of that love of justice or hatred of injustice call it
which you please from which so many persons
in high and influential situations have received
that annoyance, the idea of which in the mind even by him
whose destiny it has been to produce it has been
accompanied by a sensation of uneasiness.
In the year 1759 this passion received another
stimulus: being then about 11 years in my 12th year of age upon a visit
in company of my father to a friend of his in Suffolk
and being as usual with me occupied in the ransacking
of the library chance threw into my hands
a copy of the Memoirs of Therese Constantia Phillips,
who at that same time was the occupier of that same
house which having about the year 1764 or 5
become my father's has with the some little
additions made by him ever since the year 1792
been in my occupation as it continues to be.
In early youth this celebrated courtezan for
such she was born of a high & respectable
family having a General for her father was
at the publication of that Memoirs or at least
had been a courtezan of no small celebrity.
