be asked) not make advantage you did not take the benefit of these inventions in the
way originally intended? ][ I Answer — while the fate of
my negotiation as above [with government] remained undecided,
long before I had any reason given me for supposing that
the engagement entered into with me by government would
not be fulfilled, my Brother, for present subsistence having
lost by his attendance on this business the honourable and
beneficial p situation he held in under the Russian government was glad to engage
in the service of Government here, in the new devised
situation of Inspector-General of his Majesty's
Naval works: after at from which time period Ao 1796 till
any time a few weeks ago/months of his time was devoted to the labours business of that
novel and most laborious office.
