"afterwards if the subject & the success, please you - I
"hinted at the danger of you being forestalled,- by which I do
"not only mean, that other people, by the progress of reason, may
"make the same discoveries,- you know there are stray copies
"of your Introduction abroad, particularly that you gave to
"Lord Ashburton - others which are now in safe hands, may, by
"death, get into those which are not safe. I have often been
"tempted to think that Taley had either seen your Introduction,
"or conversed with somebody that was intimate with you -
"There are many things in his book so like you, & so out of
"the common road, that they cannot be the production of the
"same person who wrote other things in the same book
which are really puerile.
Will not you send to more than I have, and
"also the titles of the remaining Chapters? - if so, publish
"to the end of the last complete Chapter already printed, &
"add those titles, if you have a copy of them - this will avoid
"the unpleasant task of requiring to write on a subject
"which is not at present interesting to you, & which, if you
"were to begin it, might lead you further than I wish at
"present. I have really this matter very much at heart &
"shall be much mortified if you don't consent."
