To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It was also laid down that upon the decease of a Knight Companion of the Order the Senior Extra Knight for the time being should, ipso facto, succeed to the vacant stall. This unhistorical and almost unconstitutional action was tempered by the display of a certain amount of liberality, for the Royal Warrant provided that the fees due from each Extra Knight who should subsequently be nominated should be defrayed out of the Treasury. The result of this serious change speedily became apparent. T...welve Extra Knights were promptly created in this year, 1812, while in 181 5 there followed another batch of two-and-twenty. Thus, by that time although thirty-seven was still the recognised, constitutional number of the Knights Companions, the Order of the Bath had expanded so as to contain no less than fifty- nine ! It must be admitted, however, that in one respect at any rate the Order of the Bath had changed long since very greatly for the better, as compared with the state of things which prevailed at the time of the Revival of 1725.
