What use the constituted authorities in your
country are disposed to make and will make of my labours,
remains to be seen. The whole Spanish people, and not either exclusively
or in preference their rulers or any of them being
the objects of my sympathy, my endeavours for the service
of all will not be stopt by any coldness or even adverse
warmth on the part of the few. A few papers by which
thou mayest see in part on what footing I stand with
those rulers as well as with the rulers of some other
Countries, my own included, will, if I can so manage it,
accompany this letter. Stopt, I hope for no long time, by a
weakness in my eyes, from the completion and revisal
of a work already too long in hand addressed to your
Nation, and intituled "Rid yourselves of Ultramaria",
I have, in the way of dictation, made considerable advance
towards the completion of another work having for its
title First Lines or outlines
The design of it is—that, in the event on the eventual appearance of a work from your
constituted authorities — a work to which, from the view I
have taken of the details of your constitutional Code, and
of their liberticide and their late anti-commercial laws, I
have the mortification of expecting to find them far from sufficiently
prepared,—a test of utility, and, at any rate, a
standard of reference, may be in the way to meet them:
character of Constituents, will be assisted in their judgement
respecting the felicity that has been the result of the choice made
by them of their Representatives.
