I remember also that to have confessed to
your Lordship that the constitutional branch
was that which of above all others had hitherto occupied
the smallest share of my attention. But
that it either has or could have been altogether
unattended to unnoticed by me – that it has
not may be seen by several various passages in the
my book: (refer to them) that it could not
have been will be sufficiently plain to any
one who considers how inextricably all
the several branches (into which the principles
of government may be divided) are interwoven.
The loom being set, I can at pleasure
take up the thread and carry spin it on wherever
it is broken.
If in return for the rich harvest of instruction I shall
be sure of to reap (it should be my good
fortune to afford any) I should be able to
flatter myself with the notion of having afforded
any, it will be one of the most
honourable as well as the most flattering circumstances
of my life.
