Answer by Mr B. Bentham. No man living can be more acutely
sensible than I have even been to the importance of full
and correct accounts: for not many I flatter myself myself better
qualified for framing them Accounts of all sorts in the manner best adapted to
their respective ends.
The reason why, so long as the establishment was confined
to the private concern, the accounts kept were neither full compleat
nor regular as this. The money as fast as it could be got
in from the produce sale of the Estates or from intermediate borrowings, was, all of it, except what
was appli together with the rest of our property applied to the
subsistence of us both, expended by my Brother. He laid had too
much occupation, and was under too much anxiety to bestow
any of his time and attention to on matters that are not of
necessity: as every in the course of the experiments experiments almost every
success had been preceded by failures, he could not without
pain give ear to any inquiries of mine in relation to that subject.
My own life being on my part under the treatment I received, a life of continued constant anxiety
and continually repeated disappointment. I had no need
to add to my own anxiety any uneasinesses by encreasing
his. For My I confidence in my Brother being then as it
ever has been unlimited, the most perfect system of accounts, would in the character of a dent upon
him the most perfect system of Accounts would at all times
have been at all times without use.
