ABSTRACT
On glancing at these forms our first impression was that the space allotted for the letter or message was insufficient. It is, however, practically found that the Company's charges, which amount, from, say London-
seriously admonish writers of all descriptions to be as brief as possible: indeed it is a very curious fact in natural philosophy that a lawyer under the Company's galvanic influence is suddenly gifted with a description of clairvoyance which enables him to write on any subject in a laconic style, which in his chambers he would consider, and would most conscientiously assure his client, to be utterly impracticable!
