I am curious to know whether you think
any use can be made of my quarto book
for the public of your country; viz: in the
way of extract, or abridgement or something of
that sort: for as to a translation it is
altogether out of the question. Several Some of my friends

and Condereal might be able to get through with

island. Without. So might D'Alembert & Cadillac
had they been alive. The unreadableness of it
I lay partly at your door: it was you withas much as any body
your Prospectus &c. and your definitionsand divisions of
value that led me into that tramtrack.
