Having had occasion to locate the subject.
with a degree of exactness compared to of the
spirit if not of to the letter of mathematics
I found the complexion of what I had to say
but ill suited to the task of the generality of
readers — to partake very little of the complexion
of that sort of work which a reader of the
same would prefect expect to find in a
paper on a subject appearing by its title to
come within the department of political politics
economy — and such as the properties by
which it seemed unfitted for a pamphlet
even such as seemed to render it but the
minor to the dangers vices of the respectable
society to which I take the liberty of
addressing it by your hand
