We have five millions of capital on our books, as you see--five _bona fide_ millions of _bona fide_ sovereigns paid up, sir,--there is no dishonesty there.

But why should we not have twenty millions--a hundred millions?
Why should not this be the greatest commercial Association in the world ?--as it shall be, sir,--it shall, as sure as my name is John Brough, if Heaven bless my honest endeavours to establish it! But do you suppose that it can be so, unless every man among us use his utmost exertions to forward the success of the enterprise?
Never, sir,--never; and, for me, I say so everywhere.

I glory in what I do.

There is not a house in which I enter, but I leave a prospectus of the West Diddlesex.
There is not a single tradesman I employ, but has shares in it to some amount.

My servants, sir,--my very servants and grooms, are bound up with it.
