If, to any person, the truth of the here averred
encrease, of the ratio of loss to profit, on each in
-stance of past separation, presents itself as
exposed
Note @ contin?
6. Annual aggregate of such particular Expen-
-diture for the 20 provinces will thus be R. V. 200,000,000.
7. Antecedently to any separation, total
annual amount of universally -ap-
-plying and particularly-applying expen-
-diture together will thus be .... 400,000,000.
Thus as to expenditure: in the language of Book
-keeping, loss.
Now as to profit: since for the pourpose of the ar
-gument in despite of probability, existece of a profit
must be supposed. Antecedently to the first separa
tion, profit (say) exactly equal to loss: say then R.V.
400,000,000.
1. State of the account at the end of the firsts year, after
separation of the province first departed.
Total Expenditure ------ 390,000,000
Total Receipt ------ 380,000,000.
Ratio of los to profit as 39 to 38.
2. On the second separation, it will be as 38 to 36: that is, as
19 to 18.
3. On the third separation, as 37 to 34.
4. On the fourt as 36 to 32: that is as 18 to 16; or 9 to 8.
To continue the series further would be need-
-less. From what has been seen, it will be sufficiently
evident that, at the point of time immediately preceding
the last separation of the twenty, the ratio of loss
to profit will have been as 20 to 1.
