Astan

Sire

Along with this letter your MS will I
hope receive the introduction to a work a b book entitled Principles of
legislation, which I beg leave with all respect
to lay at your M's feet.

Under the fatigue of travelling through such
a task so arduous it has been no small encouragement
to me to think reflect hope that in Poland [might
be in the number of the countries in which if
any where it might be of use that] the first
person of that country a man was one whom without
the imputation of flattery (an imputation so odious
to an English ear) I might reckon in
the number of those who are but gratified to
do justice to the [its merits if it may have any]
sit in judgment over it. and It is a circumstance
of additional encouragement satisfaction that in addressing presenting
myself itself to your Majesty I might this enlightened judge I should converse
both as it were plead my excuse for itself without the intervention of an interpreter
and as it were face to face: and that
therefore in making its way to his approbation
it would find no other [obstacle] difficulty than what
might result from its own intimate deficiencies unworthiness.
in point of merit
