§.6 (8)
At the making of this Speech, I myself as may
naturally be imagined, was present in the Gallery. By Mr Dundas,
who as lately, in the manufactory in question had been viewing
machines, in great multitude and variety, at work in three
different houses - all indeed admitting in some sort of this description,
but no one to the exclusion of any other - the effect neither
was nor could have been in this way referred to a single machine.
On the part of a reporter, a mistake of this sort is not much to be
