Mechanism. As this could be have been by far the greatest part,
I can flatter myself that it will not appear unreasonable
if — taking into account the extra pay of the experienced and dextrous hands
whose work place would by means of the machinery be done
by without the need of
supplied with advantage by the
labour of these comparatively raw hands, — the extra dispatch
which would have been as infallible an accomplishment
of other that advantage, — (work labour for instance
which elsewhere could not have been done for less than
3s, 4s, 5s, 5 or 6s a day executed here and probably not improbably
with many some number of times — though antecedently to experience
it is impossible to say how many what number of times) — the dispatch,
for by workmen to whom in whose case there seems
no reason why they the alternative mode to them
should so
the rate at which their labour would have
been valued viz paid by for the purpose of their per centage to be paid to them by me, as above should have exceeded the ordinary rate
of the wages of laborer — if to the profit had as above, upon
the labour of the several hands; be moreover added the profit
which in every profitable manufacturing concern
the Master-Manufacturer makes as such — it
will not I say I am inclined to think appear
unreasonable, if from all these sources of additional or extra profit
taken together, the aggregate profit should be considered
as promising to constitute a sufficient set-off against
the 1/4 of earnings so engaged to be allowed as aforesaid.

But if to my Arbitrators it should appear otherwise,
and even so far otherwise, and that it should not appear
proper to them to set down any thing to the score of
profit on any one of these three additional or extra Accounts, in which
case the 25 per cent that would have to be deducted from the whole of the
amount
amount of the ensuing
estimate of "damage
"by non-fulfilment of
"the contract, to me,
it will in for the reason
already intimated,
it would not make any practical
difference.
