Neither the stage of Law the laws

In this age and
nation the life
of an obnoxious
individual can
not be attempted
with life of opportunity
than by
the slow poison
of mental agony
— obnoxious in
Italy

In this age and nation neither the state of the laws manners
nor the state of the laws manners admitt of

profession

Had the scene laid in Italy, the prosecution of
this design desirable end would have cost Right some Right
Honourable or Honourable Gentleman a good dinner
or at least a cup of chocolate, besides the characteristic
ingredient in it: but then, if the business
was not badly managed bungled misconducted to a degree
without example — trusted confided for example to a
Signor Albo or Albam of the profession — of the supposing a
profession in which requiring so so much skill is required to admitt
of a match in point of clumsiness to Mr White
it would have succeeded. As it is the attempt plan has
not cost so much as even a cup of chocolate to any
Right Honourable or Honourable Gentlemen of the sort:
but then on the other hand it has failed, it has
failed as to every purpose of their own security:
though unfortunately as to the destruction of eight years
of the most valuable part of the life of the destined virtue,
its success has been but too mournful and compleat unquestionable
irreparable. — Yes, my Lord, they have murdered
my best days!
