"Of the external tests of the value of a public opinion, its gradual and quiet progression is, perhaps, that 'least liable to error. The permanence of an opinion affords evidence of the absence of transitory errors; the generality of an opinion, of the absence of local errors. If an opinion be slowly formed, continually progressive, and calmly expressed, it is almost cer

But, under a system of party government, public opinion, while quiescent, has little influence; however clearly it may be perceived that a majority of intelligent opinions is in favour of any important political measure, it is seldom adopted till the public voice is roused by opposition to demand it clamorously. "The proper tests of the reasonableness of publicThere is,' says an admirable modern essayist respect'opinion do not greatly differ from those by which the ing this subject, a good deal in modern government 'value of private opinion ought to be estimated.

To prevent the complication of this question with any other 'that is, to judge of the value of an opinion solely from 'the manner in which it is formed-we must suppose 'that either we do not know what the opinion is, or 'have no opinion of our own on the subject on which 'it is expressed, or refrain from comparing the two 'opinions.
