1821. May 9th. To Nunes.

P.S. From Salamanca such a book as thine! From
Coimbra marks of liberalism altogether correspondent! In the
University of Coimbra was Dumont's edition of my works, almost as soon as edited, an object
of attention to the Carvathos, the
and the Rochas! What Salamanca and Coimbra were before
that time, Oxford and Cambridge are still:-Oxford, in which the
whole force of that wretched substitute for a mind, which has been in possession
of the rulers, has been engrossed (what I say is the result of a course
of observation that commenced full sixty years ago) has been engrossed (I
say) by the keeping the minds of the rising generation excluded from the
whole field of politics and morals; poetry, and the empty or delusive sort
of literature stiled classical, being the pursuits to which the universal attention
was turned endeavoured has all along been endeavored to be by whatsoever of the matter of reward has ever been applied
to so much as the show of merit; idleness, dissipation and drunkenness
regarded as virtues, and as such secretly cherished rather than that
the minds of the ruling few in their growing state should be turned
towards the science so aptly stile by you the social science - that
science, in the progress of which the allied powers of tyranny have so and corruption and delusion
long and so clearly beheld their final downfall: Oxford, in which,
without instruction in any shape, except the little that could originate
in my own deserted boyhood unfurnished, and unfitted mind,, I consumed, in vapid idleness, under
the notion of receiving an University education, between the age of
13 and that of 20, after five spent in learning Latin and Greek at the great public School of Westminster - (another poison- summary), five or six of the most pretious years of my life.
