Time not admitting of my revising the copies; and the hands by which they will have been taken being such as chance furnished, and all of them unknown to me, errors, to a greater or less amount, in addition to those in the original, are a little less than certain consequence: but Valiat quantam valere potest! Doctor Puigblume, by whom all the translations were made with the exception of the Propuesta &c (which I have been told is full of errors, and those material are of some of whether a correction by him will I believe be found) is a man who by profession and office had made language his study, and has had time to make himself well acquainted with the English. He is a most estimable man, was a distinguished member of the Spanish Cortes, and seconded to with zeal my unavailing and indeed little less than hopeless endeavour to prevail upon that assembly to give for the benefit of Spain herself independence to her distant dependencies. He is, without ceasing occupied in the translation of my Constitutional Code, as fast as any parcels of it come into his hands. Of so much as he has of his translation as is already translated made, over and above what is in print, a copy will I am have been assured, accompany these pages the other parts, which are in the original English.

By the next consequence, I hope to send (with the exception of a small part or have of comparatively little moment, and which may be as well some months hence as time) I hope to send what remains requisite for the the remainder of what regards compilation of the Judiciary Establishment. It is constitutes the matter of the first Chapter (Chapter of the whole work): and comprehends whatsoever applies to all the offices belonging to that department: bearing accordingly for its title the words "Judiciary collectively." Of the matter of that that single Chapter the quantity is about the same as that of all the Chapters which you ever see.
