"reputation, besides being a gentification in itself, will add
"greatly to the weight of whatever you may write hereafter on
"temporary subjects - It can be done without expense, or
"rather, it is the only way to recover an expense already
"incurred. I will therefore propose to you three things -
"1<hi rend="underline">st To finish the Introduction - 2<hi rend="underline">nd To finish the Chapter on
"the Division of Offences, which in my Copy ends at 9-12.
"3<hi rend="underline">rd To publish the 15 Chapters ending with [Properties] which
"contain 200 pages, & would make a reasonable volume.
"The last proposal would give you no other trouble than writing
"an advertisement to account for the appearance of part of
"a work - You may say that other pursuits have prevented,
" & are likely for some time to prevent your completing it,
" & therefore you publish this part which is sufficiently
" & was printed off some years ago.
"I think the best way will be to publish whatever is finished,
"but not to begin to write anything new - that you can do
afterwards
