J.B. to Portugueze Cortes
Annext Subjoined to this letter go two appendages,
the one marked A. contains Reasons: that marked B, testimonials.
Of the reasons the aim is to prove to you that the work service offer
offered you thus made is one that ought to find acceptance: the of
the testimonials to satisfy you to render you satisfied that
from the giving the commission countenance stipulated for the risk to your reputation
would not be great, to sec secure you against the all any such apprehension
as that of finding your reputation soiled lost by check on intercourse of this sort with an individual
ill-thought of where he is most best known your reputation
should be soiled.
Legislators of Portugal your time can not
be more respected by your constituents or by yourselves
than it is by me. It would gratify me to have
Let me entreat you not to expend any part of it
on the reading of an either in whole or in part the matter of either of these
appendages. To such of you if any there be whom this
of my labours may find satisfied to give acceptance to it
it will to burthen their attention with it any all inspection of it is needless will be needless: th to those
whom it finds averse or indifferent or it may will
suffice to know where the documents are may be found by which objections
are endeavoured to be obviated. Meantime be let thus this much
be clearly undoubted out of doubt. My wish is not to exclude but to multiply rival production. I mean from any hands, but more especially from native ones. My desire and endeavour is
not to dampen but to invite the production of rival works with
the like object; to work it from all without exception, but more from others, and in particularly from native
hands.
