Excerpt from The Substance of a Conversation With John Bellingham, the Assassin of the Late Right Hon. Spencer Perceval: On Sunday, May 17, 1812, the Day Previous to His Execution The Conversation contained in the following pages is submitted to the Public at the request of several Friends of the Author, who conceived that, in addition to the interest with which any circumstances calculated to throw light on so dreadful a character might be received, some real benefit might, by the blessing of God, result from the publication. With the design of promoting still further such beneficial effect, he has ventured to offer some observations on what appears to him to have been the progress of sin in the criminals mind, as well as to suggest some remarks of a practical nature, on the whole of the extraordinary and melancholy case. The interview took place at the suggestion of a distinguished Member of Parliament, a friend of the late deeply lamented Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, having condescended to visit the Prisoner on the morning of that day, on a purely benevolent purpose, inquired of him whether a conference with the Author (who was at the time entirely ignorant of the communication) would be agreeable to him.
