Here, Sir, ends the intended Memorial. But
in the course of my conversation with Mr Long, some
hints fell from that Gentleman, which could
not, as it seems to me, be with equal propriety
taken notice of in any such paper, and which at
the same time seemed to material not to be
reported, Sir, to your. His notion was that there
might be a spot found such as is or might be
made equally eligible some where on Hounslow
Heath, inasmuch as it has or is at one time or
other to have in some way or other the benefit of
Water-Carriage. My answer was that such a spot,
if it does exist (for I know of no manageable canal
as yet existing on Hounslow Heath) would not
by any means to be equally eligible: not with a view
to the public service, for want of equal vicinity to
the great seat of public inspection, the Metropolis:
not with a view to my own private economy,
an object essentially connected with the public service)
for want of equal vicinity to that great depot
of raw materials, & finished goods.

On my speaking of the faith of the engagement,
& of the old spot as the basis of the proposal
that had been accepted, he had thereupon
the candour to admitt, that certainty whatever were
the terms contained in it, I could not be considered
