Note 136 — POSTSCRIPT.
Reading edition
This article was omitted in the former editions of this Postscript; and its insertion here makes the diminution of the public debts, since 1763, half a million less than the sum at which it is taken in p. 104 and 108.—It might have been proper also to add, the excess of Navy debts contracted above the Navy debts discharged, from 1763 to 1775; and had this been done, the surplus in p. 165, would have been reduced to 150,000l.
