make it's appearance – this same sheet – in each of two distinct
publications: the one – a proposed Constitutional Code,
(calculated principally for the latitude of the infant Republicks,
to whose institutions, my works such as they are, are the only
guides looked to): the other, a pasticcio, under the title of Official
Aptitude maximized, Expense minimized. Of the first of
two volumes of which the Constitutional Code is composed,
the number of the last page as yet in print is 528: two sheets
more, the last of which is at this moment getting ready for the press,
will complete the first volume, which will not be published
till the second has been printed.
Official Aptitude &c. is in a state to be published
at any time, but has waited hitherto for a contemplated
addition or two. Of both these works, the whole or any part
is at any time, Sir, at your command.
On all public occasions my first wish is as for
more than sixty years it has been – that which I leave it
to times present and future to pronounce. On the present
occasion, a secondary, indeed, but not less sincere wish
and endeavour, is to lessen, as far as possible, that annoyance
which, in some degree, the nature of the case renders
unhappily inevitable.
