Jeremy Bentham Esqre
Beckenham Kent Febry 19th 1792
Sir
I have received the honour of your letter of the 14th Instt
address'd to me at Lambeth Palace, & I am glad to have
the occasion of expressing my acknowledgements to you for
the perusal of a work from which I have derived great
Information & Satisfaction.— My admiration of ingenious
ideas express'd in liberal and elegant language is not affected
by the consideration that some of those ideas differ from mine
& are levell'd against an undertaking which in concurrence
with the late Sr Wm Blackstone I had a principal share in
bringing forwards, & which I left under the respectable Protection
of Sr Chas Bradbury, Mr Howard, Dr Fothergill &
Sr Gilbert Elliot.— I shall be glad to converse
fully with you on the subject, if ever I should be so far
settled in this country as to have the means of promoting
such parts of your humane views as I think practicable.
at present my situation in the foreign Line suspends
my attendance in Parliament.—
I am with great & sincere Esteem
Sir your most obedt Humble servant
Auckland
