Downing Street - March 27th.

Mr. Eden returns Compts. & Many Thanks to Mr. Bentham
for His obliging Communication of the Papers herewith return'd. —
Mr. Eden is too much hurried at present to give them so carefull a
Perusal as He could wish, but He will assign to that Purpose
the first two Hours He can command whenever the Whole is published.
He never meant to disclaim any Paper that can justly be
attributed to Him, & shd. readily have avowed the Preface in
Question even if it had not met with much general Approbation:
He enters however more cordially into any praises given to
the Drat. of the proposed Bill, because those praises are
chiefly due to some of the Judges, & particularly to One whose
Commentaries on the Laws of England place Him at the Head
of English writers. —

In answer to any Observations on the confined distribution
of the Bill, it seems sufficient to say that it is an unfinish'd
Work not intended yet for Publication. — The Matter is too complex
