Sir
On the specimens of Manifold writing herewith sent.
On p. 43 of the copy which I took the liberty of sending
you of my Article in the Westminster Review on Mr. Humphrey's
Code, mention is made of the mode of writing called the Manifold
mode. In the event of your looking into that pamphlet, it has
occurred to me, that you might perhaps not be disinclined to
see a specimen of the result. I accordingly herewith take the
further liberty of inclosing four three pages of it. Three Two of them, namely
those which contain some observations of my own, were already
written, when it occurred to me that perhaps you might be
disposed to communicate a specimen of that invention to one
person or anothe,r to whom it would not be thought
advisable to communicate the abovementioned three. I have
accordingly added the fourth, which contains nothing but
two Extracts from your speech on Criminal Law Consolidation,
together with an extract from Mr. Hammond's two
Letters on the subject of codification, as coming from a
learned gentleman, who writes as from authority, and as
giving intimation of a design which, so far as regards the subject
