Excerpt from The Article on Radical Reform: From the Westminster Review, No. XXIII, for January 1830 Now as no comparison holds good beyond certain limits, so it happens in the present case, that there are two striking points in which the great joint-stock company called a state or political community, differs from the others to which it may have been compared. And these are, First, that the sacrifices demanded of the holders of the smaller stakes, are absolutely greater than those demanded from the larger; and, Secondly, that on the supposition that each individual had a_vote alike, there are naturally-existing causes why the influence of the holders of the great stakes over the others, - or in other Words, of the rich over the poor, - if not greater than was desirable for any good efl'ect it would have' on the common interest, would at all events not be less. Compare now the sacrifices which a poor man is continually called upon to make to what is stated (and perhaps justly) to be for the welfare of the community. Weigh, for example, the loss and suffering to which every poor man of certain years is liable from being called on to serve in the militia, with the loss and suffering; the rich man encounters from seeing the price of a substitute charged against his rental. Take the case of any other tax, and compare the relative ettect of what falls on the possessor of the single ewe lamb, with' what falls on the owner of the flocks on a thousand hills. Thence collect the evidence and the proof, that the poor have in reality a much more urgent ersonal stake in the management of the common stock, than t e rich - add to it the testimony of history that the rich, by hook or by crook, have always contrived to take care of themselves - and see if the resulting conclusion is not, that the goodness of a government is measured by the degree in which the poor, and not the rich, have the power to take care of themselves, - in the same manner as the goodness of a crutch is measured by its fitting the lame side and not the sound.

Excerpt from A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, Vol. 9: Founded Mainly on the Materials Collected by the Philological Society; Part II, Su-Th In the Latin and Greek element of the vocabulary the most striking feature is the number and importance of the prefixes that have required more or less lengthy treatment; these are s/ré (with its variants s// win, suf slum, sn/7 smu, sz/s szz/wz sflz (with its variants sy, Sj'lll', sj's The great majority of the words from Latin, Greek, and French are compounds of one or other of these prefixes, and the list of them includes many of common literary and colloquial currency, and many of considerable rank in the terminology of the arts and the sciences.
