Panopt. Observats on Holford

1. As to personal character – it seems odd as it may seem
as a thing to be contended for on the part of an individual
that it was not any personal confidence
that there was little or nothing of what was personal to himself in
the confidence thus known to have been reposed in him
by two such persons as the late Mr Pitt or the late Lord
Melville, yet whatsoever of compliment there may be
in the supposition, he is neither disposed nor obliged
to accept of it at the expence of truth.

Neither to with them nor to any other of the distinguished
persons who were in any way instrumental
in procuring acceptance for his offer, for such it was without
the least particle of colour of anything like sollicitation had he ever been in
any sort of habit: with Mr Pitt it had happened to
him a good many years before to live for a few days
together in the same family: but without any share of ulterior
intercourse and manifested or intimated on either side.
True it is that In the opinion estimation of those several persons the sort of
character which he possessed was that sort of character which
is possessed by an obscure individual who of whom because
no harm had ever been done by him no harm could be
known and who though he had written something
had never done anything because no opportunisties of
doing anything had ever been placed or fallen in his
way.
