Panopticon versus New South Wales Introductory Note Private to Ld Pelham
9th Aug 1802

The colours laid in this paper on the characters of persons, are
such as had been forced into my hands, by the incidents related
in preceding ones. Were this part to be printed separately, the passages
bearing reference to these incidents might come to be omitted,
modified, or enlarged, according to circumstances, such as the order
in which each publication might happen to present itself &c &c.

As to personalities, no statement of equal length was perhaps
ever so compleatly impersonalized, as that given in my Evidence as
printed in the 28th Report of the Committee on Finance 26th June 1798:
a complaint produced by a then no more than four years course
of perfidy, for a purpose too corrupt to have been ever defended,
though too notorious to have been ever denied. The only reward for the
forbearance manifested under that injury having been the doubling the
duration of it (for to this purpose the variegated mass of additional
injury crowded into the same space is scarce worth mentioning) it
is this by necessity that I find myself impelled to hold men up to
view individually, and by their names, lest, for want of a mark to
fix upon, public indignation should spend itself upon the air
without any use to justice.
