Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exercises on the Grammalogues and Contractions of Pitman's Shorthand
The letters of administration enabled the administrator and administratrix to I acknowledge the documents, but the abstrac tion of the administrator after I the acknowledgment of the papers led to the abandonment of I the enterprise, and although they had all been properly acknowledged I according to law and were of advantage some time ag6, 'i yet by reason of the above circum stance they were not I able to apply themselves to the task and approve subsequent I documents and proceed to administrate. They were slow to acknowledge I the position in which they found themselves, but they ought I to have looked at the con sequences in the beginning, as I any good business man would do.
The administrative authority was I vested in the adminis trator and administratrix, and when they wished I to secure some agricultural land for the purpose of engaging I in the business of agriculture they inserted an advertisement in I the paper to the effect that they would amalgamate their I interests but in the course of a few weeks they I were altogether unprepared to carry out the amalgamation. This was I antagonistic to the other side and the matter was submitted I to arbitration, but as they were unable to arbitrate, the I appointment of a receiver followed. As he acted in an I arbitrary manner and would not listen to anything applicable toi the case, much antagonism followed on the part of thei arbitrator and the arbitrament was dropped.
The archbishop was deeply I interested in his work, and when the building of the I Church of the Atonement was contemplated, he engaged an architecti for the attainment of his Object and examined many architectural I designs and proceeded with the erection of the edifice and I although the architect was aristo cratic and the parishioners were of I the aristocracy, yet, to the astonishment of the members of I the Church, the expense was too great and it was I found necessary to make an assignment which certainly was not I auspicious.
