Peel's Acts
Act 3/7
(3
Alas! alas! we were within an ace of being
deceived by him our Right Honorable Reformist and his learned advisers. For the
comfort by all these relations put together how is
is that no addition is made. No: True but what is better
be the is a more substantial shape — the persuading
shape, benefit to the extent of what it would not be
very easy to set a limit is conferred on them. So many
relictions so many eventual sources of doubt.so many

Such is the benefit lying at the bottom of this wisdom
But on the surface lies the burthen we have been seeing
