[Notes on Junius]
1807.
Stat nominis umbra.
As he never dropped the mask, so he too often used the poisoned dagger of an assassin.
Dedication to the English nation.
The whole of this dedication reads like a string of aphorisms arranged in chapters, and classified by a resemblance of subject, or a cento of points.
(Ib.)
If an honest, and I may truly affirm a laborious, zeal for the public service has given me any weight in your esteem, let me exhort and conjure you never to suffer an invasion of your political constitution, however minute the instance may appear, to pass by, without a determined persevering resistance.
A longer sentence and proportionately inelegant.
