Observations
1.
The result therefore of this inquiry seems to be
this. Every person must as at present be left free to keep & use crucibles
and melting pots as at present: without being licenced: but no
person, must, without subjecting himself to the licence, purchase Second-hand metals for
melting of any persons at large, i:e: of any
other persons than licenced dealers. The consequence
will probably be, as above stated, that the principal
part of all these trades in number, including
the most reputable in point of opulence, will submitt
to the restriction of either not purchasing but their
materials in a second-hand state at all, or not purchasing
them but of such [of their brothers in trade]
persons (including the remaining and supposed smaller
number of these same classes of traders) as deem it
worth their while to take out licences to empower them
to buy the articles of persons at large. In this state of
things, the object system will be attained pursued as far as it
is pursuable, and at the same time without any considerable
inconvenience
inconvenience. What
is necessary is - that
persons purchasing
articles of this sort
of persons at large
should be subjected
to a licence: what
is not necessary is -
that, while there are
persons licenced empowered
to purchase
these articles of persons
at large that
bulk of the trade in
each case sho
some faculty should be
possessed and exercised by every body in the trade.
