detail about the business, unless in the event of your thinking it necessary to call for it.
As a short proof that nothing less will serve, I need but refer you to the opinion
of Mr Nepean who, in the midst of ill health and herculean labour, and as a sincere
friend and well wisher to Mr Long himself, is stepping aside from his own business to force
Mr Long to bestow that small particle of attention which is all that is requisite to enable a
man of the most moderate capacity to understand what little there is to be understood upon
this subject.
Dialogue 1. Mr Nepean and Mr Long.
Mr Nepean. What is the reason you will neither see this man, nor take the smallest notice
of any thing he writes to you?
Mr Long- I hate the very sight of him.
Mr Nepean. How so? Has he ever given you any reason to complain of him?
Mr Long - None whatever.
Dialouge 2- Mr Bentham and Mr Nepean.
Mr Bentham. A motion is talked of for a Parliamentary enquiry into this business.
Mr Nepean. - I wish there were: -I am sure there ought to be.
It is without his knowledge that I report these conversations: but Mr Nepean's illustrious
probity is supported by so much firmness, that in confiding the anecdote to a discretion of which
I have so much reason to be assured, I am under no apprehension of his displeasure though he
were to know it.
