forced to proceed altogether upon the ground of the said view —
whence divers undesigned misrepresentations may have arisen.
What I want is some charitable hand to take the penitentiary
art & by a few notes at the bottom of the page correct such
misrepresentations for the benefit of the unlearned reader —
These notes might be prefaced & accounted for by some such advertisement
as this — " At the request of several of the author's friends
one of them has subjoined a few notes for the purpose of correcting
some undersigned misrepresentations, of the danger of which he was
aware, but which the distance of his situation rendered unavoidable"
You may then disavow in what term you please
all combination & confederacy &c — It remains for the learned
to determine whether it were best in an 8vo form for the faint
chance of being bound up by a few people with the poor view
of the Hard Labour bill, or in the 12mo in which case it
might make a bindable book of itself — Two or more architectural
drawings will accompany it but as they are mere outlines
any body may execute them & the expence will be but a trifle —
Perhaps the publisher will manage that — Alderman Clark had
once a protégé in that line of the name of Sharpe — If he is
not dearer than other people which Payne I suppose could tell
if it were worth asking, which it can hardly be, this Sharpe
might as well be employed as any body else —

A possibility upon a possibility is that we may pay England a
visit in the course of the Summer in a Vessel of Sam's invention
manned by a part of his battalion — If so it will be from Cherson
or a port in the Crim; and perhaps we may make a point of
pushing for England without without touching any where in the passage.
In that case we want to know whether, plague or no plague in the
Levant, we should be obliged to perform Quarantine — You could
tell us by looking into the Acts or otherwise — There is no knowing
before hand whether tit will bear the sea or no, but a small
trial
