1820 Decr 1
J.B. through Weidman to Mora.

are fifty or a hundred years beyond every body else. He reads
French. He had you would imagine Dumonts books at his fingers ends.
Not he indeed: he had not read never seen so much as one of them. Yet he was Attorney
General to U.S. before he came here. The like it should
seem is the case with Livingston. The Speaker will be applied
to for some House of Commons trash that he wants. Next
to nothing was proposed, and even that not done. Papers on Codification
had been sent about by Quincy Adams. It was seems scarcely credible
that Livingston should have known nothing of them. From New
York the seat of her family a principal one, he emigrated to
New Orleans in ten years, by practising at the Bar, made a
large fortune, and with it by bought a large Estate. This from
Rush. Now he is for penal Codification, and abolishing the punishment
of death. I believe Panopticon will on that accountbe sent to him.

The pamphlet about Burdett &c might do good service among
the Lisbon people if friendly. I Pity it had not been thought
of and sent from the first. So you will say when you see it.
Note that that what was said as above, met with no contradiction
from the Ministerialists. So it is believed.
The debates will be
searched, and if there
be any mistake in
this it will be
brought to view.
Yet of injury done according to the proverb I makes
the injured odious to the injurer. B. can not but be on a very
be
intensely odious to them. House of Commons Re Acts of
Parliament with Reports upon Reports of the H. of C.
had been employed to authorize affect a bring about a Contract
with him for setting up a Penitentiary House. The
like were afterwards employed to enable them to break
their faith with him. No reason being to be found, none
was so much as attempted to be given. To do what
his faith of Parliament had been pledged for was not an "expedient". Meantime first he find decency was preserved
by speeches promising liberal indemnity. Yet no more was
given than he had been out of pocket.
