Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on Finance and Colonies The case now before us, both that which governs and that which is governed, is endowed with the mystery of life - life, not merely as regards the present world, but as regards the world to come - life, not in one part, but in all, not in unconnected parts, but in parts most intimately connected and united, and ultimately perceived to be vitally bound together as a whole as a body; as a living national body, in a state of oneness: and so bound up into a form and being of unity, that in the sublime language of the Apostle, from whom, writing of the unity of the living Church of Christ, the illustration is derived, if one part suffer, all the parts suffer with'it, and if one part be honoured, all the parts rejoice with it. This presumes the national body, like the Church, to be throughout in a condition of unity and fellow feeling. We mean not to pursue this illustration further: we have employed it as enabling us to express the more emphatically our utter dissent from, and disapprobation of, the narrow, circumscribed, and party view, promulgated in a recent manifesto from Edinburgh - which is justly regarded as the new nucleus of a party warfare - that the question of the Corn Laws, whose abolition is now called for, is one exclusively between the aristocracy on the one side, and the people on the other. Notwithstanding a few honeyed sentences which followed that declaration, in respect to the hereditary glories and achievements of the Peers of the realm, the effect of the manifesto has been, to direct the eyes of the nation to a few hundreds of high and mighty lords, as dissociated from the body of the people, and standing between them and the bread that keeps them alive. That the aristocracy are involved in the question is undoubted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
