1820 Nov. 28
J.B. to Mora

at any rate – Madrid I believe, and on his way will see my
call at my Brothers at Montpellier. Here then would be an
occasion for my Brother, if I can prevail on him to go
to have this partners Murdoch, the gentlemans name is
for companion and guide. His going or not going might
turn upon such an opportunity as that. Mr Bowring himself
intends taking that road, but it will not be till June.

A Book proposed for translation designed for you by Courier
is – Dr MacCulloch on the art of wine-making not long
ago published. Spain is better off in Chemistry – in short
a Natural art and science in all its branches than in my most
other things. Yet I can not but expect to find this little tract
of eminent use. Who he Whom to communicate it to a best
advantage, rests with you. He is a man of perfect trustworthiness,
has preeminent talents, and great experience.
He is employe in the employ of government in various capacities,
and being a man so preeminent in merit, in
consequence proportionally ill used by this most detestable
and contemptible of all governments.

In my last in speaking of my Brother I mentioned the proportion between the
expence per head of a prison on the Panopticon plan, and
Do of a do in the plan preferred substituted to it . Speaking
from loose report and recollection I was fearful of overdoing: you
will see how much what was done was underdone. £500,000 is stated
as the expence sum
within which Mr
Holford Mp>o. the
planner do. in the
House he hoped to
confine the expence
a slip of a newspaper,
I cannot at present
tell what, is before
me which enters
into arguments
to prove that to 1,000
prisoners, the expence
of building alone
can not be so
little as £750,000.

In mine by next Courier (for shortness so I call the bearer of large packets) I think to send you copies for him of
the papers which by the non-reception of them in yours of the
by the best Blaquieres last received letter to me dated the
21st must have miscarried: since in Mr Simpson's
letters to him dated the 9th no mention of them is made. In England, France or Spain there must therefore have
been interception. In England it seems not at all probable: in
France highly probable.
