owe it to the immutable laws of mature, and
not to the wisrle,3 of Parliament. that they did
not 'succeed to the extirpation of the com-

ed in this attempt, they reluctantly turned to
the only true corrective, the seduction of taxes;

it was proved to them that as much more might

work of reform does not proceed with sufficient ra-
