and more than I regarded myself as having any claim to.
Such as it was, the injunction implied in it has been fulfilled
by me, in so far as it has been in the power of the
completest secresy to fulfill it. An intimation, howsoever
obscure, of the part which I regard as having been taken by you in relation to the subject
in question I have heard read in some newspaper. From whatsoever
source the intimation may have come, nothing that I have said or done
can have contributed any thing to it. On this subject, by the bye, when
the time is ripe, I may perhaps have a somewhat new view
of the matter to submitt to you. What you and I agree in
wishing, might I think be compassed more effectually, as
well as extensively, than by any exercise that can be given
to a virtually dispensing power.
I will not willingly, Sir, tax, for mere civilities,
a time such as your's. Silence, continued for ten
days after this date, will be an answer.
Letter and answer will form an incident —
it may be an epoch — in our respective lives: not to say
in the future history of the habitable globe.
I am Sir
with the most unfeigned respect,
Yours
Jeremy Bentham.
