least — not to speak of other bars — circumstantial
evidence is not altogether without its
weight. As to
one point then, does not the same wire which at
one time pulled the hand of a Nobl Noble Duke,
continue to pull the hand of his Noble successor, &
always in the same oblique and tortuous line —
The crowding plan — the plan so distinctly chalked out
by the epistle from the Upper-floor to the under —
is it not pursued still without deviation, pursued
in full view of the effect of it, by those who to
pursue it, & pursue it with full effect, have
nothing to do but to do nothing? - Then again as to
the fair side — the amiable — the friendly side of the
business — I beg leave to ask — unless for a friend, a
very particular friend indeed, is it in the nature
of man thus — thus compleatly — to expose himself ?
I say to expose himself: but to shew how compleat
the exposure is — & that on both sides — subsequent
events will require to be called in — subsequent events
which I now proceed to submitt to a pair of Noble
eyes on which they will make the same impression
as all preceding ones. Yes, my Lord, subsequent facts,
facts notorious and in direct proof — will manifest
themselves , and in doing so will point backwards,
& throw day light upon motives.

Theory has been spoken of —now comes experience: -
duty has been spoken of — now comes performance.
Even upon the face of the law, the duty is
meagre and inefficient: and performance falls
short even if the meagre scantling so carefully chalked out
