How extravagant soever the fees of counsellors at law may sometimes appear, their real retribution is never equal to this.
28 ページ - Capital is kept in existence from age to age not by preservation, but by perpetual reproduction: every part of it is used and destroyed, generally very soon after it is produced, but those who consume it are employed meanwhile in producing more.
