12 Sept 1812 To Ld Sidmouth

In conclusion my Lord, the dealings grievance <add>ded</add> which a belief of the
public and myself I have ventured to denounce complain of to your
Lordship may be summed up in the following charges - viz

1. Public money to the amount of several hundred
thousands wilfully spent in waste in the first instance

2. The plan resorted upon without any regard whatever
to the expense: to this liv as act of
has ever been made of four kinds of expence, viz.
Building fitting up, furnishing and stocking, the
estimate called for and received the intendedand Architect
Mr Hardwicke applies but to one

3. By the enormity of the expence the expendituredesiquidly spread
over extra large and indefinte number of years.
Articles for the whole that indefinte length of time
the public deprived of the very commencement of
the proposed service, seemly as it is.

4. By the enormity of the expence again the service
deprived of all reasonable hope of that extensive compleat to
which under the plan which it is intended to put
aside for ever might and could be given to it: confined
almost to a conty to the very headnt extent viz
be it in the first instance.

5. On the score of the Official Establishment are unlimited
annual expence engaged for: and these two without
estimate, of sentences, without so much as a list of the offers
at first proposed: without a syllable submitted in those to
Parliament.
