ABSTRACT
While Youth with democratic violence pulls down Reason from her sovereign seat, and commits the helm to a rebel rout of passions; Age, finding these riotous principles quiet and manageable in his own particular territories, supposes it easy for others to keep them in equal subjection, and affirms that the absolute unlimited monarchy of the ci-devant 117 princess is not only the best mode of government, but actually the most feasible. It is not wonderful that Youth should deny the power of those restrictive principles which time and experience / gradually introduce; but certainly Age might remember the sentiments that it once felt.
