2. Now as to terms. Saying, that if which suggested all this I have
the work the benefit of to do was the desire of rendering service to Spain, and not
my Brother that no expectation of rendering service to my
Brother had any at first any part in it at all, nor
has now any but to subordinate part would be saying
nothing: for it is what any body might as easily say
as say the contrary. But the terms when you come to look
to them will may serve to the enable to judge how far the
assertion is comparable to truth. In his mind love of wealth
is subordinate to love of power: and in his eyes power is
of no value any farther than it is employed in doing rendering
service to others on the largest scale possible. Economy in the sense
in which frugality makes a part of it, is with time a
matter of and even of passion, the marks of which
you will see all along in those Official papers of his. Not
a penny in the way of profit, I could answer for him would
he require for all the or expect, for whatever services he may have rendered. But
He would even, I could answer for him, be content to be at some expence. But
to those expences there must of course be a limit. What I
could wish to see him do is – to make for the purpose in question a progress
round the coasts of Spain: those of Portugal not excluded.
He is : damp in particular he finds injurious
to his health and dangerous to his life. Spanish Inns would
kill him. But he has acquired the habit of sleeping as
well as travelling in his own carriage. He is in no partial Coachmastering is among the subjects of his inventions. In the Russia he
travelled in an amphibious vehicle of his own invention. It
was so constructed as to supersede the need of bridges when he
came to a river, he drove through it without stopping, as
if there had been no river. He is but just returned from a
tour of a month or six weeks he has been making, with a view
to the purchase of land and on this tour a part of the French side
of the Pyrenees has been included. His wife, the daughter of an
eminent Scotch Physician
who was established indeed is in London is his
Physician his Sciptures
and was well qualified in
and accustomed to
second him in all his operations.
