I cannot assign any determinate limits, either at present
or at any future part of the short remainder of my long
life. Alas! poor Spaniards! So mountainous a heap of
imperfections & inconsistencies; of arrangements that ought
not & of arrangements that could not by any possibility, he earned into effect; and in all
this no alteration, till at the end of an indeterminate length
of time, commencing at the end of a period— I think it
was of about 8 years.
But on the part of legislation, the more accomplished
his inaptitude, the more strenuous supposing
his sincere in his persuasion of the consummateness of
his own aptitude absolute & comparative: of his superior
wisdom not only in comparison of all other men, but in
comparison of himself at a more experienced & a mature
period of his exle existence
Since my last I have obtained thro Bowring, thu
& over of some amendments to the style of the copy of
my letter to Jeremy, a copy go which you I hope received
in my last. Time & eyes have been waiting for
the complete perusal of them: but a few examples have
suffer to let me see, that in rendering my words into
correct French, the ideas my would make me
convey, differ very materially from those which I thought
to have conveyed & would have conveyed it I could. The
truth is, the French is of all the leading languages of
Europe the most imperfectly adapted to the desirable
purposes of language.
