"I verily believe , to expend from the public purse
"four thousand pounds in any way more beineficial
"to the community than that which is here pointed out". *
Thus far the worthy Magistrate . - A supposition,
unquestionably though tacitly assumed in the hypothetical
offer thus made by him , is — that on the other
part some regard would be paid to the ruler of
common honesty ; that the County would not be made
bankrupt to him , as Parliament has been made
to me : and that after his proposal had been
accepted , his capital with the concurrence of the
acceptors as advanced upon the faith of it , and Acts
of Parliament , if necessary , obtained for it , he would
not have to see the execution of it set down in petto
for the Greek calends , by any such person as the
predecessor of the "great person" he is so afraid of
flattering — not to speak of successors . — To the
not add to the County rates the worthy Magistrate's own imagination
(Your Lordship may venture to assure him) is the likeliest place for
finding what he wants .
