One of these con sists in the fact that being neither by birth nor adoption one of the "annoin ted."and without having obtained the permission; of the highly respecta ble "bloods," who consider themselves, and by their "chattels" are consider ed, ."the chivalry of our people," I have dared to aspire to stations wnicn i . . . i i.
