The chance of being
brought up to any
of these genteel employments
will be
regarded as a valuable
ticket in the Lottery
of Life.

Each to have at
least two professions
generally one laborious,
another
unlaborious.

The two not to be
such as are liable
to fail at one:
ex. gr. Gardener's
and Waterman's:
both liable to fail
through frost: tho'
in the Thames, a
frost taking away
the demand for
Watermen is very
rare.

The publicity &
of the establishment
may afford
opportunities
of recommending a
few for Commissioners
in the Gov. & E.I.
Company's services

Infants. Arena for —

Infants — soft substratum
for them to
roll about in and
try to track on naked

If they have no clouts
sand, which must
be changed every day
and the child washed
as soon as taken out.

It they have clouts,
a softer material
may be used — for
instance chaff

Chaff even if ruined
by the childrens
excrement
may perhaps
serve for food
for Hogs

If rocking is proper, a number of
cradles may be rocked
at once by turning
of a fly-wheel.

Why can not a
child suck fresh
cow's milk through
an artificial nipple

Quere how many
children would one Cow serve for?

The children could
not suck the cow themselves
— the operation
would be too long —
longer than the Cow would
bear — and take up
too much attendance.

A multitude of children
a dozen or more
might be laid round
a vessel full of milk,
with an artificial
nipple for each —
suppose ten such
artificial breasts, with
each ten nipples to
each

Infants

Possibly in case of
a contagious disease
the mode might be infectious
— if so, each
child should have
an
artificial breast to itself

The temperature
being kept up uniform
(say between 60
70 & 80) they need
have no cloathing
till they were able
to go alone

Unless exposure
to the open air were
deemed necessary, in
which case they might
have each a little
jacket more or less
worn according to the
weather, and be exercised used
as well as aired by
some of the exercising
machines. Vide List of exercises.

Machines for shaking
infants.
Per Miss. F. shaking
is essential to their
health.

Some infants should
be brought up with
milk in the usual
way, as a standard
of comparison.

The Sotimion women
might answer
this purpose as far
as they want — changing
the children & not beginning
with their
own.

Water-luggage-Boys

Some of the Boys
to Row Panopticon
Stage, House-
Boats &c: to being
people Visitors to
Panopticon Hill,
Places takeable as
in the Panopticon
Stage.

This in Summer
will be pleasanter
than the Stage: and
many be afforded as
cheap.

The Boats may be
Vermicular.

The Boys may
thus be employ'd by
turns in bringing
Loads of Manure &c
from London.

<

p>Luggage may
thus be taken as
well as Passengers,
and the Luggage
Boats employ'd in
fetching manure
only in as far as
they fail of obtaining
Luggage.</p>

Could not some
of the most orderly
of the convicts be so
employ'd? A man
with fore-arms being
stationed in a sort of
pulpit a separate Host to knock any
one who should attempt
escape.

Several of the Convicts
must have been sea-faring
men.

Those who would be
Rowers, may while
there is a fair wind be
most of them employ'd
in some sedentary employment
on board:
such as netting,
-wearing &c

Rowing will make
a Sunday's recreation
for the sedentary class
under Upsal's observation

Hollow
