from the part I am obliged to act, it cannot but be that many strange thoughts should bubble up in my mind by night and by day, which the impossibility of otherwise retaining them obliges me to note down upon paper, like a confused chaos, in the fewest words possible, for future use. But to publish such things, however obtained, would be both ungrateful and inhuman.... Not that they are wicked and bad, but because many of them, when I am able coolly to reflect upon them, appear to myself foolish and to be rejected. Wherefore I again entreat that no one of my friends will publish any thing of mine without my concurrence. If he does, he must take the whole responsibility upon himself. Charity and justice require it.”
