The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 6 In that wretched state of things, some are afraid that the authors of your miseries may be led to precipitate their further designs, by the hints they may receive from the very arguments used (to expose the absurdity of their system, to mark the incongruity of its parts, and its inconsistency with their own principles; and that your masters may be led to render their schemes more consistent, by rendering them more mischievous. Excuse the liberty which your indulgence authorizes me to take, when I observe to you, that such apprehen sions as these would prevent all exertion of our faculties in this great cause of mankind.
