At page 514. of the same volume, I read,--

"Wentworth had so balanced the protestant and recusant parties,

employed so skilfully the resources of fair promises and

intimidation, that he procured six subsidies to be granted

before a prorogation, without any _mutual_ concession from the

crown."

Will Dr. Kennedy, or any other strict verbal critic, sanction this use

of the word "mutual?"
