Rosenwald said some of the rhetoric of conservative talk personalties is driven by a chicken-and-egg issue.

It is interpreted so as to give, in many cases, more to the eldest son than the real estate and his share of the personalty.

She can with such money acquire personalty or realty, over the former of which she has absolute control.

(b.) if personalty yields the same income, or is of the capital value of four thousand pounds or upwards, free of all charges.

No inconsiderable part of this personalty was invested in shipping and manufacturing.

The assessment of the realty was made in 1853; that of the personalty is made in March of each year.
