 donation, as by us given. ('') 



And it is said, — By many Kings, Sagara as well as others, the earth has 

 been possessed. Whose-soever has been the land, his has then been the 

 fruit.(«' 



The gifts, which have been here granted by former princes, producing 

 virtue, wealth and fame, are uiisullied inflections. What honest man would 

 resume them ? 



This donation ought to be approved by those who exemplify the here- 

 ditary liberality of our race, and by others. The flash of lightning from 

 Lacsimn s\vo]n with the rain-drop, ("■' is gift; and the fruit is preservation of

 time to time.(-^"^
