BOOK I
I mean to inquire if, in the civil order, there can be
any sure and legitimate rule of administration, men
being taken as they are and laws as they might be. In
this inquiry I shall endeavour always to unite what
right sanctions with what is prescribed by interest, in
order that justice and utility may in no case be divided.
I enter upon my task without proving the importance
of the subject I shall be asked if I am a prince or a
legislator, to write on politics. I answer that I am
neither, and that is why I do so. If I were a prince or
a legislator, I should not waste time in saying what
wants doing; I should do it, or hold my peace.
As I was born a citizen of a free State, and a member
of the Sovereign, I feel that, however feeble the
influence my voice can have on public affairs, the right
of voting on them makes it my duty to study them: and
I am happy, when I reflect upon governments, to find
my inquiries always furnish me with new reasons for
loving that of my own country.
