Advertisement - Observations

In framing this Advertisement, I kept two principal
objects before me.

1. The concealing for the reasons you mentioned
the source from which it comes.

2. The receiving information from as many
different quarters as possible. On the latter
account I studiously avoided all unnecessary
specifications, which could have had no other
effect than to exclude correspondents. The offer
of secresy has respect to the situation of Foremen
and other subordinate managers whom ambition
or disagreement with their principals might
incline to listen to such an invitation, at the
same time that the fear of incurring his resentment
& being turned off would deter from
venturing without such an assurance. A man
already engag'd in business may likewise be
unwilling to be known for fear of its hurting
his Credit by giving occasion to people to look
upon him as fickle, or his circumstances as being
on the decline. Did it appear that the scene
was to be out of this Island all the Manufacturing
would be up in Arms with Government here at
the head of them. The alarm might be lessened
in some degree were it to appear that Ireland
was the scene; but even that circumstance
might repel a number of Candidates whose
information might be of use. —
