Queens Square Place Westm:r March 30. 1794
Sir
The Session, in the judgement of every body I is according to all appearance
see is so fast approaching to its end, a conclusion which the
situation The Season is so far advanced, while the condition of the Panopticon plan, as far as
I can collect, is so much worse than stationary,
that I find myself under a necessity of requesting
the favour of you to convey a few words on the
subject as soon as possible to the notice of Mr Pitt
and Mr Dundas. to represent to Mr Pitt and Mr
Dundas how unavoidably the final fate of it depends upon that the fate of the Plan depends altogether upon
its accomplishment during the course of the present
Session a few particulars by
which they will see that
the final fact of it depends
unavoidably upon its
receiving the Sanction
of Parliament before the
session is at an end
The recapitulation statement of a few incidents some of of which
which have a part only have while others have not as yet fallen under
your cognizance will I hope satisfy prove to you that the dereliction
of the business on my part is the result not
of humour but of that sort of common measure/degree of ordinary prudence
without which a man would be very ill qualified
for undertaking a concern of that magnitude would have
been/ found itself in very improper hands
stood but an ill chance of being tolerably conducted.
It was some time I think before the close of
the last Sessions that at the conclusion of an audience you had the goodness
to obtain for me of Mr Dundas after speaking of some official communications that would be remained to be made to other members of the Cabinet you told me in added addressing
his patience yourself to me were pleased to add. And in the mean time Mr Bentham you may be
making your arrangements Mr Dundas who was at your elbow hearing and
as it seemed to me looking approbative signifying expressing concurrence but saying something to that effect on his part though as yet not otherwise than by looks
It was a considerable time afterwards that but still
a considerable time before the close of the then subsisting session, that I
was
