Panopticon Narrative

Sir

Among the In the altogether parall of printed Papers Report or communication Paper purporting by its
title o contain the "Further Proceedings of the Lords
"Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury &c⊞ ⊞ "respecting the matters stated in the Reports of the Committee of Finance &c" in addition

name of any individ person annexed to it annexed
to it in the form of an authenticating signature.
