the Means furnifhed with equal I nduftry, or being diverted by fome fre(h Objedlion, ftarted to fomenew Condud. In proportion to the Riches of any Country, Poverty becomes more preffing upon many by a natural Contraft.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contends that opposition to measures put forth by the government is nothing new. Opposition can come from any party, regardless of whether those measures are good or bad. However, the author suggests that during times of relative peace and prosperity, the material advantages available to ambitious individuals within a party will inspire opposition, with ample resources and pretexts available to fuel an opposition based on malice and ambition. This can be particularly problematic when opposition takes the form of a faction that seeks not to preserve or improve the nation, but to advance the interests of a particular individual or family, possibly even at the expense of the nation's interests. The author warns that such factions can be particularly dangerous if they align with foreign powers or interests adverse to the nation's own. The author contends that in order to effectively identify a faction and its goals, it is necessary to look at its conduct and the likely consequences of its actions, rather than the labels its members apply to themselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
