Excerpt from Letter to the Right Honourable George Canning: On His Proposed Motion in Favour of Catholic Emancipation Sir, You are too humane of heart, too loyal in principle, not to have mingled your tears with the sincerest that have been shed over the bleeding corse of Mr. Perceval. For this, all who know you will give you the fullest credit. Yet, however you may detest the execrable deed by which he was so prematurely cut off; however you may abhor the assassin, and all who rejoice in his crime, still it is not in human nature that the prospect which this melancholy event opened to your hopes, should have been altogether displeasing to you. In an instant of time it promised to bring within your grasp what it might require years even of such talents as you possess, and of character, such as those talents, and the manners that grace them, have established, to accomplish.
