Pauper Populousness 5 4
So where age
is the characteristic.

So again, where the variation in point of
neat expence has no other cause than the difference
between age and age. In the case of a full
grown person, incapable of all work,+1 the amount
of necessary expence, every thing included, may+2
perhaps be true as much as that of a child
of the 3 or 4 year old for instance:</del> while on
the other hand in the case of a full grown person an individual
of the male same sex, possessing an ordinary degree
of ability with regard to work and full-grown+3, the capacity if affording
in the shape of labour a return for the
expence (I speak of mere natural capacity) may
be from it to 20 times as great in the adult as in
the child, even supposing the child to stand already
upon the working list, and to be earning every
day a sum worth taking into account: and
therefore when compared with a child not yet to work, the capacity
of the men or
full grown Boy
may be as 16
or 20 to nothing.

Between these two extremes in the scale of
profit and loss, there will be a series of perceptible gradations,
at least as many as there are between year
and year of age: insomuch that, although the total
number of a Parish stock of Pauper Boys, for
example were known, no tolerable calculation could be
made of all the quantum of profit or loss derivable capable of being derived, or likely to accrue from that
stock, unless the proportions in which that number is divided
betwixt the different ages were known, not less than a
year being taken for the interval between age and age.

+1 to take the male
sex for instance.

+2 when compared to
the case of a child
of 3 or 4 years old
per amount perhaps
to twice as much.

+3 though not yet
whether arrived or
arrive at the
not at
commencement of
what in property
around the age
of manhood
