§.6. Contractor's own expected rate of profit

Note (a) Mr Sander's Speech

At the making of this Speech, I myself, as may
naturally be imagined, was present in the Gallery. By
Mr Dundas who so lately, in the Manufactory in
Question, had been viewing Machines in great Multitude
and Variety, at work in three four different Houses — all these
Machines indeed admitting in some sort of this Description —
but no one to the exclusion of any other — the effect —
neither was nor could have been in this way referred to
a single Machine. On the part of a Reportee, a —
