A few days ago I received from a copy of the Hard-
-labour Bill as it has been brought into the House, together
with one of Eden's preface in a separate pamphlet under
the title of "Observations" on the above Bill. They were sent
me as a present by Judge Blackstone without any note
but with "From Mr Justice Blackstone" on the outside with
the direction. In the Bill there are various alterations.
They have adopted the greater part in number at least if
not in value of my suggestions: but some, the propriety of
which Wilson Douglas & I joined in looking upon as most incontestable
they appear to have neglected. In the Observations
the passages that I had written against are left out—In the Bill Your
epithet of "running" is prefixed to "water".

No notice is taken of my pamphlet in either of the Monthly
or Crit. Reviews for last month.—yet Lind says he saw printed
of early in the month a very commendatory account of it.
Clark the Stationer put into my hands yesterday a very short
but very commendatory account of it in the Westr Magazine

I have got a Code Russe in French published in 1775 or the
beginning of 1776 in a thinnish 4to It is on many accounts
my delight. Don't let the title frighten you as if it anticipated
us. It is only a plan for the stable putting the Courts of
Justice upon a regular establishment

A Tour to Petersburgh & Moscow 1778 by John Richard
—No such person I dare swear—a catchpenny
performance—an imposture. Cooke's Travels I hear have
been out these two or three years—I will hunt for them in the
Reviews.
