the manifold copy of the translation of the documents from the
Portuguese Cortes

Instead of saying to you them what I think of them I
will let those constituents know the Portuguese Nation see what it is that by
saying what they have said of my works to and of me they those Representatives have
done for their constituents: and it is thus that I will thus will I repay endeavour

(a) Note (a)

Not long after the news arrived of the formation of the Portuguese
Cortes, a copy of Mr Bentham's works — such of them as could be
mustered up for the occasion — was delivered to the master of a ship
was sent for Portugal
Lisbon address
here in the river bound to Lisbon, addressed was sent for Portugal by a mercantile gentleman
in the City, to a correspondent of at Lisbon in whose punctuality his whom he thought
he could depend upon , for the declared purpose of their being presented,
in such manner as should be found practicable, and thought most proper to
the Cortes. By some unknown accident, so it was that no tidings
of the parcel them could ever be obtained. being
The failure being
at length ascertained,
another such
parcel was sent,
and received
in due course
as the result shews.
Hearing of this failure, a
Portuguese gentleman, in correspondence with a at that time unknown to Mr Bentham
Member of the Regency, obligingly undertook for the conveying conveyance
of another such parcel, which was accordingly received
in due course. By Mr Bentham, nothing was written on the
occasion, or on the subject, either time, to any person, either
here or in Portugal. A letter of his to the Portuguese Nation
on the subject of some supposed imperfections in the Spanish
constitutional Code had better fortune. Finding its way
to Oporto, it was there translated into Portuguese, & published.
