~ To 'LEX," who in the Montreal GdEstts Of LIST
February, 1860 pronounces the ''idea" Of keeping
accounts current sin type" 'gross absurdity,"
thanks are hereby rendered and the assurance given
that this gross a6surdity is all that Mr. Dick has
patented in the domain OF keeping accounts. His
claims hinder operation therein into which this
gross absurdity Is not practically smuggled in any
manner: neither bodily Nor partially; neither d.
recty or indirectly: neither explicitly nor symbolic
caily; this ground his claims cover. and nothing
more; the absolute monopoly of this absurdity and
nothing else, IA all he asks his claims, nationally
