10 Sept. 1812
To Ld Sidmouth
In the present instance Ten years this expended, and
except the putting aside my the plan by which something
would have been, in all that time nothing done always
excepting the salaries and the patronage and all the discourse
of which the real inducement was composed.
Now my Lord my £100,000 what would
a Panopticon what would be have been the time requisite for
the completion of it? A single year would have been
sufficient. Within a single year Ld House
in Southampton Row was 40 years ago within a single year Ld Oxfords in
Grosvenor Place was t'other day compleated.
That is short for the completion of it the smallest time possible
should be taken is sufficiently manifest: till it be, nothing
that I do is or ought to be valuable to me can take
its commencement.
