text_original: Let us suppose a man abandoned to all notions of virtue and honor, of no great family, and of but a mean fortune, raised to be chief Minister of State by the concurrence of many whimsical events ; afraid or unwilling to trust to any but creatures of his own making, and most of these equally abandoned to all notions of virtue or honor; igno  rant of the true interest of his country, and consulting nothing but that of enriching and aggrandizing himself and his favorites."
