Now then I will try another experiment upon you, and at the
risk of another misinformation, substitute to my offer an invitation
which will be received according as the Statesman and the Author
on the one hand, or the Fine Gentleman and Man of the World
on the other happen to predominate. Antony a week earlier than
you would otherwise - Plant, as before your amiable incumberances
at their Father and Grandfathers – Come and

System shall be the Order of the Day and the sole
Order of the Day, the whole time. Then the pages shall be discussed,
paragraph by paragraph, with all their relations and
dependencies – Et nato natorum, et qui nascentur ab illis. We will take a conjunct survey of the whole field of
Political Economy: for nothing less is necessary to determine
en connoissance de cause whether stet or dele shall be
respectively affixed to the aforesaid paragraphis. We will take
a joint observation of political futurity and especially of financial, under the several
contingencies which present themselves as its phases. It will
be the first week of your life that you will have applied yourself

what place have made your duty: and the Ice being broke, I
think it would not be the last. Whether your papers see the
light or but continue upon the shelf the instruction you have gained by
them (for there is no learning well without teaching) will have already
afforded you rich payment for your trouble. They have led
you to exercise yourself with vigour and success address in the field of
analysis – the only track in which genius is manifested displayed and
useful truth discovered.
