of the fitting out and sailing of our cruizers . But the first
mischief amounts to nothing unless two conditions
concurr: 1. that the enemy, if he could not get
his goods insured here could not get them
insured any where else: 2. that if he could
not employ his capital in the branch of trade conduct
in question he could not employ it in any
other that would produce equal profit be equally advantageous to him .

to nothing unless the underwriter be so circumstanced
as to have it in his power to furnish
intelligence which but for him the enemy would
not have be provided with : nor then unless the facility
