Sir W.—“Come, come, let’s see, Man! What’s this! Odd! this Law is a plaguy troublesome thing; for, now a days, it won’t let a Man give away his own, without repeating the Particulars 500 times over: When in former times, a Man might have held his Title to Twenty Thousand pound a year, in compass of an Horn book.”

— Colley Cibber
