and knowing who themselves are, are in that sense
masters of that article of wisdom which has been stands

not wanting deficient in any such other desirable article gift as that
of a just confidence in themselves. But since it is to the this
knowledge which they are so happy as have the happiness to possess, that
they are indebted owe for the confidence they are so happy
as to entertain, and that this knowledge is the
object of a monopoly, shared perhaps by their in which in the supposition
Secretary and of their existence their Secretary
certainly, and their Chief Inspector probably have possess each
his share, but in which I whose misfortune
it is in one of the senses of the word Accountant
to be their Accountant, do not possess any the
smallest share, they will not I hope flatter myself impart it
to any personal disrespect, when I confess, that the
being thus destitute of its necessary basis, the confidence
which it would be agreeable to entertain, if were
it in my power has no existence.
