21 Apr 1813 6 1o?
Panopt. Compensation Claim II. Terms of the Act
6

I had Rather much rather would I have been poor to be poor to the verge of
indigence with the thought of having rendered these services to console me
than rush to any pitch of opulence to which it is in the power of
Parliament to raise me.

The damage to which my claim, if such it in
my estimate it can be called must make reference, divides
itself into the three four branches of which estimation is
given in the Act.

1. Ex Loss by fortune Property expended in the trying of the course of the those mechanical experiments
of my Brothers which led to manufacturing concer preternated
in the great variety of inventions the propriety of which was
secured by a number of patents; and on the ground which we were
on the point of establishing a manufacturing concern, when
upon the acceptance of given to my offer for taking
upon myself the management of a thousand prisoners
in the time therein mentioned, and applying these inventions
to the purpose of affording profit yielding employment
to altogether unpracticed hands, we were led
to the giving to, as fa r as as in my power the system of inventions whatsoever extent
it might be susceptible of, instead with a view to its
application to that purpose, instead of confining our
exertions and disbursements in the first instance to secure
one branch of business such as might afford the fairest
prospect of a prompt and ample pecuniary return.

Of this expenditure and of the fruits of it some discount
is given may be seen in my evidence as delivered
Ao 1798 to the Committee on Finance

28th Finance Report of
Ao 1797-98.

☞ First give the item
of damage shortly, and
with reference to the words
of the Act. Then repeat
their severity with
explanations.
