§.6. (5) + (31
workmen, in whose case there seems no reason, why the rate at which,
for the purpose of the per centage to be paid to them by me, as above,
their labour would have been valued, should have exceeded the ordinary
rate of the wages of Labour - if to this profit, 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 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, 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
would have to be deducted from the whole amount of the ensuing estimate
of "damage by non fulfilment of the Contract" to me, for the
reason already intimated it would not make any practical
difference.

In the sums, thus brought to view in the character of elementary
parts of the expected profit, I cannot, I must confess, so long as they
are considered one by one, conceive how there should be anything capable
of producing in any judicious mind a judgement of disbelief, or so
much as an emotion of surprize. But, when they are brought together
and by the successive application of two such large multipliers
as those which, out of all dispute belong as will now be seen to the present case, made up
into a total, then it is that the imagination will
upon a first glance, be but too apt to make a start, and though
without any assignable ground, call upon the judgement to retract
the approbation, which it had found itself unable to refuse, to any
one of the component parts, when separately considered.
