been the benefits of it, they have therefore already been in possession of those benefits, longer — much longer — than they
could naturally have expected. There seems no reason, why
they should reap a profit, from this fresh misfortune,(c)(c) See notes (I

other misfortunes. — The death of a Duncan Campbell Esq<hi rend="underline">r
