To Morellet
matter subject in the light that
I do I would either
employ people to stand
at the doors with copies
to sell to the Members
as they went in
send copies gratis to the
poor members such as
Curés & Labourers, and
employ people to stand
at the doors with copies
to sell to the rich
I am curious to know whether you think
any use can be made of my quarto book
for the public of your country; viz: in the
way of extract, or abridgement or something of
that sort: for as to a translation it is
altogether out of the question. Several Some of my friends
say that it contains all truth: but as man conceives
it possible for any other man to get
through it. It was all Arabick to Ld Lansdowne
and Ld Camden. Possible among Frenchman you
and Condereal might be able to get through with
it if you were each of you alone and without any other back in a desert
island. Without. So might D'Alembert & Cadillac
had they been alive. The unreadableness of it
I lay partly at your door: it was you withas much as any body
your Prospectus &c. and your definitionsand divisions of
value that led me into that tramtrack.
