Preface to Letters to Ld Pelham
9 June 1813
With the pages spread out before them for months Noble Lords have been looking out for something to say, as long as they
have been Noble Lords: and the longer they had been looking, the further
they have been from finding. In the agony bitterness of their distress they
at length shifted off the burthen upon the shoulders of Honourable Gentlemen
and to this moment Honourable Gentlemen have been are as to the last moment they will continue to be as mad and
as distressed as Noble Lords. Whatsoever may be said in regard of other arts
their profession proficiency in the arts of silence is on this occasion at least beyond
dispute.
From gentlemen more than one to whom these pages have been submitted
Audiam alteram partem has been was the answer. This maxim has been
long known in the character of a rule of justice: is connection subserviency/harmony with
the rules of political prudence is not alike paramount altogether, but in the
present instance it is indispensable. There is no altera pars: or
what comes to the same thing none that will be ever heard: of
silence be the of political possibility. In the present case, no
alteram pars exists is [to] be got: or what comes to the same thing, none which
to which is either agreeable or convenient to be heard. Where
the office of speaker is a sinecure; the office of hearer may be
accepted without reluctance.
A is a blank throughout—
a deliberate well-considered
well-debated blank: a blank
destined to remain a
blank so long as power
can preserve it.
