Duplicate "the passage is this:
i seldom lose my temper, much more seldom indulge in dangerous indignation at wrongs and outrages, but i must be permitted to be rash here and declare that i consider the sudden and violent abrogation of the office of master in chancery, by the new constitution, as a premature act, inasmuch as i had counted upon a life lease of the profits, whereas i only received those of a few short years. but this is by the way.
my chambers were upstairs at wall street. at one end they looked upon the white wall of the interior of a spacious skylight shaft, penetrating the building from top to bottom. this view might have been considered rather tame than otherwise, deficient in what landscape painters call ""life."" but, if so, the view from the other end of my chambers offered at least a contrast, if nothing more. in that direction, my windows commanded an unobstructed view of a lofty brick wall, black by age and everlasting shade, which wall required no spyglass to bring out its lurking beauties, but, for the benefit of all nearsighted spectators, was pushed up to within ten feet of my windowpanes. owing to the great height of the surrounding buildings, and my chambers’ being on the second floor, the interval between this wall and mine not a little resembled a huge square cistern.

c) at one end they looked upon the white wall of the interior of a spacious skylight shaft, penetrating the building from top to bottom.
d) owing to the great height of the surrounding buildings, and my chambers’ being on the second floor, the interval between this wall and mine not a little resembled a huge square cistern.
