Even The Pope And
Grand Turk, Both So Much Dreaded By Our Pious Ancestors, Have Been
Supported, Caressed And Subsidized,
In order to help to put down all
efforts made to obtain rational liberty, which the courtiers always affect
to
Stigmatize with the name of "Jacobinism," while a number of needy
individual have enriched themselves by the public plunder and byaiding and
abetting the system, all novi homines, men who, had there been more to
gain on the other side than by espousing Toryism, would not have been
backward; men who are Jacobins in the real sense of the word, however they
cloak themselves under the specious names of Church and King men; upholders
of Pitt and his system, for which they affect a veneration they are far
from really feeling; men, in fact, whose political scruples of whatever
nature they be, would soon melt away.
DRESDEN, 5th October.
I have been fortunate in getting into very comfortable lodgings, having two
rooms and as much firing as I chuse for eight Reichsthalers per month.
Coffee is made for me at home in the morning, and I generally dine and sup
at a restaurant close by near the bridge. The Platz in the Neustadt is
close to my lodgings, and being very large and well paved and lined with
trees, it affords a very agreeable promenade. Rows of elegant houses line
the sides of this Plata, among which the Stadthaus is particularly
remarkable. The famous Japan Palace, as it is called, is also in the
Neustadt, and but a short distance from the Platz.
