AN ESSAY ON THE

Aliquid feinper ad communem utilitatem af
ferentfum. Cicero.
The Firjl American Edition.
THE graud principle of Equality, if right
ly understood, is the only basis 011 which
universal justice, sacred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanentr
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
essay, at the fame time that it repreffcs the
insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrages of oppression j confirms, in the
mod forcible manner, the neceflitV of subor
dination, and the just demands ot lawful
thority. So far indeed, from loolening the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftinftion,
draws more closely every locial tie, unites in
one harmonious and jultly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal oblication, and of a com-
u -P.
