n. A file provided for the teeth of the rats of reform. The number of plans for its abolition equals that of the reformers who suffer from it plus that of the philosophers who know nothing about it. Its victims are distinguished by possession of all the virtues and by their faith in leaders seeking to conduct them into a prosperity where they believe these to be unknown.
