it. They were delighted with it accordingly. They had
heard rumours- they were alarmed- they did not
know what to do about it- they did not know
whom to trust- it was a happy opportunity- a real
acquisition to have somebody to look into the business
who was not in office....An order then for two
visitors to take with them...O' no! it was not
necessary- they need not trouble themselves- it should
meet them there. It should meet them there! accordingly
it did meet them there: - & why? that every thing
not fit to be seen might first be put out of sight as
much as possible:- that part of the filth might be
shoveled away:_ that eatable food might for the moment
take place of uneatable: that the plague of famine
might for the time be stayed: that in the motley
company there each person might have his part given
him to act: that instructions might be given to one
class, injunctions backed with menaces to another:
that every mouth might have a padlock put to it:
that a varnish of some sort or other might be put
upon every object- that a mask of some sort or other
m might be put upon every face..

Were not there the motives? They why was the
order refused to be delivered? Why was it determined
to be sent? Why was it that the visit was so "mani-
"-festly prepared for
"? Why was it that at the expence of a
virtual confession of male-practice below, of connivance
and protection above_ of guilt in both places, the
principle of unexpected visitation- so fundamental
a principle in economics- a principle so universally
recognized
