2. Proof viz. Inferiority
of the allowance in
case of salvage by
recapture.
viz. no more than 1/8th.
3. profit
2. A A third reason circumstance from which the supposition hypothesis of superfluity
in the case of the general rule appears to receive
confirmation, is the quantum of allowance made under
the name of salvage in the case of recapture. The proportion
allowed in this case is no more than one eg
eighth.
If from in this case alone, and in this case from this circumstance alone the conclusion
dra respecting the proportion necessary and proper to
be allotted were to be observed grounded, great vast indeed would
be the amount of the excess, proportionably ample the
retrenchment, if any, that would be proper to be made
But in this case on the profit side one item presents itself by which
though not expressible in figures, the deficiency may
by no means without reason be su supposed to be made
up. This is composed of the pleasure of profit made <add>reaped in the shape of sympathy
from the consideration of the rob relief afforded to that
portion of one's our fellow countryment who were by the
capture, and the honest price assured and reputation reaped from the exercise problem
of the virtue of beneficence.
