Queen's Square Place July 16th 1792.
Dear Sir
Excuse the liberty I take in taking you for my confident.
I am duly sensible to the honour of your good opinion
in favour of the Panopticon plan, and to the endeavours you have
so kindly used in support of it. — What I apprehend, and what
I even suspected from your letter is, that they have been ineffectual:
if so, the last favour I have to ask of you, nor that an
inconsiderable one, is that you will have the goodness to tell
me so. I have been assured most positively that the plan never
will be adopted, let what will be thought of it: for that the
gentleman to whose department it more particularly belongs has
personal predilections which are incompatible with it, and connections
much too strong for a stranger like me to get the better of.
Useless as it would be for me to allow myself to think about the
cause, I will state to you with equal simplicity the grounds I
myself have found for being apprehensive of the effect. At different
times variety of people have mentioned it to him — always with
approbation — no token of disapprobation on his part — nothing
