Influence with them; by the Agreement of the Booksellers
of this Place, every new Book is common Property
and each Person in the Trade may have a Share
in every Book reprinted. There are several —
concerned in the Edition of the "Defense of Usury"
of which I am one; the number printed 750,
of which I do believe more than half are sold,
and have no doubt of the Remainders selling
in a short time.

I cannot at present find a Copy of the Newspaper
that contained the Advertisement of the "Defense
of Usury" shod I be able to procure a copy I
will send it to you.

Every Man here, that I have heard speak
of that work, does it in terms of the highest
approbation, and I do think, it has had a
wonderful Influence in the Mens Minds, with
respect to the Interest Bill, for you have illuminated
the subject beyond any other writer that has
gone before you.

Should I be able to prevail (which I very much doubt)
on the Booksellers not to reprint your Pieces, I will
immediately inform you.

I am
Sir
your obliged &
obedt humble servant
