think due to the other. He knew, he could not
but know, that he was giving you a lesson against
at his own expence: though when he taught you
to repress generosity, I might almost have said I may indeed say lavishness
he little thought could hardly think you would
it so far improve upon his lesson to such a degree as to forget justice.

Be so good as to draw in your mind a
short parallel between the service of this
Copper-agent and that of Mr Henderson. The Copper-
agent rides at different times 2618 miles & back and
writes three letters: he neither knowing nor pretending
to know a little any thing of the subject and
doing nothing more than what any one of your
footman might have done.[+]
[+] What he does costs
him perhaps a days
time in the whole, and not a shilling
of expence.
In the event you are
not a half penny the better for him.In the course of the same month You make
him a present of 15 guineas which but for Mr
Henderson would have been fifty. Not succeeding
by the Copper-agent, you apply to Mr Henderson
a most consummate mechanick and chemist
both in theory and practise: a man of great experience
in the mining particular branch in question.
He had already visited the mine in question and
carried on enter'd into a negotiation with you on Mr Blair's
account, of which I say nothing because take no account, some because, though
the advantage was eventually and ultimately your's,
yet the business was undertaken on account of Mr Blair
