Bentham and James Mill thought of him as a Declaimer who lived upon applause, and who, as one of them says, was for protecting everything old, not because it was good but because it existed.
"Burke"
John Morley

"Thaddeus of Warsaw"
Jane Porter
I should not wonder if this man's patriotism leads him from despising the legislature into breaking the law; and, faith, the surest way to the gallows is less through vice than discontent: yet I would fain hope better things for him; for, methinks, he is neither a common Declaimer nor an ordinary man.
