I shall still be able to bear such less, and I am content
to bear it. If I make no profit upon the males, or if
the profit made upon the males falls short of covering the
loss upon the females, then, and then only it is that I
call for any addition at all; nor in that case do I call
for any greater addition than what shall shall be sufficient to
make it me whole.
[+] For the plans relative
to this subject see
the. Papers on Pauper
management published
in Youngs Annals of
Agriculture VolXXX
A.O 1797 p.p. from 99
to 112.
"But you may have miscalculated" (say Honourable
Gentlemen) "and the loss upon the females may to any
"degree be greater than you can cover by all your profit on
"the males" Possibly, answer I: and in that went the
sooner the concern is out of my hands the better.
But my accounts will be kept in the plainest and clearest
manner:[+]and to a degree of copiousness and minuteness as
yet without example. They shall at all times be open to
the inspection of any lawful authority that shall be named:
and if nobody comes to inspect, as soon as the symptoms
of failure become visible to me, so soon will I, of my
own accord point them out. What should hinder me? In
point of purse, in point of reputation, what should I
get by plunging deeper into debt and disgrace? Disgrace
in respect of probity as well as intelligence would be the
result of improper perseverance: disgrace in respect of probity
at least would be saved by prompt disclosure.
But the exigency respecting the females is I understand
a very pressing. — If so, I am solicitous to do
whatever may be in my power towards meeting this exigency
with the utmost promptitude
Gentlemen's apprehensions (I understand) are pretty much
alive to the danger of insurrection and forcible escape on the
part
