1820 Nov 27
Bowring to Toreno

One day when we were on the subject of Parliamentary Reform
he shewed me the letter from Sir Francis Burdet by which he
was conduced to take up the subject by drawing according to
Parliamentary usage a string of Resolutions forming adapted to the
for a basis to a proposed law on the subject and afterwards
the proposed law itself, accompanied with extracts from the
reasons by which the usual arrangements had been suggested.
A printed copy of The proposed law intituled Bentham's Radical Reform
Bill is among in the collection of his works presented it is
designed for the Cortes, and ere this, it is hoped
received at Madrid. As it may help to shew you the sort
of estimation he is held in,and is not long I may perhaps get obtain a
copy from him and send it to you now or at some future at this or some other
time, and in the same view a published copy of the
Speech made by Burdett in the bring moving the abovementioned
Resolution together with one made by Brougham
as the organ of the Whigs in opposition to him, might be worth
looking at and shall be sent. Note that the proposed
scheme of Representation while which as was perfectly foreknown
the neither Tories nor Whigs would induce the discussion
of to be entered Journals is with
little difference, as I believe I once before mentioned to
you, the same as that of Spain: Universality, secresy,
equality annuality of suffrage: the principal difference being – in Spain four stages of Election, in Gt
Britain's scheme no more than one.
