8 Nov. 1800

In looking for the amount of the rise – in casting
about for the least incorrect as well as easiest
formed approximation that can be adapted to made use of for the
purpose I have been fortunate enough to meet with
an estimate already formed as if it had been on
purpose. I mean the Table of the Rise of prices
computed and digested by Sir George Shuckburgh
Evelyn printed in the Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society for 1798 and reprinted in Nicholson's
Philosophical Journal for the month of September
in that same year. Framed without suspicion
of the application now made of it, it is on the
score of impartiality at least altogether above reproach.
Another circumstance of peculiar felicity attending
it is – that being framed at and for a time
when the existing century wanted a few years of
its completion, its it is carried down notwithstanding
– carried down by analogy and proportion, to
the end. It by that means presents the result
of the gradual and regular encrease, cleared
from those casual causes of disturbance which have concurred to
swell swelled beyond all proportion the actual amount
of the encrease for this last and the preceding year.
