way of enjoyment, there would have been expended
in the purchase of labour not so
employed as not to have behind it any produce
whatsoever, such as that of domestic servants
of all descriptions actors, dancers, musicians, kept mistresses &c – say 100,000
Of do spent £900,000 there would have
been spent in the purchase of labour so
employ'd to employed in the production
of commodities which when sold, are
