fnancier and statesman and was made
Lord Athburton-made in support of

Alexander Barring was credited with
great wisdom. He was considered one

1885 are now denounced as fallacies by
his successors in the city of London.

Ing too closely and brings all the parts OF

moving shadow, which must be avoided.
Every little obstruction In the stream un.

weight the line. Three small split shot
