Excerpt: ...as well as the man who steals a pound; and we do so because his act equally testifies to a certain defect of character.

They, however, make the strangest mistake who, referring as they commonly do to the United States, urge the existence of slavery as itself an argument against democracy. Put in a definite form, this would aptly serve the logician as a specimen absurdity. A pseudo-democracy is found not democratic enough, and it is therefore inferred that democracy is a bad thing! Whilst some Autolycus is eulogizing honesty and quoting himself as a sample of it, he is detected in the act of picking his neighbour's pocket; whereupon it is argued that honesty ought forthwith to be repudiated!
