romantic, ever so chimerical, ever so absurd, no
possible reflection could fall upon your Lordship
for bestowing giving it the assistance here requested in question. The
shame of the absurdity will fall upon the shoulders heads
of those to whom it is due: upon the inventor author who
now addresses you me who contrived, upon Sir C. Bunbury who
first took it up, upon Administration who have adapted:
to judge trouble yourself with sitting in judgment
upon the propriety of the plan is no obligation
incumbent on your Lordship, on the footing either
of duty or prudence: the judges and sole judges
of its propriety in this view are the members
of Administration: it is they and they only are
responsible for it. Judging of it Taking it up they then by form their report
and upon their credit, whatever assistance
your Lordship may be pleased to lend to the
plan, be it good, bad or indifferent, the public
not to mention so inconsiderable an individual
as myself will owe you equal thanks.
