Ans – JB has never of his will service
whoever did to any service: had what proof, how any
of these given?

To be by so much as has been of any left
the Gentlemen have you general
the I would have by

Objection 5. Well, Sir if you please, you yourself shall be a well-meaning
man; and not only for the moment, but as long
as you live:⊞ ⊞ and for the purpose of the argument, even under so corruptive a plan as your's is, an honest manager: – and, even under this plan of yours a good moment but all this will not make your plan a
good one. Before your building is up you may die
you to You live to commence, and for a little while time carry on, the management this
is saying by death or infirmity you may be be it so. Sooner or later however there is an end of you:
of it: and then, whatsoever be the security
afforded by your personal character there is an end of it.

Answer 1. If, before the building is finished, I die; then
is my brother, an on whose plan, if shall it if for me, and in my life time it would will be built, if
before that time he dies also, there are others in this under whose direction
a building of on this same plan was lately compleated viz. at Petersburgh, and the management
of a correspondent establishment conducted, and
to whom the advantages of it are consequently accordingly well known by experience:
nor, would for the management is this would there be any
want of persons, to whom the principles of management, as
detailed in short the Panopticon book, and the book entitled on Pauper Management
are (herewith submitted) are already familiar, and who are perfectly competent to
the purpose of applying them to practice.

Answer 2. If, for a moment any such supposition be
endurable, as that, in my management there can be anything
worth copying, there is all and preserving, the nature of the case affords
as good a security as can reasonably be desired, of for its
being accordingly copied and preserved.

Yes, My Lord, if I am what I ought to be, such as I
am, such will my successors be. My rules – my practice
according to those rules, will be public: public as I, and the
press, and open door, can make them: the instant they cease
to be so, I say as before, out with me. Being public, what there is good in them
will be as so many laws to my successors: or, if they are not so,
the fault will be – not in me and my successors, but in Your
Lordship and your successors: whenever to any successor of mine
it happens to come from those supposed (by the supposition) good laws, out with him.
