- Abstract
-
"A Quaker (left), standing on his toes, faces four stout and elderly Commissioners seated at a small table, who register surprise and disapproval. Three of them say: "What an impertinent fellow to keep on his hat before such a dignified Assembly!"; "None of your theese and thous here Sir--come to the point--we know you have evaded certain duties," and, "Pray Sir do you know what we sit here for?" The Quaker, his hands folded, answers: "Verily I do--some sit here for £500 others for a £1000--and more over I have heard it reported that some sit here for two--thousand pounds per annum"."--British Museum online catalogue.
