The amount of the sums, reservable as above
in the compass of a year in the score of capital, bid defiance to calculation
Even the sources given as receivable or received
in the shape of income, are not given as the
sums likely to be employed in the way in
question, but only as the source capable of being
so employ'd. The period amount of this
unknown sum resulting from the addition
of a sum thus calculated to another sum
greater or less, but unknown and uncalculated,
is given but as a maximum: and is given
not for the sake of the sum total, but for the
sake of the particular items the details of which
may seem to afford some relief to the conception of him
whoso reads. The Minimum is the amount of
a single Annuity Note: any sum between
this minimum and that maximum may continually prove to be
the sum thus actually laid out.

This mode of inaction will not be obstructed by that which regards [private security] loans to individuals: since this paper will chief favor for the subject matter of such loans as Bank or Bankers paper does — A man will take out or receive a quantity of Annuity Note paper and lend the money in that shape to the man who wants to borrow it.
Fortunately extreme as the darkness is,
no greater light is necessary: scan the result
of the experiment, be it litt ever so the little trifling
or ever so great will at any rate be a innocent:
and correspondent to every such Annuity note is disposed
of will be a portion of clear gain. It
is only where a portion of inconvenience is an inevitable
result, as in the case of and other imports
that the amount of the probable profit calls
for the labour of this calculation.
