Le bel I
Libiles politiques — very improvidently
(I speak of it with compunction) I sent
off to Romilly and Koe your Letter
without having taken a copy of that
passage in it which relates to this subject:
for in this case every thing may depend
upon a word. Now restrain your
indignation my dear Dumont if it
be possible, that, upon Mill's reading it
to me, it cost neither of us one minute
to declare, which we did both of us with
one voice, that this law of yours would
be beyond comparison worse than
none. Though we do not either of us
remember the exact words we remember
both of us enough of the indisputable
import to be but too well satisfied
that supposing it to pass the constituted
authorities might cause to be
punished any man who in any
case dare to express his disapprobation
of any of their measures.
