REV. Robert, Dick, P P7, I2ie n +, OF OF
to his Agent and Attorney,
John j. HaInes, London, ENGLAND.
wTo LEN" who in the Roa:real Gazette Of LIST
Fai,Tusrv 400, pronounces the idea" Of keeping
sscannts current .'tn type a gross absurdity,'
:hars are hereby rendered, and the assurance given,
that this gross alsuriity is all that Mr.. Dick has
patented in the domain Of keeping accounts. His
clnins hinder no operation therein into Which this
gross absurdity is not practically smuggled III any
manner: neither bodily nor partially; neither d.
rectly or indirectly: neither explicitly nor symbolic
cAlly; this ground his claims cover, and nothing
more; the absolute monopoly Of tii- s5surdity and
nothing else is all he asks his ciams nationally
