    (d) by net amount seems to be here meant,

    what was considered as the net amount of the sums received in Spain, after deduction

    made of those expended in Ultramaria. But, to find the result in respect of profit

    and loss from the dominion over Ultramaria to Spain, against this so stiled net amount, must be set that part of the aggregate expence

    of Spain, which, but for the dominion, would not have had existence: and which it is

    supposed would not be found so little as twice the amount of this stiled net profit.

    Edition, Count de Grepi was Imperial Consul at Cadiz 16 II. 412. "The revenue in America are Townsend's words. Probably on this and every

    other occasion, American was employed in a sense coxtensive with that of Ultramarian:

    in comparison with than of American the receipt and expedition of all the other parts

    of the Ultramarian dominion of Spain being of too small account to be regarded as

    worth a distinct notice.
