upon the nominal price of the article by the measure of
the name in question and 2. upon the ratio of his
measure to your's. Let it be corn for instance that
you want to buy: let the price with you be are
content to give be 4s a bushel: your bushel containing
10 8 gallons. First 1. then
let his bushel be 10 gallons
at the same price: in this case indeed if you being
content to give 4s for 8 gallons and finding that you
have got ten for it you are agreeably surprized. But
2dly instead of 10 gallons let it be but 6: in this
case you are disappointed and deceived: you give
4s for what in your estimation is worth but 3s. 3dly
Let the his bushel be 10 gallons but let the price
of it be 5s: viz: nominally as much greater as y his bushel
is larger than your's. In this case you do not deal
with him at all: although if you knew how the
matter stood you might deal with him to your mutual
advantage. You would not even deal with him
although the price of his bushel were but 4s 6d: in
which case you would actually make get it your corn
6d a bushel cheaper, instead of paying 6d dearer
for it as the nominal price would seem to indicate.
By this means you can miss of this advantage, while
his corn remains perhaps upon his hands.
