1824 Aug. 12
Greece J.B. to Dr Corry Gares

It is not without regret that I can think of
the minuteness of the detail, into which this Election
Code runs, and the difference between the state of
society which it supposes, and that which has place
in Greece. I depend upon you If your policeman carries
you through with it, I depend upon you for
some words of advice from you to your country men,
pointing out in what particulars, if in any, it may
with advantage be made applicable to their case

The As to the Notes, these, you will see, could
not in the main have been calculated for the meridian of any
other country other than England: for illustration you
will do with them as you please: adding a translation,
of such of them, if any, and but such of them only as afford a promise
of being of use.

Unfortunately Bowring at this moment is at a
distance from London: therefore I can neither get from
him your letter to him, nor settle with him the course
to be taken for secure payment to the Printer for the
printing and paper of the work. Translators I understand
you have two in view. As to remuneration for
them I must beg leave to cast myself upon you for
information and advice. Two cases there are in either
of which adequate remuneration will be necessary: One is if, in
their view, the use, if any, of which the work appears to
afford a promise to your country, is not sufficient to pay
them for their labour: the other is — if their pecuniary
circumstances are not such, as to admitt of their bestowing
upon the work, gratis, the requisite portion of their time
