About 11 at night I carried my aunt home by coach, and then home myself, having set my wife down at home by the way. My aunt tells me they are counted very rich people, worth at least 10 or L12,000, and their country house all the yeare long and all things liveable, which mightily surprises me to think for how poore a man I took him when I did him the courtesy at our office.
This animal crosses the most rapid streams not over three and one half feet deep, lined with slippery boulders, with ease. For modern cavalry and horse-artillery purposes they are unsurpassed. The average price is L6, but an ambler will bring L12. Great Britain is said to possess 2,800,000 horses, while Russia, in the Kirghiz steppes alone, possesses 4,000,000 saddle or quick-draught horses.
This point is so much misunderstood that I will give one more illustration. I am purchasing an estate, intending to farm it myself. There are 400 acres of land, and I reckon the land worth 30s. an acre. I am willing to give twenty-five years' purchase. I find the tithe is L100 a year. I therefore propose to give twenty-five times L500 = L12,500 for the land.
The money for the expenses was subscribed as follows: L6,000 voted by Government, L1,000 subscribed by Mr. Ambrose Kyte, and the balance of the L12,000 made up by public subscription.
He says the King and Court are all troubled, and the gates of the Court were shut up upon the first coming of the Dutch to us, but they do mind the business no more than ever: that the bankers, he fears, are broke as to ready-money, though Viner had L100,000 by him when our trouble begun: that he and the Duke of Albemarle have received into their own hands, of Viner, the former L10,000, and the latter L12,000, in tallies or assignments, to secure what was in his hands of theirs; and many other great men of our. masters have done the like; which is no good sign, when they begin to fear the main.
This noon come my wife's watchmaker, and received L12 of me for her watch; but Captain Rolt coming to speak with me about a little business, he did judge of the work to be very good work, and so I am well contented, and he hath made very good, that I knew, to Sir W. Pen and Lady Batten. Up and with my wife to church, where Mr.

"My dear Father, I think I told you that I travelled out here with a lady named Miss Ogilvy, whom I have often seen since. She has just died and left me, as I understand, about L12,000, which I am to get when I am twenty-five. Meanwhile I am to have the income, so I am glad to say I shall not cost you any more.
I had now, therefore, the control of L12,000, and we might consider ourselves very respectable capitalists. At the end of that time, I sold it and the stock to great advantage. And the sheep for the "brand" of which I had a high reputation having wonderfully prospered in the mean while, I thought we might safely extend our speculations into new ventures.
