TO THE EDITOE <strong>OF</strong> THE STATESMAN. 49<br />
As I am not in the number of those<br />
determined censors to whom Newgate is an<br />
elysium, and whom the very idea of being<br />
prosecuted<br />
by the Attorney-General exhilarates<br />
more effectually than all the treasures<br />
of the Castalian fountain ; yet as I love<br />
to speculate on the virtues and the vices of<br />
the world, it has been the object of my<br />
anxious study to discover some honest and<br />
easy means<br />
of speaking the whole truth<br />
without incurring the vengeance of government.<br />
The ultimate intention of my aim is<br />
to induce a meeting of such enlightened, unprejudiced<br />
members of the community, whose<br />
independent principles expose them to evils<br />
which might thus become aUeviated, and to<br />
form a methodical society which should be<br />
organised so as to resist the coalition of the<br />
enemies of liberty, which, at present, renders<br />
any expression of opinion on matters of policy<br />
dangerous to individuals.
