information, to have taken for the subject of it theatre of it, instead of the larger portion of your particular some imaginary
nation with some a groups of imaginary some
Caertopin some Greek Island under an Idumaean —
instead of the Spanish part larger portion of
, and for the actors the Minister of some such fabled Minister instead those masters of disastrously
employed eloquence whom I will not name and
and for whom I will leave it to to characterize their constitutional to find characteristic appropriate epithets
which will in history be visible in colours visible
in a manner which for the sake I can not think of without
regret sorrow when I think of the condition of those who whom
yet destiny seems for the present at least to be dependent
on their will.

leave it to their constituents to appreciate and to
declare if by a happy imp on the part of the still impending laws
any such liberty be left in their hands.
