it happen to them to be lost to him who had considered

found to have with reference to this the present Account,
the loss will have nothing of loss in it but the name.

on with the Treasury, during a period of fifteen years on a subject which at the time
had occupied some part of the attention of Parliament,
and if I am rightly informed though [+] [+] though without
any step taken towards
my part that end on the point of being
submitted to its that attention once more.
