T "Quæ mea mens in suscipiendâ causâ fuit, fides in agendâ eadem vestra, in judicanda LONDON: CARPENTER AND SON, OLD BOND STREET. KONINKLIJKE THEEK BIBLIOTH Whiting, Engraver and Printer to His Majesty, for the Prevention of Forgery, Beaufort House, Strand. NOTICE. IF I have introduced into the text, contrary to the general practice, a number of documents, and extracts from documents, some of them of considerable length, I have done so on the principle I set out with in writing my Letter to Lord Bathurst, namely, never to make a single assertion without instantly following it up by documentary or other proof, so that the whole state of each individual case should be embraced by the eye at once. Had I thrown these documentary proofs into the Appendix, they would have lost half, and perhaps in many cases, all their effect; for people do not like to break off in the middle of a narrative, to seek, in ano ther part of the book, for illustrations or proofs. Park-street, Grosvenor-square, April 6, 1827. |
