Ch. Plan Note [22][Portrait ... from an engraving on wood] Ch. Plan Notes

The Note being, for the purposes already
mentioned [note ] made divisible into two parts,
it may be of use that each should have its portrait
— that whatever degree of security against forgery
the portrait may be capable of affording should be
possessed by each. The principal portrait being
from an engraving in <add>a plate of metal or some other such material
as requires a rolling press to work it off,
it may be of use that the additional portrait
should be from an engraving in wood . The reason
is that the two branches of the art are in practice effect
distinct arts, exercised in the way of <add>for business</add> by different hands. If then
notwithstanding this additional security the
attempt be made , one of two things must happen:
either it mu the two operations must either be carried executed
on performed by two different hands , or by the same hand,
in the first case In both cases the difficulty is
by this means increased : in the first case by
the difficulty of chances there are against the
concurrence of two hands in the prosecution of
so dangerous a design an enterprize , and by the increased
probability of discovery through imprudence or
disagreement ; in the other case , by the chances there
are against the union of two such different branches
of art — (and that to a degree of perfecttion adequate
to the purpose ) in one and the same hand . The
fewer the individuals smaller the number of the artists who are capable of bringing
such an union to bear, the smaller the chance of finding
among them a in among the number of them an person capable
of attempting the commission of such a crime : and
the greater the degree of talent requisite , the less the
chance that a man possessed. of that degree of talent
should regard it as worth his while [+} [+] to engage in so desperate a course to have reason recourse to such desperate resources for his support. <add>To</add>
