 resulted in each forming of the other an unfavourable

 would have marred their mutual respect for one another. 



But the keeper of the Registry, by procuring all the 

 necessary information, saves both parties the trouble and 

 worry of character hunting and certificate finding. He 

 knows his men and the situations they are qualified to fill — 

 for the applicants know it will answer their purpose best to 

 be explicit, and therefore communicate freely to him all that 

 it is requisite for him to know, in order to enable him to 

 form a correct estimate of the applicant's talents and 

 abilities ; and hence he has no difficulty in putting the 

 right man in the right place.
