The Solicitor to his Bank is to me the name of a species not
of an individual. Of the individual I know absolutely nothing: I know
nothing of his character. I know nothing of not so much as his name. I have
no need of knowing it not the least need of any such knowledge. What I know is his situation and
the sources from whence the profile of that situation are due
. Knowing this I know see and with a degree an assurance altogether
for every practical purpose that in his eyes no increase in
the number of such purposes are really full of being a source
of self-complacency, no duress of being a source of regret.
A Solicitor of the Bank
