Excerpt from Private Letters of Edward Gibbon (1753-1794), Vol. 2 Though your kind impatience might make the time appear tedious, there has been no other delay in my business, than the necessary forms of Election.

So much for Parliament. With regard to the board of trade, I am ignorant of your friend's meaning, and possibly she may be so herself.
