The charge of
quarantine in
the foreign Lazarettos
is 10 per
Cent on the goods.
Thus then it
would be worth
their while to pay
for the expence
of quarantine in
England. The
saving of the delay
would be clear gain.
In the interest
of the Merchants
here the same
as that of the
Merchants
there?

Principles Expedients
Governor to be
in the most exposed
situation
The Building
being circular
goods may be
handed across
the Well at the
quarter opposite
to that at
which the wind
blows in to the
building.
Goods may be
slide down on a
bar – and
received from the
other side the
same way: in
The all after having
undergone a quarantine
of a particular
kind
Persons and
Companies in
health screened
from inspection
by a curtain
— ill, exposed
to inspection
and confined
by locking up them
into the Cell.
Centrality would
give the Governor
an all-commanding
view.
Invisibility would
secure the punctual
fulfillment of
their duty, on
the part of subordinates.

Expedients
The Governor would
see that all the
Bales were aired
equally. Minuteness
with regard to
one, would never
make up for
with regard
to any other.
Certificate with
each bale, that
it had been opened
&c by such a person,
and that he
had remained
days afterwards
without being affected.
Convicts may be
employed in the labour
of airing the
Cottons.

Probable expences
Situation – what
most eligible.
If it is be worth
the Interest while
it be at the expence
it can
only be in proportion
as it
is worth the while
of the Merchants
in question.
If their saving
by it will not
afford the interest
of the capital
necessary
to be advanced,
still less can it
be worth the
whole.
As to the present
danger of
importing the
plague from
Holland, this
danger however
real will not be
apprehended:
since for above
1 1/2 Century it
has never been realized.

Airing – Receptacles
Were receptacles
like Safes
for holding the
Cotton while
undergoing ventilation
Regular Draught of air
without rain
Dry lubber-board
windows?
Each safe to
hold the value quantity
of a Bale
To encrease the
ventilation it
might have
stories of stages
one over another
Would Muriatic
Acid in vapour
hurt it? or
Sulphur?
The cage should
be pyramidal.
The base towards at
the entrance of
the admission-duct,
the apex
at the passage
to the fire.

Airing – Process.
The only effectual
airing-process
would be
forcing the air
through the stages
by fires.
Making the Airing-luge
part of the admission-duct.
Air is so viscid,
that unless
forced in
some such way
it will never
penetrate any
depth into
such a substance.
The proportion
of bulk betwixt
the Bale and
its Airing-luge
being regulated,
and equal bulks
being lodged in
equal compartments
of the Cage,
the airing would
thus be as equal
as possible.
The dwelling
Cells over the
Airing-luges.
The ventilative
stoves and the
Kitchen fires to
have no air but
what passed through
the Airing-luges.
