Satisfying
The worst case of all is when men in
the full vigour of tin possession of all their faculties are maintained
in idleness because they can't or say they
can't get work. In artificial navigations
reservoirs are provided by which the superfluous
water element is occasionally carried off. Might not
this idea be applied to the employment of
the poor? Whether there be or be not any
works of supererogation in the religious oeconomy,
in political there are many. There
are always many by without which the condition of the state the
state
may subsist, but by which it might be
made better. Roads may be improved open'd, canals
may be open'd cut, harbours may be cleansed.
There are some many sorts of industry of which may
be performed carried on by any body, of which the produce
will may be carried any where and which will
always bear a price. No woman who Spinning
net — rope-making, net-making, knitting, lace-making
are in many of their branches performable in
some degree or other with very little practise
and many of them are works for women.
The public purse could in no way not be better
employ'd than in filling up the occasional
vacancies deficiencies that may occasionally take place in
the demands of individuals.
