J. B. to Baron de Leffert. 1
Jeremy Bentham to the Baron de Leffert

Dear Sir
The name which lies before you is already
The name which you see already have seen is a tax upon your
memory. It was not fair to give you this early notice, that
I thought it but fair to give you that at the
you might choose the choice between reading on and toffing by
what the option is to the reading and
might to include with least expense to a time so much too valuable to be trifled with.

Now for the occasion. Eyes such as yours are of course
continually on their travels over the habitable globe Viewed
through a French the same exhibited by the
regeneration of Spain can not but be familiar to you,
not so perhaps through an English one. In copying the letter to the Duc de la Rochefoucault at the end of p.3 begin here Edward Blaquiere
a most useful serviceable friend of mine, would is? in no inconsiderable degree
to satisfy my curiosity which that view may have left unsatisfied.
It is of the noble Irish family of that name
There lived of this family once a Sir John Blaquiere Was of that name being a Parliamentary leader and one of the number
of the proprietors of
seats in the House of
Commons
a Major Christopher Bungrange a Borough manager,was ennobled
much about the time of the Union and I believe on that
occasion. He himself is in the naval service. Though
in rank he is not higher than a Lieutenant, he was 6 or 8
years ago or thereabouts for some time in the command of a Kings ship in
the Mediterranean and in that capacity distinguished himself
in various ways, amongst others by saving a Bey of Tunis
from an insurrection. In the world of letters he is
to advantage by several works: one of them entitled Letters
from the Mediterranean in which some mention is made I believe of the Tunis adventureIt afforded me an instruction
an instructive amusement entertainment at the time of its first appearance one instruction
According to the report of a A friend of mine, who served in the English Army
in Sicily, not long afterwards his bravery, but I know not on what occasion in particular
was much talked of t that time.
