Killing no Murder
Neither the stage of Law the laws
4
In this age and
nation the life
of an obnoxious
individual can
not be attempted
with life of opportunity
than by
the slow poison
of mental agony
— obnoxious in
Italy
In this age and nation neither the state of the laws manners
nor the state of the laws manners admitt of
any premeditated attack being made with any tolerable
prospect of impunity by any person however dignified
or with whatsoever power fortified any otherwise
than by poison: nor by poison of any other
class than that class of slow poisons which work only
on the mind.
in that ingenious
profession
Had the scene laid in Italy, the prosecution of
this design desirable end would have cost Right some Right
Honourable or Honourable Gentleman a good dinner
or at least a cup of chocolate, besides the characteristic
ingredient in it: but then, if the business
was not badly managed bungled misconducted to a degree
without example — trusted confided for example to a
Signor Albo or Albam of the profession — of the supposing a
profession in which requiring so so much skill is required to admitt
of a match in point of clumsiness to Mr White
it would have succeeded. As it is the attempt plan has
not cost so much as even a cup of chocolate to any
Right Honourable or Honourable Gentlemen of the sort:
but then on the other hand it has failed, it has
failed as to every purpose of their own security:
though unfortunately as to the destruction of eight years
of the most valuable part of the life of the destined virtue,
its success has been but too mournful and compleat unquestionable
irreparable. — Yes, my Lord, they have murdered
my best days!

In France, in the
case of
it was attempted
but not with
can in France.
