To Ld Sidmouth
It is only for men and as this made of the
sort of materials of which the humble individual in
question can not but confess himself to be made –
men of plebeian mould, to be sensible to any such
seductions as those against which such an arrangement
of that sort is designed to guard. Far above all
such feelings sensations soar rise the feelings of Honourable and Right
Honourable Gentlemen. In Pressed upon occasion with digestion appropriate
energy upon the Honourable bosom, a hand of theirs from them is
beyond all security which it is in the power of the sort
of dirt called money to afford
Between two such Honourable Gentlemen no wonder
that of so dirty sordid an object as economy, all considerations
were from the very outset left as the to which they congenial.
The thing In the first place and at all events the thing to be
done was determined to be done: when everything was
settled, then and not till then comes the consideration rose from the floor
of the a upon the carpet the vulgar consideration of the expence.
Meantime my Lord, either I am in a strange error,
or of those two modes species of management of economy it is by the
Honourable one that a country is ruined, it is by the
vulgar one if saved it is at all, that it is saved.
