‘Penrith, Brougham: 5 August, 1825.

‘My dear Rogers,—I sent you at length the large paper copy of my Discourse the day I left town, viz., Friday last, so pray give directions not to have it thrown among your rubbish, as it deserves.

‘Also tell me how many shares of the London University stock you will have. It pays six per cent.—for we only call for sixty-six pounds a share, and pay four per cent, on a nominal hundred. So, in the market, we should be overrun with jobbers, and defeated in the vote at every turn. We are therefore anxious to get as many good men and true as we can to hold the shares, and already we have eleven hundred shares so disposed of.

Proxies vote. The Monasters (Oxford and Cambridge) are howling, and the Bishop of Chester preaching already. This is enough.

Direct your commands to me here. Yours ever,

‘H. Brougham.’
