To Dr Small
As the world judges, one upon examination
and nine hundred, and ninety-nine upon authority<add>trust</add> the declaration of your
opinion upon any point of legislation would be worth
I wont pretend to guesssay how
the declaration of your opinion how many voted: but
of a side to which conviction and candour
had brought you over from the opposite one,
would be worth at least twice or thrice as
many: in under such circumstances the authority
of the converter would tell for little in comparison
of that of the proselyte, especially
such a proselyte. We should have the Irish
Chancellor of the Exchequer abjuring his annual
motion in the face of the House, and Ld
Hawkesbury who they say it has been said is Mr Pitts
tutor in this wise business, quietly and silently
putting his papers and calculations
into the fire.
