Review of Humphreys
A 8 2o
Objects
(8 Machinery
Commissioners Expence
16
Embarassment secured by
negotiating Commissions
Saving of the money wanting
for Christian and Palace
Patronage is desirable
but as the people are starving
and may not always be content
to be so, a backstairs
and Christian made
splendor can be spared neither
by Tory nor Whig,
as upon a spontaneous Aristocratical
or a backstairs Vote
might throw it out.
In these my humble endeavours to extinguish in
the mist his two sources of Commissioners I please myself
with the idea of relieving his plan from no inconsiderable
embarassment: for the £520,000 which he
has need of has just been laid hold of by the Right
Honourable Arbiter Elegantiarum for augmentation of the splendor
of the crown:⊞ ⊞ an object in the
accomplishment of which
Wh From the
have not all been
with
Tories and Whigs
both this has alw
at all times been
an honourable emulation
between both
sides of Honourable
House, and through the augmentation of patronage
is at all times a concurrent object of solicitation regard
of effectual care; yet considering that the people are
starving in proportion as splendor and patronage is augmenting,
and that they may not in every state of things
be quite so contented to be thus starved as they are at
present [+] [+] and as Lord
Sidmouth is not
in office to reward
Clergymen for ordering
them to be cut to pieces a competition between the splendor and the patronage
might not improbably be discovered to have place, in
which case security for property would might be
found not worth having, and a backstairs vote might
accordingly put an end to it.
17
Small difference between
the already incurred
Palace splendor in my
and H. annual
commission more.
The allotted splendor money, I may be told is no more
than £502,690: and to convict me of calumny
reference may be made to the House of Commons Ms
Papers of the year Nos 405 and 437 in which
putting for Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle together
that is the exact sum allotted: Bit My defence is — this is not
bill as per account but as per estimate: and whether
it is in public work not to speak of private
ones it is usual for expenditure to be so little on one
hand not to say one half as much again as estimate
I will beg leave to the experienced is what I should be to refer
glad to hear from is an article of information with which it would rest with
any such gainsayers to
provide me
