Conn. Obs
SS4 Symptoms
The instructions that dictated the recommendation this epistle may, for
might I can ever morebe certain of notwithstanding, have been favourable to
the plan: they may have been so for aught I can
say with authority to the contrary with certainty, even now, after
all the light that has has been thrown upon them by
the event. At the time, my housing was the housing of my mind was turned pretty
decidedly on the affirmationfavourable sides: partly I suppose, by
force of the natural principle of self-delusion, but part
also, because I could not figure to myself
what theadvantage Honourable or Right Honourable Gentlemen could give themselves get by deceiving
me. By doing nothing, they would
equally keep the establishment from keeping coming into
existence: the art The art was not a difficult one: it
was what Mr Secretary Long had a natural turn
for, and in the present instance he had already had
given himself four years practice in it. By doing
nothing, they might always defeat the establishment:
there was nothing I saw to hinder them:
and they could do no worse by it, by doing what
they did getting me to pursuetake the advice they gave
me.
