the difference in the two cases is matter of accident,
however, and does not arise out of any difference
in the nature of the two cases. The persons employed

of a higher class:a class not inferior to the other
This new use of persons are the persons employ'd in

The persons employ'd about the stamps
are Shopkeepers of the same class, and frequently
the same individuals. It is not more difficult
to count stamps than to count letters: nor to
count money produced paid in the one account

more varieties in the sums received in account
of stamps than in the sums received in
account of letters. So thus the account is in a
proportionate degree more complicated. But in
each case instance the sum to be taken on account
of a stamp is stands indicated in the form of the stamp

of the dealings) of the meanest shopkeeper.
