[110]
My remaining task, I think, is to speak of
the proclamation and of the audit; for I hope that what I have already said has
been sufficient to satisfy you that my policy was the best, and that I have been
the people's friend, and zealous in your service. Yet I pass by the most
important of my public actions, first, because I conceive that my next duty is
to submit my explanations in respect of the actual charge of illegality,
secondly, because, though I say nothing further about the rest of my policy,
your own knowledge will serve my purpose equally well.
