Excerpt from Reasons for Abolishing Capital Punishment

Conservatism is, however, an important element, and we would not under-rate its value. It is the brake on the car of Radicalism - the catch-pin in the cog-wheel of reform the ballast in the old ship Progress - the constant check upon precipitate action. In this light, it is an admirable element. As sentry, it is unsurpassed; for, as Progress carries trench after trench of the enemy, conservatism is placed on guard, and never was trusty friend a more faithful sentinel. Once on guard, it never deserts its post, but true to its negative instincts - to every demand made upon it, it simply shakes its head and says nay.
