§. 7. 31.

unsuccessful, would, at any rate, consume time and labour; and as,
in the next place, though, in relation to this point, the success were
even so complete, still, to any attempt to calculate the correspondent
Rates of Profit, great difficulties would be found opposing themselves,
it seemed better, after affording the general indication thus afforded
to forbear attempting to trouble the Arbitrators without any such details,
unless in their view of the matter, it should prove to be necessary with
relation to some specific and practical purpose.

7. Observation the 7<hi rend="superscript">th: Giving, to the Reverend Gentleman's
management, whatever credit can be desired for all other desirable
qualities, yet, as to what concerns the only result here in question, viz
pecuniary profit, it will not, I imagine, by any eye whatever,
taken even at it's highest point in the scale of felicity, as above, be regarded
as affording anything like a fair sample of the profit reasonably to
have been expected, with the help of such peculiar advantages as
those which in the Claimant's case, have been brought to view. No
doubt but that it would have been possible to have produced, even upon
so large a scale as the Claimant's, pecuniary results still less profitable
than what appear to have been produced by the management conducted
upon that small scale: but, in looking out for the degree of pecuniary
success, which, under the circumstances of the case ought to be regarded
as most probable, any Arbitrators will not, I flatter myself,
look upon it as proper for them to fix their eyes exclusively,
either upon the least profitable result which it is possible to conceive,
or even, among so many as have been brought to their view, upon
those by which the lowest rate of profit has actually been afforded.

Of any literary labour performed by the Reverend Manager in the
vineyard of pecuniary economy, no fruits appear to have been brought
to view by the Reverend Gentleman. Of literary labour performed in
that same vineyard (not to speak of that of Reformation etc.) by the
Claimant, proofs, such as they are, are in the hands of the Arbitrators.+
