As to any profit capable of derivable from the sale
of the work in Greece I can not set it down as any
thing: some small price should must, I think, be set upon each
copy as a remuneration to the distributors: but every or else it will run a risk of
of being used as waste paper: but every thing of this sort I must seek the liberty of leaving entirely
to you: the impression will be entirely altogether at your disposal, except
as to those parts of it which I shall desire to be sent for
me to London.

On his return hither from Greece, namely about the
beginning of July my excellent Philhellene friend the Honble. L Stanhope
gave me some information respecting some conversation of his
with a distinguished functionary to whom he had learnt that you
with acknowledged
had sent a letter of good advice. That functionary acknowledged the
having received a letter from you, and I believe though not without
reluctance showed it to him or read to him at first some extracts,
and at length I believe the whole. Stanhope proposed
his printing and publishing it: the proposition
was not favorably listened to: with pleasure: as being ,
he consented to publish some I know not what extracts
but refused to publish the whole it entire. Stanhope said to me
he expected (but I did not learn on what ground) that
a copy would, from some other quarter, find its way to
the press, and become known visible in Greece: that the production
may have been accomplished, or at least may be accomplished, is of course my hearty
wish. Through the influence of that functionary as supposed, the publication
of some paper of mine was, for some time resisted evaded: evaded but
in vain: Stanhopes arguing for the publication of it not
being thought fit to be resisted. To some observation
of in approbation whether of my wishes in general, or some
work in particular, as applying or applicable to the case of
Greece, "Good in theory, reply, but not for practice": was the
reply
reply:
an observation as
trite as it is self contradictory,
and of which
an exposure is given
if I mistake not, in the
Volume on "Sophismes" forming the 2d volume of the ... Tactiques des Assemblées Politiques.
