Excerpt: ...idly above PS6 a year, which is the Price of using PS100. He that wastes idly a Groat''s worth of his Time per Day, one Day with another, wastes the Privilege of using PS100 each Day. He that idly loses 5s. worth of time, loses 5s. and might as prudently throw 5s. in the River. He that loses 5s. not only loses that Sum, but all the Advantage that might be made by turning it in Dealing, which, by the time that a young Man becomes old, amounts to a comfortable Bag of Money. Again, He that sells upon Credit, asks a Price for what he sells equivalent to the Principal and Interest of his Money for the Time he is like to be kept out of it: therefore He that buys upon Credit, pays Interest for what he buys. And he that pays ready Money, might let that Money out to Use; so that He that possesses any Thing he has bought, pays Interest for the Use of it.

Those who pay for what they buy upon Credit, pay their Share of this Advance. He that pays ready Money, escapes or may escape that Charge. A Penny sav''d is Twopence clear, A Pin a Day is a Groat a Year. TO JOSIAH FRANKLIN 28 Philadelphia, April 13, 1738. Honoured Father , I have your favours of the 21st of March, in which you both seem concerned lest I have imbibed some erroneous opinions. Doubtless I have my share; and when the natural weakness and imperfection of human understanding is considered, the unavoidable influence of education, custom, books, and company upon our ways of thinking, I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who...
