Introductory Observations. Panopticon Bill.

I have taken a degree of liberty, which I should have been far enough from assuming
had the measure been either in reality or in appearance an original measure of Administration,
and as such given to me to put into a Parliamentary shape. At the worst, should any
thing of responsibility on this score be found to attack any where else, a word or a look
would be sufficient to shake it off. My hope with regard to all these Clerical minutiae, as
well as my expectation is, that there will not be a creature in the House, unless it be the Clerks,
who will think of bestowing on them a moment's notice: if there should, then peccata suum
teneant auctorem: on which terms, so they be but admitted as harmless, let them be laughed at
as ridiculous: and let those who vouchsafe them admission be the first to laugh at them.
Always understood, that whatever toleration I may wish for in behalf of any thing that differs
in any respect from what is most usual, depends, as upon a condition sine quâ non, upon
its being deemed so much the better for use.
