Excerpt from Of Parliamentary Reform: A Letter to a Politician
My Dear Friend,
You wish me to set forth in a Pamphlet-letter the scheme of enfranchisement to which I alluded in our late conversation on Parliamentary Reform. I think that even your flattering request would not compel me to what must necessarily be a brief and insufficient exposition of that scheme, if I did not care more for its principles - which I shall be glad to see yourself or any other eminent publicist embody more happily - than for the machinery by which I propose to apply them; and if I did not believe that the question of Reform will retain its troublesome Premier-haunting character, till we answer it on principles more organic, expressed in machinery more natural, than those of that provisional and temporary reply which, in 1832, was the best that state exigencies allowed.
