Note 111 — PART II. CONTAINING Remarks on some Particulars in a Speech at opening the Budget in April 1776.
Reading edition
The expectation of receiving back some time or other the purchase-money would probably, in private loans, influence a purchaser. But in the cases to which I allude, this certainly was not considered, and did not at all influence. And if it had influenced, the observations I have made as I have gone along, demonstrate that the same loans would have been made without any such expectation.
