The offer of L5,000, in 1869, led to only one machine being submitted for trial, although several competitors had entered their names. This machine was that of Mr. In consideration, however, of the inventor having made a bona fide and meritorious attempt to solve the question, he was awarded a donation of L1,500.
"Say! was there a tall chap on a blood chestnut aboard?" asked a slushy voice. "Andshomish feller might be own brother to me. If so, pass him up the side, there's a good biy. There's L1,000 on his head." Kit went up the side, his heart beating high. "Anything?" asked the old Commander shortly. "Yes, sir." He surrendered his treasure-trove.
At the office we and Sir W. Rider to advise what sort of provisions to get ready for these ships going to the Indies. Then the Comptroller and I by water to Mr. Coventry, and there discoursed upon the same thing. So to my coz. Tho. Pepys, and got him to promise me L1,000 to lend my Lord upon his and my uncle Robert's and my security.
Rapid execution in bad weather, and inferior mortar, were the principal causes of this accident. By extraordinary effort the viaduct was built in less than six months, a display of energy and resource which the company acknowledged by an allowance of L1,000. On the Bilbao railway some of the works were destroyed by very heavy rains. The agent telegraphed to Mr.

He gave you L1 a week, a monstrous sum! I shall not require your services any further. I shall move these books to my own house. You will be good enough to send me a list of those you bought at the sale, and your account of travelling expenses, etc. What may be due to you shall be sent to your address. Good-evening."
After setting on foot a public subscription, which realized nearly L1,200,000, they began the gigantic work.
May I be allowed for once to speak of self? Mine, with a more or less teetotal home, comes on an average to L1; I give extra wages and no strong drink, and this system works admirably, except for the poor Doctors, whom I fear sometimes find their incomes sadly diminished by the Temperance movement! My father made great additions and improvements at Wimpole House.
The gross receipts amounted to some L4,000: he received about L1,200, which left him with a few hundreds above his expenses. His optimism regarded this as a triumph. One is fain to confess today that these lectures make very poor reading.
So to our inne, and there eat and paid reckoning, L1 8s. 6d.; servants, 3s.; poor, 1s.; lent the coach man, 10s. Before I took coach, I went to make a boy dive in the King's bath, 1s. I paid also for my coach and a horse to Bristol, L1 1s. 6d.
