When it receives the number at first put
in to it it is not too great for that number, for
it was for that number that it was calculated. When If
more are added it is not too little, for by that time
it is ready for them. It is designed Designed for
experiment and constructed instituted without the benefit
of experience, it can not be blamed for having its
dimensions magnitude set down upon the safe d side: when
the worst it can thus be charged with, is an abatement
of so much possible a certain portion of saving, which might not
perhaps have been so much clear advantage. For
though it would might be better to put four for
example into a cell than have one to the common condemned
misery and danger of a hulk or a common prison, yet
were it not for that alternative from four might
not in every respect be quite so convenient eligible a complement as were as three.
In this case it may be difficult at any time
and must be impossible beforehand to draw the
line with perfect precision: the only it is best course
is therefore to be on the safe side.
