My Lord, what ruined them (I mean with
Your Lordship if not with the world in point of
character – as much as they themselves have ruined me
in other points, is this – For four years
and more before the commencement of this period
they had been speculators of my patience. They
had even made witnessed an experiment made upon
the patience of the public – and no harm had
happened to them. I had painted them to
the life: the picture had even been hung
up and framed by the Committee of Finance.
There was perfidy – there was laziness – there
was incapacity – there was every thing that
could degrade a set of men in every eye
that chose to look that way: But no
eye, as they found, had chosen been in a burnover – had found
it convenient to look that way. Not None within
doers – for this and that, and I don't
know many thousand reasons. Not without
doers – why? – because the picture had
no names to it. As for blame shame and scandal
indeed – of that there was no want. As little
in general is there any want of despotism in
the public eye to fix upon it, so long as John or Thomas individual
can be found to fasten it upon. But in
this that picture of mine – and I am sure I
need say to Your Lordship why) there was not
such one individual there was not a single name to
any
