The approach to the Temple of Literary Fame is almost always through double gates couplets. And yet I have known youthful poets, apparently bound for Paternoster Row, bolt off the course in a year or two, to the delight of their friends, and become, of their own free will, drysalters.
The various trading guilds of the city of London such as the drapers, vintners, cordwainers, drysalters obtained in the gross 209,800 acres, including the city of Derry, which they rebuilt and fortified, adding London to its ancient name. The grants to individuals were divided into three classes 2,000, 1,500, and 1,000 acres each.

"Very true, and the captain must be anxious. Where are you from?" "Smyrna." "What's your cargo?" "Why, we have raw silk and drysalters' goods chiefly. D'ye think we shall have a fair wind?
'You are not going to try any detective work; to find out if she is a woman with a past, with a husband living? You are not going to put a live adder among the eels? I daresay drysalters eat eels.
