Engishman, since the days Of Bernard Gil

income was thirty pounds year, he lived on
twenty eight, and saved two for charity.
Next year he had sixty pounds, and still liv.
ed on twenty-eight, he had thirty.two 10
spend. A fourth year raised his income 10
hundred and twenty pounds, and s,eadfas,
to his plan, the poor got ninety-two. In the
