Vocabulary
function of "but"
"But making every allowance, we must infer that within our own times, repeals have mounted some distance into the thousands."
This is a quote form Herbert Spencer's "Sins of Legislators" and as being one whose native language is not english, I couldn't figure out what's meant by the part "but making every allowance". I would really appreciate it if you could help me to understand.
