Explaining that he has not written sooner because he has been consumed with the composition of "a book I am making haste to finish" [A System of Logic]; saying "As for me I should by this time have been as dry as a botanical specimen[,] every drop of moisture in my composition having been absorbed by the driest logic & metaphysics" if it had not been for the elections to remind him that "one is walking about among individual human beings & not among Universal Affirmative or Negative Propositions"; discussing Whigs and Tories, saying, "for my part I believe Opposition is the natural position for liberalism, & that, except for short periods, it never thrives well anywhere else"; with mention of the Carlyles.
