“Politics,” says the elegant and ingenious Mr. Grenville, in his Maxims,
“are the food of sense exposed to the hunger of folly.” And indeed they
seem to be devoured with so voracious an appetite, that no good
assimilation or chylification of them takes place in the body politic in
consequence of it. The appetite is great, the digestion imperfect.
