From Brouillon X.

For my part without professing having professed temperance in
my title page, I will so far argue with the
Hon: Gentleman in the practice of that virtue, as
to declare give it as an opinion I to which
I have a strong leaning that the profession
thus made by implication, the profession of having
bestowed upon the subject a real examination
is a sincere one, and not a pretence –
and that in this pamphlet will be found the
whole fruit of such sort and degree of examination
as a mind like that of the Hon. Gentleman has been filled
as his mind was framed for bestowing upon
that subject question or any other.

Should the measure I have thus ventured
to take of it prove an erroneous one,
the means of rectifying it are in the compleatly in his hands
of the Hon. Gentleman. He is now left free to
pursue this or any other line of study, free
from those interruptions which he found so
troublesome in office. He is in full possession
of that leisure which it depends upon
time to render use literary leisure: and of their
dignity which in some instances accom
becomes the accompaniment of leisure in the retreats
of public men has not yet found their way
into his, something rewards of a nature more
substantial than dignity, and which on some
man's scale weighs heavier, has not been thus
tardy in finding their way into his lap.
