Dear Bentham:
It would be very much out of your way to go
to Petersburg by the way of Vienna. If you intend
to go by land there, your nearest way is by
Berlin, but from Vienna as well as from Berlin
you may go with the diligence, which goes
regularly twice or three times a week, tho' I
am not informed and it would be indeed difficult to
get information whether the diligences from Berlin
to Petersburg (because this is always even by the way of
Vienna the route to Petersburg) are so good convenient as those
from Vienna to Berlin. These latter go day and
night but and are covered like those in france: but
in some parts of his dominions the
diligences are nothing but open carts. The
best what you could do . would be to go
either from Vienna or Berlin with a Russian
Courier which pass and repass very frequently
between these three courts; you
go there as cheap as with the diligence (about
10 or 12 guineas from Vienna to Petersburg but must
at any rate always provide for your nourriture.
But as I think upon the whole, that you
are not able to just go with the inconveniences
of such a journey, (the couriers as well as
the diligences go on day and night) + would
