§. 6. Statistic function

or 14 contind.
In this case, the loss consists
in the loss of the
interest of the money,
expended in making
the several instalments.

In former days, in the
English Navy Subdepartment,
a practice had place of
expending money in this
way in a work which at
the intended rate of progress
could not have been compleated,
or so much as
been expected to be compleated
earlier than at
the end of perhaps half
a century. But if without
the work in question
the service could be sufficiently
provided for during
any such term, so
might it thereafter for
evermore. Some hundred
thousands of pounds was
the loss which, according
to a calculation made
at the time would, at the
end of the term, have been
the amount of the loss:
not to speak of the case
in which, by that time,
the work might, by any
one of a number of contingencies,
be rendered
useless, the demand being
superseded, or being better
provided for by other
means. Representation
to this effect was made,
and the calculation exhibited
by a functionary
to whose office it belonged:
to this representation no
regard was paid at the
time: whether since,
can not be stated.
