As to Testimonials after all the pains taken to procure
copies and translations and copies of those translations to be
made of them the results of my enquiries that to warrant
not to say to repair the giving admission to proposed original draughts for the sort of work
in question testimonials are plainly needless. For where
soever in the form of instruction or in any other service is
in question, if it be according to the late proverb matter of prudence to receive it from
a fri an enemy how can it be otherwise from a friend:
and if the door which is left open to all friends and even to all
enemies against whom will it be shut?

If it has been my lot to have done any thing towards the
encrease of human happiness, it is to in patience as much as to any
thing else that I am the cause of my success is to be found.
This humble quality my Editor I remember his remarks as the
my Editor, Dumont of Geneva to whom were it only for the
access which he has given me to your leading minds
my obligations arewould be unexpressable – Never have I grudged
that labour how soever some severe soever which seemed to afford
a promise of making my ground more sure: two, three, four

to ideas not much varying in substance when a fresh
order of arrangement seemed to hold out a promise of ulterior greater
use.

This is among of the number of those rewards which the really deputed Representatives

it. The parsley leaves could no more than from no more than a
decoration for a cap: the leaves you said will have an additional and
shall nother use. All along Would be
known the which oppose themselves, the use I wish shall endeavour to make of those life obstructions. Were it not for a little French and Lain the instruction they would be altogether unacceptable to .
Though at 24 I were not so gay as at present
(for to you I am indebted for no small portion of
rarely) seventy four is not an age at which with a
very flattering prospect success a use were there is already overtraded
