In regard to John Cartwright's proposal that petitions should be presented Parliament by groups of twenty people, observes: 'The thing only requires a propitious commencement to make it spread like celestial electricity through the body of the nation, to rouse every one to a trial of the only legal shock still left for the salvation of suspended freedom, before she be dead and gone for ever from her once favoured abode—the British Isles' (479). |
