"Two hundred a-year!" she said, interrupting me ere I could finish my statement, placing a horribly sneering emphasis on each word, which made the sum mentioned appear so paltry and insignificant, that it struck me with shame. "I beg your pardon two hundred and fifty! Why, how young you are, Mr Lorton. Do you really think you could support a wife and establishment on that income?
As far as I can understand, your father left about eight hundred a-year between the two that's you and your sisther; and then there's the house and furniture. Nothing on earth can keep her out of her property, or prevent her from marrying whom she plases. Martin Kelly, who is an honest fellow, though sharp enough, has set his eye on her, and before many weeks you'll find he'll make her his wife.
The great argument of the Destructives was this: We are the devoted friends of art we love it we glory in it we cherish it: yea, we even give a guinea a-year a-piece for the encouragement of a society established for its protection and promotion; this society pledging themselves that we shall have in return what think ye? the immortal honour of raising a school of painting in our native country? the conscientious sense of a high-souled patriotism? the prospect of future estimation at the hands of a posterity who are to benefit by our labours?
"Yes, ma; with Captain Johnson." "Oh," said the mother, with a toss of her head; and giving her daughter a significant push, she walked away with her to another end of the room, to talk about Sir Ralph Rumford, and his seven thousand pounds a-year. "Well!" thought I, "odd people these; let us enter a little farther into this savage country."
They are at the pains only to look after the young of their herds, which are marked once a-year with the initial letter of the owner. Fourteen or fifteen thousand are marked by the greater proprietors every year, of which five or six thousand are annually sold."
"I did not say I wouldn't, but I must say that I am very busy just now. I had thought of doing a little reading, for I have an appointment with my solicitor in the afternoon." "That man charges you £200 a-year for collecting the rents; now, if you were to do it yourself, you would save the money, and it would give you something to do." "Something to do!
The available, unpledged revenue of the kingdom hardly amounted to five millions of dollars a-year. The regular annual income of the church was at least six millions. The whole personal property of the nation was estimated in a very clumsy and unsatisfactory way, no doubt at sixty millions of dollars.

Clerke, the solicitor, to a little ordinary in Hercules-pillars Ally the Crowne, a poor, sorry place, where a fellow, in twelve years, hath gained an estate of, as he says, L600 a-year, which is very strange, and there dined, and had a good dinner, and very good discourse between them, old men belonging to the law, and here I first heard that my cozen Pepys, of Salisbury Court, was Marshal to my Lord Cooke when he was Lord Chief justice; which beginning of his I did not know to be so low: but so it was, it seems.
Elizabeth, determined to retaliate on the Spaniards, fitted out a fleet in the following spring of 146 sail, which destroyed Corunna and Vigo, as well as the Castle of Cascacs at the mouth of the Tagus, and captured sixty large ships. In 1590 the queen allotted 8790 pounds a-year for the repairs of the Royal Navy; a sum which would go but a short way at the present day in building a single ship.
