Indirect

resent to a man to change his name: but it is not rather the that use it is,
if it not so great as it might be, for that embarrassment for that may be is frequently overcome got over. It never
could if the institution of marking were established.

The It In necessary essential that Such Accounts then are of use no for otherwise
than is as far as the persons of whom the account
is taken keep to their own names. But [the misfortune
is that] thieves and sharpers are very
apt to change their names: when a man's name
is grown dirty he throws it off as he would his
shirt, and takes another. The changing of one's
name accompanied with a change of of abode, & without any known reason openly assigned
is as strong an evidence reasonable a presumption as can well take place
be given of delinquency either perpetrated or designed.
It can be of no use or of reason and comparison
to the mischief. Paid One of the evils attributed
to great towns is
the refuge they afford to
persons of lost character,
weakening thereby the force
of the political moral sanction
as asylums do the power
of the law.
Yet in no body of laws
which I rather wonder at, have I ever found it
penal. It would be in to think The institution of marking would render it utterly
impracticable.

The taking keeping accounts of the number
of the people is an operation that might be found
performed ever since it is performed without the assistance adoption of this
expedient: [but the accuracy of the former operation but from the latter operation the former might
would be greatly assisted by the latter] receive a degree of accuracy which it would be scarcely practicable
to give it by any other means. As to the
uses of keeping such an account these will be brushed upon
further on!
