would without them. Sure I am, that, were I in his place, I should
require no small abatement to be made to me, if, instead of choosing
the employments for my own men, I was liable, at every turn, to
have them taken out of my hands, and put to different employments
by A, B, and C, today, and by X, Y, and Z, tomorrow.

have my doubts at present, whither the plan was rendered much
the better for these ingenious but complicated refinements. They
seemed mighty fine to me at the time: for when I saw consideration
and contrivance, I expected success proportionable.
