Excerpt from Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient Republicks: Adapted to the Present State of Great Britain

The reason given by A. Gellius is more striking, and less liable to objections than that of Plutarch. If (say 5 that writer) all the good men in any state, when they find themselves too weak to stern the torrent of a furious divided populace, and unable to suppress a sedition at its first breaking out, should immediately divide, and throw themselves into the opposite'sides, the event in such a case would be that each party, which they had differently espoused, would naturally begin to cool, and put themselves under their direction, as persons of the greatest weight and authority: thus it wouldbe greatly in the power of such men so circumstanced, to reconcile all differences, and restore peace and union, while they mutually restrained and moderated the fury of their own party, and convinced the opposite side, that they sincerely wished and laboured for their safety, not for their destruction.
