In browsing to the Minute of the next day — the Minute
grounded on this letter Your Lordship may observe
the improving effect efficiency/power of time. A time There was a time Time was
when "their Lordships felt it "incumbent to mention
"compensation to Mr Bentham" — but that was in
August (the 25th of August) 1800. There was a time when
the idea of liberality floated in his Graces mind, in
company with the idea of compensation: but this
