482 The difficulties of the government go on

increasing: the means of the nation
diminishing : its burdens increas-
ing, in fact, thougà not in nominal
amount: the land-owners looking about
them for help, vainly hope to find in
the "vigour and decision" of the “Hero
of Waterloo," who was unable to
make wheat rise in price, however able
he had been to expend the money
burrowed for the carrying-on of the

at last, fixed on a reform of the parlia.

REIGN" died.

carried away and spent at

and spent at a distance:
the people straying into all sorts of

sects
Crime increases in proportion as the

misery of the people increases; till, at
last, their ideas come back to the law
of nature, which tells every hungry

man to take food where he can find it. 506 NEW AND SEVERE LAWS to check this

increase of crime : a total departure
from all the main principles of En-
glish law

ral consequence of this long, this taxing,
this squandering, regency and reign,
during which the great land-owners of
England, by endeavouring to extin-
guish the last remains of English free.
dom, put their own estates in jeopardy. 508
