The Of these the first that occurrs is that which occurrs
in No 81 England" article 11. The Office here in question
is that of Mr Garner the Apothecary General to the army
stated here simply Apothecary General, as if the
like the Attorney General he were so to the whole United
Kingdom or at least one of its three component Kingdoms.
True it is that in and by Column the 2d the error warning is given
of the error, and that to one who one eye should undertake to read
the contents of the document in their natural order, before
it is committed.

But in an account containing a column of
sums nothing is more frequent than many are the occasions in which many the
purposes for which the eye glances overup and down that column
without adverting to any other: and so often sure as this
is the case so often will the amount of the emolument in question
appears three times as great as it was really.

While the other objects before and after it are exhibited
at least for anything that upon the face of them appears to the contrary in their real dimensions why is there one
thus singled out to be thus magnified? this is a question
this to which one can not but wish to be able to find
an answer.

Was it the greatest mass of emolument which the whole
sinecure list presented as finding its way into a single
hand? Not it indeed, and if it were, the greater it
were in itself, the less it stood in and of being
exaggerated, and exaggerated by so extraordinary a course.
