But this is not all. This charge for difference
of carriage of raw materials and finished work being a standing one, the indemnification
for it comes in the shape of interest: but
there is another charge, which comes in immediately,
and for which the indemnification would call
for a large sum at once in the shape of capital.
I mean the charge of conveying the materials of
the building with all its appendages for the distance
which forms the difference between the near
spot and the proposed remote one. Four hundred
tons of iron now casting form but a small
part of the load. Timber, to an amount in point
of weight which unless ordered I will not attempt
to calculate, form another. Bricks and Mortar,
for ought I know, yet another. For the surrounding
wall alone (to say nothing of foundation-wall
and cut-houses) 2,000 feed of walling 12 foot high
et-ceteras — but I will not trouble you, Sir
with et-ceteras.
