Sinecures
Oh Sir! – why cant thus? where is your candour
Sir? – as if between the two modes of phraseology that
happen perhaps by oversight to have been employed for applied to
the same thing, there was any real difference: – as if
the "total mount of fees and salaries spoken of has the Committee in their
73d num No were not the same thing with the account phrase
total annual gross amount of fees and salaries employed
by the same Committee in the No last preceding,
as if the one letter phrase were any not a mere abridgment abbreviation
or short hand expression for the substituted for shortnessto the other which hyper criticism,
Sir – to speak plainly, such cavilling can.
Fair and softly Reader, your patience though
it be for a minute, read there will be no need of your
indulgence, of any of that indulgence to which on the part claim of made by a
can certainly never be upon a par with that of the
object of his .
In the first place – what you will not, it is hoped
be disposed to deny is – that by a change in words a
preconception more or less strong, is always afforded of a some
change in sense, for in short when written only and
not spoken discourse is the channel of communication
what is it that sense of a paper is expressed by if not by words
by the any words of it?
