ABSTRACT
In the city of Bristol lived once a merchant, whose name was Jones. He was an honest1[] man, and had been so attentive to business, that in the course of ten or twelve years he acquired a 2[large] fortune; sufficient to procure 3[more than the necessaries of life]. He had a flower-garden, and his house was 4[hung round] with various beautiful pictures; besides, he could afford, when he wished, to ride in a coach, to drink wine, and enjoy many / pleasures which men may live very contentedly without; therefore he was called a rich man.
