It seems to capture contemporary politics remarkably well for a book written two centuries ago. Representative,—one who neither cares for your interests nor your welfare, provided he can get a share of the general plunder. If he can not get a share, he becomes all at once a flaming patriot, harangues against corruption and venality, till, like the noisy mastiff, he receives an opiate morsel from the thieves whom he was placed there to guard against. Recess of Parliament,—an interval between the sessions, when the prime minister may hood-wink and tyrannize over the People, lavish their treasures, and commit any enormity, not only with impunity, and without control, but likewise with popularity.——So much for the English!
