1818 April 15 6 Annuity Note 6

The Solicitor to his Bank is to me the name of a species not
of an individual. Of the individual I know absolutely nothing: I know
nothing of his character. I know nothing of not so much as his name. I have
no need of knowing it not the least need of any such knowledge. What I know is his situation and
the sources from whence the profile of that situation are derived.
Knowing this I know see and with a degree an assurance altogether
sufficient for every practical purpose that in his eyes no increase in
the number of such forgeries are really full of being a source
of self-complacency, no duress of being a source of regret.
A Solicitor of the Bank suffer if he could help it a decrease
to be made in the numbers of forgeries of Bank paper? As
well could I believe that a Chancellor receiving fees in
Bankruptcies would suffer if he could help it suffer a decrease
in the number of Bankruptcies as a Chief Justice of the
Kings Bench receiving fees, on suits in the Kings Bench (suffers)
a decrease [to be made] in the number of those suits. Should When
the time ever arrive every one of these official persons shall come forward and
say In my own office and then at in their office
which are at my one Disposal add or substitute salary
substitute salary so far (far as to substitute without equivalent
I would as soon expect to have been any but my
or harry me) there and not tell them will I believe shall I
be able to believe that he will cease to to his witness
the calumnies nuisances <add></add> Act of from which under the system of misrule
his comforts were instructed. To know this, for any purpose of regulation what else can it
be if any the matters use to know of an individual so
of the individual by whom any such situation is occupied? whether
he makes himself such with the many, or starves himself while
he is grasping it getting it in? Let him upon vow to God call his maker to witness
that his own witness nature has nothing in it in that is can
to with that of other men - let him heap protestations upon
protestation - let him follow them up with volleys of curses, or with
streams of crocodile tears, shall I believe him any thing the more for any any such display? As soon could while having I saw him speak could I believe he was not speaking; Read his before hand never been opened.
