86 §.10. (2)
secret) without any of these grounds for it's support. If to my Arbitrators
the sum should, in any degree appear excessive - greater in a word by
any amount than the sum which it should appear to them proper to award
to me, much more excessive would it appear, to any person regarding the
plan or either of the individuals, as above, with an unfriendly eye. Thus, while
every thing in the way of compensation and consolation is an object
of the most profound uncertainty, scorn and ridicule is a result
which, in the situation I am deprecating, I might be but too well
assured of. As to hostility, whether of that sort of feeling there
be any deficiency, a slight glance upon the Report and the Evidence
on which it is grounded, would enable any person to judge - not
that to any of the persons in question any personal offence can
ever have been given by me: but of all hostility, the most implacable
is commonly that, which has never been preceded by any offence.

As to the calculation, which it has been necessary to hazard, if upon that and consequently
upon it's authors, any such imputation as that of absurdity and
extravagance should really be cast, a consolation, which will not
be wanting to them, is - that whatsoever it may be their lot to suffer
on that score, it will not be suffered but in good company: in
company with the Treasury Board, and the Secretary of State's Office
for the whole time, beginning in March 1793, or rather in Jan. 1791,
and ending in March 1800: not to speak of the Finance Committee
of 1797-8.
