In examining this pamphlet it is necessary to follow the advice which Horace gave to the dealers in horses -

When skilful jockeys would a courser buy,
They strip him naked to the searching eye.

Mr. Burke's ideas are so obscured by the fantastical dresses in which they appear, that it is no easy matter to discover their true shape and figure. His object, however, is to excite an universal enmity towards the French Republic, and to reconcile the people of this country to a prolongation of the war. The reasons he assigns for this universal and everlasting hatred are to be found in page 97 of his avowed edition. I mean the three and sixpenny pamphlet sold by Rivington.
