Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 105: January-June, 1869 That an absolute passive obedience ought not to be paid to any civil power, but that submission to government should be measured and limited by the public good of society, and that, there fore, subjects may lawfully resist the supreme authority in those cases where the public good shall plainly seem to require it - nay, that it is their duty to do so, inasmuch as they are all under an indispensable obligation to promote the common interest these and the like notions, which I cannot help thinking pernicious to mankind and repugnant to right reason, having of late years been industriously cultivated and set in the most advantageous lights by men of parts and learning, it seemed neces sary to arm the youth of our University against them, and take care they go into the world well principled, I do not mean obstinately prejudiced in favour of a party, but, from a nearly acquaint ance with their duty, and the clear rational ground of it, determined to such practices as may speak them good Christians and loyal subjects.
