In speaking of the damage by non fulfilment of contract
having on of making a false statement; and that to my own
prejudice been unavoidably led to the mention of so vast a sum
though never unaccompanied with the observation of its extending
far beyond what I can expect to find my Arbitrators considering
themselves as warranted in awarding, I should be wanting to myself
if I did not use my best endeavours to impress upon their minds
those considerations which I cannot but flatter myself; will in
every candid mind suffice to clear, even so large an estimate from
any such imputation as that of absurdity and extravagance.
My proposal including as an essential article, an
engagement to provide employment for all such prisoners as after their
discharge should seek it at my hands, the administration of the
day, with Mr Pitt and the first Lord Melville at the head of it, I may
merely venture to say, would never have given to it the acceptance
which they did give to it, had they not in their own minds, been perfectly
convinced of my ability to fulfill this part of my engagement. But the
species of work which my Brothers inventions embraced, inventions consisting
of mechanical operations which in great variey those enlightened
Statesmen saw performed under their one eyes- were all of them such
as were and are performed by workmen, whose labour was then paid for
at a rate exceeding more or less- in many instances in the rates of 2 to 1
and more— the wages of ordinary labour: in the situation in question
minimum rate, 2..6, at the same time that the extraordinary dispatch
which by the same means was given to the work, was a result altogether
as open to observation as the faculty of performing it by those means.
Of those enlightened Statesmen, it was therefore the complete persuasion that
