Unfortunately, we can, at present, do nothing more than lay before our readers its glowing peroration--so worthy of this great orator, this unwearied friend of liberty and humanity." To Macvey Napier, Esq.
Paris: September 16, 1830.
My dear Sir,--I have just received your letter, and I cannot deny that I am much vexed at what has happened.

It is not very agreeable to find that I have thrown away the labour, the not unsuccessful labour as I thought, of a month; particularly as I have not many months of perfect leisure.

This would not have happened if Brougham had notified his intentions to you earlier, as he ought in courtesy to you, and to everybody connected with the Review, to have done.

He must have known that this French question was one on which many people would be desirous to write.
I ought to tell you that I had scarcely reached Paris when I received a letter containing a very urgent application from a very respectable quarter.

I was desired to write a sketch, in one volume, of the late Revolution here.
