  26. A quotation from Addison

    When a nation once loses its regard to justice; when they do not look up it as something venerable, holy and inviolable; when any of them dare presume to lessen, affront or terrify those who have the distribution of it in their hands; when a judge is capable of being influenced by any thing that is foreign to its own merits, we may venture to pronounce that such a nation is hastening to its ruin.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1713-07-04), The Guardian, No. 99
