(Any Son of
Adam you please to name) is, so far as I have any voice in the
matter, appointed by me, to the exclusion of all and sundry
others on what pretext soever, to print and vend the same to my
American Friends. And so it stands; and the Sheets (probably
near thirty in number) will be out with the March Packet:--
and if nothing can come of it, I for one shall be very glad!
The Book is to be in Three Volumes now; the first ends at
p. 403, Vol. I.; the third begins at p. 155, Vol. II., of
the present edition.
What are you doing? Write to me: how the Lectures went, how all
things went and go! We are over head and ears in Anti-Corn-Law
here; the Aristocracy struck almost with a kind of horror at
sight of that terrible Millocracy, rising like a huge hideous
Frankenstein up in Lancashire,--seemingly with boundless ready-
money in its pocket, and a very fierce humor in its stomach! To
me it is as yet almost uglier than the Aristocracy; and I will
not fire guns when this small victory is gained; I will
recommend a day of Fasting rather, that such a victory required
such gaining.
