(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.

    Introduction

    '. 6. Tables - grounds of the opinion

    Note (a) to Table 1.

    (a) In this Table, under the head of Indian

    Revenue, vast differences will be found between some periods and others. For

    solution of the difficulty, the observation made by Townsend is that, when the amounts are so large it is the gross revenue that is given; when they are so small the net revenue. By net, what he seems to have meant

    is - that part, which found its way into the treasury is

    Spain: by gross, the whole of

    what was collected in America and Spain together: the rest

    being expended, in the countries in and from which it was collected. At the same

    time, you have seen him insisting that " the Spanish Colonies

    yield no direct revenue to the Mother Country": and the time, in relation to

    which this is said, is little distant from the times, at which, if the above

    supposition be correct, they are stated by him as yielding to the Mother Country

    considerable sums: namely Reals vellon 39,899,918 on an average of 10 years ending

    1778; and 60,000,000 reals vellon, on an average of 5 years, ending 1785. To

    reconcile the general assertion with these articular accounts, we must suppose, that,

    on the occasion of the general assertion, he took into consideration that part of the

    expenditure of Spain which, being made in Spain on account of Spanish America, was

    drawn from Spain: namely of the total expenditure of Spain in Spain, that part, which was bestowed upon such parts, of the Army,

    Navy, Judicial and Financial establishments respectively the demand for which was

    produced by the dominion exercised in Spanish America by the Spanish rulers. On this

    supposition, the expenditure, in Spain on account of Spanish America, being deducted from the net amount of the receipt in Spain from Spanish

    America,- the balance, according to his abovementioned general assertion, was
