J.B. to Pale in Bodies for Dissection
☞ Not finished Apr 12 1826 nor sent April 15 1827.
Letter 2.
"Private an and confidential." I am in no
small degree, Sir, hampered by these words. By
nature and by habit I am the very reverse of harsh
and it pains me to appear so. But I must not
be flattered, and by being flattered corrupted into connivance. Not to speak if we are here it pains me
to consume so much of the time of I will not say a
black swan but rather a white crow, who in the situation character
of Ministers of this even a country governed by corruption, has
given such symptoms of good intention. Your The confidence
not extending reposed in meto the means I have been put to
the trouble has reduced me to the taking an exhaustive view
of the possible ones. Two only present themselves. One is
the giving information to the Police Magistrates, to discourage
information against the purveyors stiled
men. As to this, no men find
I accede heartily to your to legislate, in some
if cases when without it an evil can be put an end to by
and not preponderantly evil means. But what I am still
more averse to is arbitrary power, and in particular
a dispensing power executed by influence exercised applied by
an Administrative Minister over to a functionaries in judicial
offices. The other is – an to concurrence with
acquiescence in assurance given by medical men
of eminence that such of them as have the management of Hospitals
either have th at present a sufficiency of the requisite articles in
question by means of such their situation, is if they have
not as yet know how to learn and will avail themselves
of such their knowledge.
