Carta

Inglaterra Carta de Robert Southey para Grosvenor Charles Bedford

"My dear G.

The tincture came safe, & so did the razors, – & I should have thanked you for both, if just at that time an influx of letters had not come in which put them out of mind – Verbeyst had the clearest instructions to direct the books of to Rothschilds, & to advise him when they were sent: – he could not misunderstand these orders, – yet it is possible that there may have been some neglect of this kind, because he lives at Brussels, & the packages would be shipt from Ostend. If they could find their way to the custom-house without any demand being made for freight, – there I should suppose they would be, – but the first thing a Flemish Skipper would look for would of course be to have his bill paid. The best course is what you have taken. Mrs V. will write to Brussels, & from thence Col: Houlton will write to the Commander at Ostend. – When you see the Acta (if that blessed day should ever come) you will not wonder how anxious I am to have them safe in my own possession, – for this book has been the great object of my ambition xx more than twenty years.
Canning has acted very improperly, & his conduct can only be explained by a supposition that he knew the author to be a man whose situation & character entitled him to that kind of notice. His proper course should have been to have prosecuted Ridgeway, – for the act of circulating the letter would, I think, have been considered a publication. The Times is become a more mischievous paper than the M Chronicle, – the MC. is merely a thorough-paced opposition paper, – but the Editor of the Times would go the whole length of Cobbett & Co. & is the more dangerous, but because he wants to keep the respectable xxxpart of his subscribers, whom an open avowal of his principles would disgust.
The 3 ½ plan I have not troubled myself to understand, as it concerns not me. But (between ourselves) you will be glad to hear that I am likely to recover part of my loss with the Ballantynes; who the printer has sent me a bill payable in November next for the repurchase of my share in the Register, at the price it cost me – £ 209.
All parties are to blame about the R Dukes. Ministers at first for asking too much: the H Commons afterwards for granting too little. I am afraid that some of the country Gentlemen voted with a view to the near Election not as it became them as Gentlemen, statesmen & Englishmen. Yet I think the D of Clarence has done wrong in breaking off the match; had it taken place & had he gone on quietly & prudently, upon the birth of a child, or any favourable opportunity, it would have been only to ask & have. For this poverty of the Government, & this petty fogging parsimony will neither of them last. The revenue must necessarily improve if peace continues, – & the Saving Banks in a very few years will add to the wealth of the state as well as of the country in a manner which perhaps few persons have contemplated. That class of persons who profit by this opportunity will rise a degree in society, they will acquire the wants & feelings of the class which is now next above them, & this will be felt in xxx indirect taxation. – I hardly expect that the Poor Law paper will do good in Parliament, – but it is possible that the Magistrates may act upon it, interpreting the existing laws in its favour sense, – & that the remedy is efficacious I have no doubt.
Longimanus’s eldest daughter is engaged to the nephew & partner of Strahan the printer, to whom therefore at Longimanus’s particular xxxx request, the Life of Wesley is consigned. It will be a convenience to send the MS thro your hands, – & if you like to see the chapters in a more readable state the clean sheets may be sent me when I want them thro the same channel. It will be an exceedingly curious book, – of more value in displaying the human mind, – than all the metaphysical disquisitions that have ever been written.
Remember me to Miss Page & the Mag: Rot:

God bless you

RS."
