paper says, Besides the Old Bailey which is
now being paved according to this patent,
contracts have been entered into for paving

DESCRIPTION OF LOVE- Love is like the
devil, ecause it torments; like heaven, be.
cause it wraps the soul in bliss; like salt be.
cause 1t is relishing; like pepper because il
often sets on fire, like sugar because il is
sweet; like rope, because it is the death of
man; like prison, because it makes a man
miserable; like wine, because it makes us
happy; like man, because he is here today
and gone tomorrow; like woman, there is
no getting rid of her; like ship, because it
guides one to the wished for port; like
fierce courser, because it often luns away
with one; like the bite of a mad dog. cr,like
the kiss of pretty woman, because they
both make man run mad; like a goose, be.
cause it is silly; like rabbit, because there
there is nothing like it. In word it is
ghost, because it is like every thing, and like
nothing, often talked about but never seen
touched or understood.
