15 March 1810
Sinecures

In No 81 England are contained articles 263.
For the first 22 21 of those articles the order of the alphabet
is the order pursued. But after these 22 it occurrs to
the
at the 21st article which is thus worded .. viz. Comptroller of Army Accounts
the framer of this Index becomes tired of the order of the
alphabet. Accordingly the article which occupies the 22d
place is "Lord Chamberlain's Office". This it ought
be supposed would be an adherence
Nay (but says
somebody) this would be still in alphabetical order were

word Lord. No say I – for throw out the word Lord
you have the word Chamberlain, the place of which would
in alphabetical order be not the 22d but the 18th.

subtitle printed in capitals, and in the middle of the column

and the respect which it dignity commands is driven away
by the "Lord High Chancellor by whose Official title finds
it a place in article 23.
