The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from What is Man? by Mark Twain: on which the King's heart was set--the union of England and
Scotland. It was not difficult for such an intellect to discover
many irresistible arguments in favor of such a scheme. He
conducted the great case of the POST NATI in the Exchequer
Chamber; and the decision of the judges--a decision the legality
of which may be questioned, but the beneficial effect of which
must be acknowledged--was in a great measure attributed to his
dexterous management.
Again:
While actively engaged in the House of Commons and in the courts
of law, he still found leisure for letters and philosophy.
