By whomsoever the plan may be treated as
visionary (and before adoption every plan is tre in proportion as
it is good is treated as visionary by the righ hand of
statesmen) by whomsoever, I say, the plan is treated
as visionary, it can no longer be treated upon that
at least by Administration, at least by
Mr Dundas. Generosity or imprudence (forgive me
Sir, but how should I know which?) Generosity
I say an imprudence as precluded you from that
plan. It is then not a visionary plan: it
is you have said it yourself a most provisionary
one: it is a beneficial one, as much as the most
beneficial can be so before tra, it is a
beneficient one. Then why, Sir, have you suffered
the very existence the <add>very possibility of ever adopting it its adoption to of it to stand upon
a point? Why, unless from instances such as
the above have you delayed ? shoved it off for these two
years and still in shoving it off? Why
is it for these two months the of it
has found you Why is it that a
man who never troubled you but am, and the
by order not of his own, seeking but by order
Why is he
for no other cause
than being the author
of that plan to
as stand at your office door for two months together to and find you underlined text ?
Go take your arguments — and when
you have taken them, and spent your fortune on
taking them Spend your life in passages and amongst
Officers waiting rooms in for answers which you
still never have.
