To Toreno

Thus it is that, even Supposing it were in the terms of it held out to
all, a reward offered for such a service would in the
interpretation put upon it be unavoidably narrowed by
the consideration of the situation from whence it came.
The situation as above described considered, several description
of persons more than one may be named,
from whom, how well soever qualified, the probability
would could not, be great that in their the eyes of the gentlemen in question, be great that without special invitation any such remarks should come.
Take for an example for of one of those classes, persons natives known to
be not well affected to the recently introduced order
of things: take for another example, foreigners. To them therefore
unless the design had been to prevent remarks from being sent
in by them – to them for example should special invitations
have been addressed. And Why not? even from to the most hostile?
Suppose now From a hostile hoard, out of way a hundred hands remarks suppose ninety
nine not only in their form hostile but in their tendency mischievous:
so long as there is one that is beneficial,
tendency to reject it for no better reason that that of its
coming from a hostile quarter, is it consistent with common
sense? because this or that man has laboured to hurt you,
is that a reason why you should refuse to convey a benefit for
those for whom you are in trust?

But So much as to undoubted
enemies. But from the foreigner as such, nothing of hostility could
have been apprehended. Knowing the prepossession he would
have to encounter by what desire his by what inducement but the hope of rendering
hope or that of of being thought to have rendered it service
useful service could he have flattered himself with any such hope been led to him of impose upon himself
that of being allowed permitted to render it? the labour necessary
to the experiment making trial whether he it would be permitted
to him to render it?
