came home, it is time I should go to sleep. I wonder myself
at giving you all these details, it is a long while I have been
out of the habit of giving them to any body, at Turin & at

I am just come from the Assemblée Nationale where the making
small Notes & bad Copper to change them against was debated
with much Vehemence. They very few who had tolerable clear
Ideas on that part of political Oeconomy were scarcely
heard and perfectly overawed by party Spirit
