7 Bicetre Proposal

The buildings I would wish by all means
should be of wood the reasons seem conclusive
the relief would be immediate: the first expence would
be trifling: in point of durability the duration would it is true not
to fall very far short of that of stone: but it
would be at least proportionable to the expence:
fire as far as property is concerned is in question
would be the undertaker's concern: but it is provided
against not only by all the all powerful influence
of the inspection principle, but a variety
of particular contrivances.

The relief would be immediate: this consideration
ought of itself to be decisive: a multitude of
lives, I hope I am not too sanguine in saying
some hundreds are at stake depend upon it would in all probability be saved
by it: not to mention several years of misery or
comfort to so many thousands. If in wood, Three months would
suffice for the creation of the number of Panopticons
required: if in stone scarce three years. On the present
footing

A perpetual watch by night as well as by day:
no light within the reach of any one from where there
can be any thing to fear: an abundant supply of water
ready to be supplied at a moments warning to any part
of the building.
