May it please Your Excellency,
As it is scarce possible for Kings or their Representatives, or Ministers, in their High Stations, to fee, distinctly, the Actions, and Motions, of every subordinate Spring or Wheel, that constitutes the general Frame of Civil Government, tho the first Motion is derived from them, I conceive, it becomes the indispensable Duty of every good Subject, or Well-wisher to the Establishment, to inform those, in whose Power it is, to regulate the Motions of the great Machine of State, of every Clog or Obstacle given the slightest or remotest Movement of the whole Frame, which, if not set to Rights, mud, infallibly, sooner or later, reduce the whole System to Confusion and final Dissolution.
Your Excellency may know, that Divines and Lawyers are, in one Instance, agreed, in the Definition of a Body politic, which is said to be a fictitious Body of Men, bearing close analogy to the Body natural. It consists of an Head and Members, destined to different Uses and Purposes; with proper Rights and Liberties, as Ligaments to connect, and mutually, to support the Whole, and Laws as the Soul or vivifying Spirit of the Constitution.
No Scheme, of human Invention, ever formed such a Constitution as Ours. Where Art is found most to emulate Nature, there it is allowed to be in the highest Perfection.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis of the political and legal battle over the rights of the citizens of Dublin in the 18th century. The author places that battle within the context of the city's unique history and complex politics, and explores the broader struggle between citizens and their leaders for fair representation and control over their governance. The book presents a detailed account of the case brought by the citizens against their aldermen, who had usurped electoral and other privileges from them. The author shows how this case became a lightning rod for discontent over a range of issues, from taxation to corruption, and how it ultimately contributed to the development of more democratic institutions in the city. Through the extensive research of charters, legal documents, and records, the author brings to light how a group of brave citizens used the legal system to challenge the established order and to secure their rights and freedoms. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Dublin, the legal system, and the fight for democracy.
