~ To "LEX,'' who In the Montreal Gazette of LIST
February, 1860, pronounces the idea" OF Keeping
accounts current sin type" 'gross absurdity,"
thanks are hereby rendered and the assurance gwen
that this gross absurdity IS all that Mr.. Dick has
PATENTED in the domain Of keeping accounts. His
Claims hinder no operation therein into which this
ross absurtity is not practically struggled In any
manner: neither bodily nor partially; neither G-
rectIy or Indirectly; neither explicitly nor symbol
cally; this ground his claims cover, and nothing
more; the absolute monopoly of this absurdity and
nothing else is all he asks his claims, nationally
read, attest. -IEd soP1L
