§1.§[7] [Peckinghil]...living by[Purchasing]§.5. "Purchasing" must be the word,
not dealing, which includes selling as well as purchasing.
Purchasing, and not selling, is the act
from whence the mischief arises, which is endeavoured
to prevent: and it is only by means of
the word purchasing that any the line of distinction
can be marked out between the Wholesale and the
Retail Dealer, two classes whichom the the Bill in two
instances. (viz: Rags and Metals) proposes to subject to different
rates of duty: for the pettiest dealer in this way,
however minute his purchases, will deal by wholesale
in his sales: nor can the wholesale dealer
be a whole-sale dealer in his purchases, of those
purchases are made of a retail-dealer, unless
the retail-dealer deals by wholesale in his sales.
What is more, purchasing is the only act, and not
selling, that[+] can be made taken for the subject of a licence, and [+] in the branch of trade in question,
then only, where the purchase is made for another person
in particular, or generally for the purpose of sale: for the
seller is in this case the individual who in the case of a purchase made has used the
goods by an honest purchaser, has used the as long as they were of use to him , and who has
no living to gain by the selling of them, since he
does not sell them for more than they cost him, but
always for a great deal less: he is the party on whose
account, not from whom apprehensions are entertained:[+]2 [+]2 the party to whosem favour , not against whom the protection of the law is meant to be afforded.

All this together forms a pr sort of a puzzle:
but a single observation presents the key to it. In the
branch of trade in question, viz: that which is occupied in
the collection of second-hand goods the course taken by
the article, in passing through the hands of the [+]retail trader, is the [+] sort of trader dealer regarded as the Retail dealer,
direct reverse of that which it takes in the case of new goods.
New goods the he being purchases by wholesale, viz: of
the wholesale trader dealer, and sells in retail, viz: to the consumer.
Second-hand goods and refuse articles he purchases
in retail, (viz: of the consumer who throws them out) and
sells by wholesale, to viz: to the wholesale dealer.

Under the word "purchase", barter, (it is presumed) can not but be deemed to be

included: so need therefore of inscribing the word barter. Had the word been buying, it might possibly have made a difference I Another
