If your rules really If so it is that in your country the constituted authorities are to such a degree impatient of contradiction as be
oppos by open or secret means to oppose the diffusion
of any opinions on the subject of legislation and in particular
those which would stand expressed by in my proposed
Cortes, you ill judge what expectation I could entertain
of rendering my labours of any use to Spain, by my
observations strained through a Censor's soever, by whatsoever
were the hand that held it. Suppose this ascertained to
be the case: as to the title of a lover of mankind in general or and of the
or of the Spanish native in particular: could it could
I a man maintain any pretension, if, merely on this account, I hewere I to sit silent, and
forbear all endeavours to make communication,
the Special to the constituents of these same
legislators of these ideas, of the usefulness of which if
communicated to them my his convictions is ? were entire?

Lay your hand upon your heart, Sir, and make the
answer for me.

Well then, if not I do not sitting silent rage not sit silent, my next endeavour will be to
cause my couch to find its way into the country in the
way of contraband, as my works in French did under
the anciens regime. It is with grief I have observed
in him his unknown to how large an extent in Spain the people have
been better served by the infraction of the laws than by the
observance of them: I should shall have this to add
to the number. I shall shall at the same time have to make put it
known to the at large and to my liber consideration of the truly liberal
in my own every country, beginning with my own, on what
ground the present representatives of the people Spanish rulers be of the present day can maintain
any claim to that appellation.
