3. From Number of suits, quantum of profit from each operation and
instrument, given as before, also number of operations and instruments
together, the aggregate of profit will be as the larger of each operation
or instrument.

Third object – increasing the length of each such operation and of each
such instrument.

4. As often as any additional hand can be introduced into
the business, to whom any operation can be is given to perform which
without him would not have been performed, or instrument made which
without him would not have been made, an addition is made to
the aggregate of operations and instruments.

Fourth object – increasing the number of hands different hands having
different employments, employed in the business of procedure.

Thus far, to avoid complication and embarrassment, a supposition
has all along, though tacitly made, viz: that of the whole number
of suits, from each article, number and length of operations given, the
quantum of profit will be extractible, and to the same amount.
But as in every community there will always be a considerable proportion
number of individuals, who from whom, they enjoying through the whole course
of their lives little more or no more than a bare subsistence, would
not no profit at all could or none that would be worth earning
at the pain of the necessary labour, could by possibility be extracted,
hence, from the number of suits which it is the interest of the man
of law to see or mean to take place, must be excepted and
struck out the whole number and proportion of those non-profit-yielding,
those unprofitable suits.

The interest of his fortune This pecuniary interest calls upon him to screw up to a maximum
number of profit-yielding suits: the interest of his case calls upon him
to screw down to a minimum, the number of non-profit-yielding suits,
object – diminishing the number of non-profit-yielding suits.
