J. B. to Rochfoucault
2
Then there was the of his House, who to flatter his guest in
a manner at once more delicate and more
than by words, kept was busy as a bee, cutting open before and after supper
the three first volumes of Dumont.
"When your Panopticon is up — Tend you I will get to England
or me more and look at it." This I remember yesterday
<gap/> At that time, the expectation was not altogether .
it has long since vanished. For £27,000 public money
with what private I could find means to add to it I could get I was to have built a
prison for 1000 persons. At this present time the purse to whom
the business appertains exposed his hole other day in the House of Commons to keep down the expense
of a building in that
same place for that
same number on
his place
it belongs at present here made to meet to other day of
to work a building for the
and building it on be better of £500,000 as
as £500,000; which in a newspaper that lies before
me a critic has the impertinence to insist that it can
not be compleated for so little as £750,000. In addition
to the prevention of abuse by the constant presence
mischief in every shape by the characteristic form of
, my plan included services innumerable
to not one of which does the existing one so much as
portend to raider. Will you a Bastille or has for these thirty years been but a name: will
we thus same prison — the fruit of Lord Sidmouth
and the wisdom and humanity of Lord Sidmouth
has added existence to it. Without express order from his Lordship's
office or a person under his command not a creature can be admitted. not long ago
a Grand Jury met with a refusal, and complained to me
of it. But the man who t'other day gave a Priest a
living of £2500 LIt 2,500 a year for livery massacre
men women and children by hundreds, only for meeting to hear
speeches upon parliamentary reform — you may imagine what he cares for friend
Juan In this sham ,, since we began our war of blood against your your opinion, has have our national expenses been conducted: no wonder that our wishes endeavours to
capture all Europe are rendered abortive, by the utter inability to screw the rack of taxation any tighter.
