scalentis A hypothesis 5 From p.9.
Yet betwixt Man and Boy and Man, there
will in some ages be, to the purpose of economy
as above mentioned, be no little or no difference
since for a man boy of 20 will earn quite as much
as a man of 21: whereas between Boy
and Boy there may in this respect be a
difference of no less than 1000 or 2000 per
Cent. A Boy of 4 year old shall earn
6 d a week: a Boy of 20 year old shall nine
or ten shillings: whih for a Boy of 4 year old, if he earn
any thing, no more than 6d, will be full pay.
The lights that have been thrown on
the subject of Pauper Economy in so
many important points of view, by the industry and
public spirit of different gentlemen whose
labours have been made public, are present <add>have</add> worthy
a well earnt title to public gratitude: of every acknowledgment: but in this article particular
they have failed us: for what had not never been
noted can could not be communicated. The
Censuses that have been given of the Pauper community in from a number of different Parishes excite our regrets
on this score, without satisfying our wants: for, in perhaps every Census, though in many or ev instances, the ages
have been mentioned with a sufficient degree of particularity,
yet in other instances in the same list age having been omitted
or "family" specified spoken of in no other than in the aggregate general terms without
much as an intimation of the number of the members of which which it was composed, the whole list has, to the purpose here in question been by these further omissions rendered useless.
