mentioned. Likewise any papers relative to
Botany Bay. And any other papers that may
strike you as likely to be of use in the way of
furnishing Dates for the Bill. I got over, near
a twelve months ago, the Journals of both Houses as
low down as they were then to be brought. How low
that is I cannot pretend to say; for, the occasion
blowing over, I have not yet, to confess the truth
got the box home. Could you honestly supply me
with any that are not to be bought? A copy of an
unpublished fragment of a suspended work which
I thought then of publishing on Parliament<hi rend="superscript">y Tactics</hi>
on the occasion of the commencement of the French
business shall follow you to Ireland, with two others
which I will beg the favour of you to present for me
to the Speakers of the two Houses.
Mr Orde's Education-plan it happens oddly
enough that I have never yet seen. I shall immediately
now: and if I should find any thing to say
upon the subject, as I probably shall, the experience
I have of your indulgence leaves me little doubt
of a hearing. Do you happen to want a plan of
Education just now, or a plan of any thing else?
These are my amusements. One thing pretty much
the same to me as another: and it is more pleasant
to a man to write to some purpose than to none.
As the Panopticon-book refers to the old View
of the Hard-Labour-Bill, might it not be of use
there should be a few copies of this View in Ireland?
