Soldier

,—a man inveigled into a banditti of hires assassins, by means of martial music and a few guineas. This miserable portion ofsubjects is inclosed within barracks, separate from the rest of society, from which it has a particular and dis­tinct interest. Soldiers have no privileges, no rights, no feelings of hu,anity to guide them to action, no sentimments of regard for their fellow-men! They are a distinct order, kept apart, that all sensibility, all sympathy for the sufferings of others, with them may be extinct. Hear it, O man! This is the interest of all kings and priests, in order to keep up the delusion of human adora­tion!
