 neither lawyers nor laymen of moderate intelli

 iht draft&quot; even although &quot;the words in quotation 

 marks arc taken from it verbatim&quot;

 needy, destitute, degraded, or criminal, in some 

 manner indicated, implied, or suggested in the book 

 called In Darkest Engla.nd! &quot; Whence I appre 

 hend that, if the whole funds collected are applied 

 to &quot; mothering society &quot; by the help of speculative
