166. «In short the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words industry and Frugality; that is waste, neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything. He that gets all he an honestly (…) and saves all he gets (necessary expenses excepted, (will certainly become rich, if that Being who governs the world, to whom all should look for a blessing on their honest) (endeavoura, doth not, in his wise providence other wise determine. Writings, ed.Smyth, 2, 370)» (В. Franklin, Memoirs, I (1833), 147).

170. «Mai fu nella famiglia nostra Alberta che ne'tafiichi rompesse la fede ed onesta debita, el quale onestissimo costume, quanto veggio, in la famiglia nostra sempre s'osser-vera…» (Alberti, Fam. 134). «Mai ne traffichi nostri di noi si trovo che admetesse brutezza alcuna. Sempre in ogni contracto volso no e nostri observare somma simplicita, somma verita e in questo modo siamo in Italia et fuer d'ltalia… conosciuti grandissimi mercatan-ti…» (Ibid., p. 133). «In ogni compera et vendita siavi simplicita, verita, fede et intagrita tanto со lo strano, quanto con l'amico, con tutti chiaro et netto…»

171. Так, Samuel Lamb ставил их в пример в своем прошении по поводу учреждения банка в Лондоне (1659) в Lord Somers Tracts, изд. Walter Scott, 6, 444 (и след.). Омет Fellham в своих «Observations» (1652) говорит о голландцах: «In all their manufactures, they hold a moderation and constancy, for they are as fruit from trees, the same every year that they are at first; not apples one year and crabs the next and so forever afor. In the sale of these they sale of these also are at a word: they will gain rather than exact, and have not that way whereby our citions abuse the wise and cozen the ignorant and by their infinite over-asking for commodities proclaim to the world that they would cheap all if it were in their power» (Цитировано у Douglas Campbell, The Puritan, 2 327 (и след.). О подделках и мошенничестве «the besetting sins of English tradesmen» можно еще сравнить (Цит.: Ibid.) Froude, Hist. of E. 12, 565; F.A. Inderwik, The Interregnum, P. 62, 79, 81. Те примеры мошеннических уловок, распространенных в английском деловом мире, которые перечисляет Defoe в своем «Complete english Tradesman» (Gh. XX, 5-е изд.), также не свидетельствуют о высокоразвитой солидности.

172. «Sempre daremo luogo alla onesta, che con noi sia come un publico quioto, pratico e prudentissimo sensale of qualo misuri, posi, annoveri molto bene piu volte et stimi e pregi ognfnostro acto, facto, pensiero e voglia» (Alberti Delia famiglia, 140), «quello che dara l'ultimo lustro a tutte le nostro operationi pulitissimo e splendissimo in vite, edopo noi fermissimo et perpetuissimo, diso la onesta… la quale sempre fu ottima maestra delle virtu, fedele compagna delle lode, benignissima sorella de costumi religiosissima madre d'ogni tranquillita e beatitudine del vivere…» etc. etc. Мещанское благоприличие <«non manco e utilissimo»… E cosi sempre satisfacendo al guidicio della onesta ci troveremo richi, lodati amati et onorati L.c., p. 139 (и след.).

173. «In order to secure my credit and character as a tradesman, I took care not only to be in reality industrious and frugal, but to avoid the appearances to the contrary. I dressed plain (просто) and was seen at no places of idle diversion: I never went out fishing or shooting», etc. (Mem. of the Life and Writings of Benj. Franklin. Written by himself. I-(1883), 103).

174. «tre cosemaxime conno oportune: a chi wuee con debita diligentia mercantare. De le quale la potissima e la pecunia numerata: e oghi altra faculta substantiale. La seconda che i recerca al debito trafico: sie che sia buon ragioneri e trompto computista… La terza: e ultima cosa oportuna sie: che non bello ordine tutte sue facende debitamente disponga: acio con breuita: possa de ciascuna hauer notitia». (Lucas de Burgo. Summa de Arithnetica ec. (1494). ed. 1523, p. 198, II.
