Benjamin Constant returns many thanks to
Mr Jeremy Bentham for his valuable pamphlet
on the liberty of the Press. All the endeavours
of the ennemies of liberty will be fruitless, as
long as the good cause has such able Champions,
& it is a great encouragement
to every man of feeling & sense to see
his opinions adopted & protected by
writers of such antient & lasting reputation
as Mr. Bentham. B. Constant
will always do his best not to remain
behind hand in the defence of principles
which are the basis of all reasonable &
free Governments.
Pari 27<hi rend="superscript">th July 1821.
