After Following the example of Lycurgus, the Protector ( some
of his friends here) — the Protector, after having established
order in Peru, introduces in his vocabulary to invest by
order, will bid adieu to the country for ever. If indeed
he follows that example, allowance made for the differences
in the state of the human mind as the time passed, his name
will share immortality with that of the G Le
Lacedæmonian Legislator Legislator of Lacedæmonia. If, on the other hand
Julius Caesar he be in design a Caesar, may that
Caesar, if nothing less will suffice, find a Brutus, is the undissembled wish of
Jeremy Bentham
The translation ordered by the Portuguese Cortes to be made of
my numerous works, with all possible dispatch is worth not
much, I am left of being compleated and even printed. When
printed my endeavour will be employed in obtaining a
copy to send to Peru. By the Liberator is my work the present
be reviewed with satisfaction: with by the Emperor with
fear and abhorrence.
Principles of Portugal
☞ To be transcribed on another sheet
Believe me, Sir, it grieves me to the heart to think of
the liberties I have felt myself obliged to take with you,
think of the smallness of the chance that, the of human
nature considered — especially human nature in your estimation
this intrusion has given itself for of being productive of any
such good effect as that it at. Notwithstanding every thing that is said Believe me Sir, I would
were I within your reach, without any the smallest reluctance I would cast myself at your feet,
if by any such gesture I had any assurance that my these my
be facilitated
Though you can
scarcely have a less
agreeable one any
where, you have can not
have a more sincere
friend in any one than
in me. For many
months past had I been flattering
myself, with the
hope of folding the liberatior of Peru, much about this time, or my embrace. How sadly have all such hopes been 1 dashed to the ground.
