There is a timeless wisdom, and a warning, in Drummond's political philosophy, expressed in a letter, 22.5.1838, to the magistrates of Tipperary, who were demanding coercive measures to combat crime: “Property has its duties as well as its rights; to the neglect of those duties in times past is mainly to be ascribed that diseased state of society in which … crimes take their rise, and it is not in the enactment or enforcement of statutes of extraordinary severity but chiefly in the better and more faithful performance of those duties, and the more enlightened and humane exercise of those rights, that a permanent remedy for such disorders is to be sought”. (Parl. Papers 1837–38 (735) XLV1 571)
