Panopt. Compensation Claim II Trade profit estimate
impracticable

(2) (1) 12

Cowie's less estimate of it

2. Another chilling cloud is that which hangs over
the second ground of my claim = loss by the destruction
of the manufacturing concern. To have a value to set
upon a thing that never had existence! and such a thing!
The late Duke of Bridgwater, Sir Richard Arkwright — (Messrs Bolton and Watt) — or
any other of those ingenious and inventive men whose ingenuity
has received such rich reward — suppose any of
them
just at the outset of their respective projects — when
as yet on their part it had been all disbursement — not
a penny received in return — just at that nick of time
suppose them to have been unfortunate enough by a
misfortune similar to my Brothers and mine to have been
bereft of the source of all their hopes, what value would
they have put upon their respective interpreters. of the profit actually reaped by them Suppose
them to have named but the half or the quarter of the
profit actually ga
part — if the mark of the Doctor
had saved him from any such mistification — what scorn
and division would not instead of money been showered

the materials wrought upon and the ineptitude of the products
resulting from the operations performed upon their
materials. were The projects of even these so eminently successful
projectors would be found to yield fall indeed behind
the works thus received in question in point of pecuniary promise
