In the case of his good success, I see the causes of that too:

and every body sees them, as before: and, amongst others, all persons
who could propose to themselves to get into a situation similar to his;
and who, in such case, would naturally promise themselves, in the
event of their getting into his situation, a success equal to his: or rather
greater: superior: for such is the presumption and vanity natural to man
Without such publication, who should I have to deal with,
besides him? them? certainly, in comparison, but a very few: not many
more than I may have had at first: the terms, of course, disadvantageous as at first: for disadvantageous terms at
first, which while which all is yet in darkness, they certainly must be.
After such publication, who should I have then?
I should have every body: every body who, by fortune, experience, judgement,
disposition, should conceive himself able, and find himself inclined,
to engage in such a business: and each person, seeing what advantage
had been made, and how, would be willing to make his offer in proportion.
What situation more favourable for making the best terms?
These best terms, then, I should make, at his death,
even for his establishment: but long before that, had I others upon
the carpet, I should make similar good terms for all those others.
Thus I make his advantage mine, not only after it has ceased to be his,
but almost as soon as it commences so to be. I thus get his success
in all the rest, right, by paying for it only in the one; and in
that not more than it was necessary to pay for it.
