1. J.B. Myself to draw up, by way of a sample a Penal Code
in nominis: supported throughout by Specific reasons, according to
the specimen exhibited in Dumonts Book. What I require by For this there needs
way of security for my labours not being thrown away is an assurance neither more nor less than the Emperors command under his hand, coupled
under his Majesty's hand with an assurance that he will read it give a g give the work a reading.
[it being understood that it shall likewise be published at
{ Petersburgh by his Majesty's authority [under my name] either by
{the New Commission or by the Department of the Interior, unless in
{ the event of special orders by his Majesty to the contrary]
and to to be published,
if the
Emperor should
say nothing to
the contrary.
These terms complied with, I am compleatly paid: whence
af it follows that all negotiations between N. and me are
unnecessary.
After the number of years already expended
on the subject, and with the such encouragement as above I am pretty confident in being able to compleat
it in send it out of my hands in six months from
the day of my being honoured with his Majesty's commands.
[1] To you, this will not
appear out of nature;
In my Mother's some situation
indemnities
were indispensable; in
mine they are not wanted.
From By this sample, his Majesty well is enabled to determine whether
to command my services in relation to the other parts of the Pannomion (compleat body of the laws) on the same terms.
The Supposing the general complexion of the work approved of, the applying
to it such modifications as would be necessary to accommodate
it to the peculiar circumstances of the Russian Empire
would be a separate but comparatively an easy task. I should expect to find
such a man as Speranski [compleatly] qualified for it.
S.B. Subjects does not disapprove. Foreigners
will.
