J. B. to Rochefoucault 1
Jeremy Bentham to the Duc de la Rochefoucault
Dear Sir
Do you remember any such name? Ao 1792
at Queens Squar Place Westminster; Ao 1802 at Liancour?
I will make the experiment. For my past, weak and decayed
as is my
memory as to most
things, the
hospitalities of that place — the confusing — every
thing else belonging to the it — are almost as fresh in my mind
this day as they were on the next to that: the Ladies
whom I dare not name, blond dreading the blunders I should make fearful I of
on the ground of French genealogical nomenclature;
breach of time in which I never could pass such
my performing, bred as I was in England where, of a
were not for peerage (which deliverance
from) would on this ground
against
science: The Comte de la Rochefoucault — (I think I am right there) who had the goodness to shew
me the providentially — saved library — and who, had there
been any use in it, might have passed any where for
an Englishman — a name then already beginning to sink
and now a disgrace. The picture he gave me, on that occasion of a certain
Commander in Chief of ours was not borne thrown away upon
me: then there was the master of the Ita
me. When he went to Vienna, my eyes followed him in
the Newspapers — my wishes making that decomposition
which in war time is as common — bespeaking
for the diplomatist that disappointment and at the same which as an Englishman
I could do no otherwise than & , and at the same
time every for the individual every prosperity that was
compatible with it. with the disappointments which we are Englishmen I
but wish to the Ambassador.
