at open upon await the result of the communication and the conferrer — But

But if such be the cost and difficulty that press hang upon
this first step, in what further length of time can a
man now in the decline of life be permitted to look for the accomplishment
of the + + so much wider search subsequently announced perambulation to be performed
in that august circle of which the Majestys
Last High Chancellor is the center? In the mean time
— how deep soever may be the offence given by the obnoxious
project — putting aside every such wild and romantic
and exotic and uncourtly idea as that of obligation — consulting
nothing but the dictates of that mercy — of mercy of which
Your Lordship's breast under his Majesty's is it seems the fountain —

project and projector — had their coup de grace?

Pardon once more this excursion my Lord into
which this conceit of about obligation led — my my noble friends has somehow
or other betrayed me: To him I Upon him I lay the blame for Your
Lordship sees it is the proposition of his not mine none of mine, though I think I am and alike unfortunate in the projectors office confident I have met with something not very different from
it in books — In I say in books: for it is from that
source I must have drawn [my conception] and not from
any thing like experience [I have had of the official world] if any such conceptions have ever been entertained by me as if it
has ever seemed to me [the laws acts of Parliament were not
made to be trod upon, engagements to be broken,] seals of
office were not made to be play'd with, grain boxes to be slept
upon over, public engagements to be broken, trifled with laws to be trod upon,
Parliament the Treasury to be made bankrupt, to serve a private purpose —
and unavowable though but too notorious purpose, and repeatedly
charged and more desired and sometimes confessed though never unavowed because unavowable but too notorious purpose.
