Clarke, represented L147 6s. 6d., not including the L40 of which we were plundered by the bandit Ma'azah. The ascent of the Sharr also cost L40, making a grand total of L187 6s. 6d. The march to the Hisma gave us a fair idea of the three main formations of Madyan, which lie parallel and east of one another: 1.
All the morning at the office, we sat at the office extraordinary upon the business of our stores, but, Lord! what a pitiful account the Surveyor makes of it grieves my heart. This morning before I came out I made a bargain with Captain Taylor for a ship for the Commissioners for Tangier, wherein I hope to get L40 or L50.
As a result of Villemessant's announcement, the street was blocked during the next forty-eight hours by men of all classes, who were all the more eager to earn the aforesaid L40 a week as nearly every kind of work was at a standstill, and the daily stipend of a National Guard amounted only to 1s. 2-1/2d.
This night Prior of Brampton came and paid me L40, and I find this poor painful man is the only thriving and purchasing man in the town almost. We were told to-day of a Dutch ship of 3 or 400 tons, where all the men were dead of the plague, and the ship cast ashore at Gottenburgh.
So that now I have but 35s. more of his. Then came Mr. Hills the instrument maker, and I consulted with him about the altering my lute and my viall. After that I went into my study and did up my accounts, and found that I am about; L40 beforehand in the world, and that is all. So to my office and from thence brought Mr. Hawly home with me to dinner, and after dinner wrote a letter to Mr.
And my first book do you remember was dedicated to you. Mrs. Dale. Silver Trumpets Have you a copy still, by any chance? The first edition, I mean? Mine was stolen years ago. Do you think you could put your hand on it? Mrs. It's here. May I have it? Ah, thanks. This is very interesting. The last copy sold in London for L40, and they tell me the next will fetch twice as much.
"The beggar ran out into the night, and returned with a man laden with sacks, and they began to count out L40,000 upon a side-table, where a haunch of venison still smoked. "When they had counted out the money, the beggar said: "'There is your L40,000; sign this receipt. "The amazed factor drew back, when the three friends said: "'You must sign; you are a gentleman of your word, of course.
The interest and charges of the national debt, including the sinking fund, are now little short of L40 millions a year; and these L40 millions, if we completely succeed in the reduction of the price of corn and labour, are to be paid in future from a revenue of about half the nominal value of the national income in 1813.
Sir Thomas Crew this day tells me that the Queen, hearing that there was L40,000 per annum brought into her account among the other expences of the Crown to the Committee of Parliament, she took order to let them know that she hath yet for the payment of her whole family received but L4,000, which is a notable act of spirit, and I believe is true.
Bruncker is not the only pimp, but that the whole family is of the same strain, and will do anything to please him: that, besides the death of the two Princes lately, the family is in horrible disorder by being in debt by spending above L60,000 per. annum, when he hath not L40,000: that the Duchesse is not only the proudest woman in the world, but the most expensefull; and that the Duke of York's marriage with her hath undone the kingdom, by making the Chancellor so great above reach, who otherwise would have been but an ordinary man, to have been dealt with by other people; and he would have been careful of managing things well, for fear of being called to account; whereas, now he is secure, and hath let things run to rack, as they now appear.
