The Blackmore Vale, although a subscription pack, does not fix any sum, but sensibly expects people to subscribe according to the number of horses they keep, and the amount of hunting they do. An old and sound rule is L5 for each horse.

A philosophic theist might subscribe the popular creed of the Mahometans; [79] a creed too sublime, perhaps, for our present faculties.

Frankly, then, I suspect this is a bad business. I know little about newspapers, except that I have to subscribe to one in my county, which costs me a small income; but I know that a London daily paper might ruin a man in a few weeks.
