J. B. to Sec. Peel 9
and freedom, I could clasp to my bosom, see my doors
still closed: though my inaccessibility has been made
as notorious as without advertisement it could be, men
from various countries are incessantly hovering still hover about those same
unwillingly closed doors.
The case is that in this man has been
fulfilled a wish, which, but for him, could never have risen
to hope. By Horne Tooke I saw done all that I felt
myself not prepared to do, and but for more useful pursuits
should have endeavoured to do, for universal Grammar.
By M.r Humphreys I have seen done, and better
than I could have done, the only thing that I have not felt
prepared to do, for universal legislation. Here, Sir, you see
at once the cause, and with it the sincerity, of the sentiments
above declared.
As to yourself, for Taking him in hand, if on any ground I was were capable
of being an object of fear, on this ground you would
have nothing to fear from me. His endeavours will would of
course be limited by your support: my assistance by
his endeavours.
If in your judgment, Sir, (always on the
supposition of your taking up M.r H's plan), the success accomplishments of
it, in the whatever shape you think right to give to it,
will be more likely to be promoted than thwarted prevented by your
noticing this offer, you will act accordingly: if more
likely to be thwarted by it prevented than promoted, you would,
