1824. FebY. 19 J.B to Hon Leicester Stanhope - Greece
Sad has been and is the alarm among us
lest your family loss, which however could notscarcely have been
altogether unappreciated, together with a letter which
we hear has been sent to you by Lord Petersham,
should have the effect of a recall to England:
for great as the universal delight would be to
take you by the hand in any other circumstances,
every such consideration is drowned in the thought
of the loss which the cause of Greece and mankind
would suffer by your departure.
You will see me prating upon papers to your
constituted authorities: every thing of that sort is
a up to me: but it is an up which they chance me
here to swallow, and I can not but acknowledge
them to be in the right.
What shall I may say to you about agenda—
to you the trustiest, the most efficient and most
beneficial of all righthand men.2
Imprimis, now that there seems to be an
effectual demand for it, I have been revising,
and for the first time with due attention, my Parliamentary
Reform Bill, metamorphosed into an
election code, serving as an appendage to the con—situtional code. You have already, I believe, two
or three copies in this metamorphosed state: but upon a serious revisal, several corrigenda
now correct have been found. Of the want of
them, if any thing as been done with the work,
some and not improbably more or
less of absurdity, has I fear been the result.
