or six times of were any use in it out of letters.
In regard to ing: where a greater degree
of pecuniary fruit is repaid - it is commonly
supposed.- and not altogether without reason
that - in a certain proposition - a greater
rate of pay ought in will may require to be allowed
But, for the removing and transmittingforwarding a Penny
Post letter together with the penny paid for it
the recompence is allowed - and a recompence
which tradesman of very considerable pecuniary
responsibility are very glad to receive - is no
more than one part of that same
Penny. This then being established a sufficient recompence
for that service - and the sufficiency
of it or compleatly established by such a body
of experience, a reward of ten times that amount
or even if it were no more than of five times that amount
can scarcely be regarded as insufficient for
a service so little superior to it in regard
of to the quantity of time required, as that
of vending in a proposed Annuity Note: delivering the
Note form the Principal Office to the customer,
and the purchasemoney from the Customers to that Office
If examples were to be sought for of fifty or a
hundred times or several hundred times that quantity of reward for that
quantity of service, they would not be very difficult
to be found: But it is the goodfrugal and not theunfrugal
bad precedents we are I am on the look out for, in the
hope of rendering them fruitful and productive.
