Panopt. – Observats on Holford

A fixed table of diet! This the Honourable Report but
Unless it were the vague ideas of fixity and vulgarity
ideas to which when considered in an abstract point of view
the sentiment of approbation is generally attached is apt generally to attach itself had
he could he have had any determinate idea opted string of trade in his mind who on this occasion
and for the purpose he committed to paper this string
of words.

A table of diet – a course of diet give fixation
to it – to what purpose by any such fixation what is the good
purpose that could by any possibility be served?
Whatsoever were the object of one effect it could not fail
to be productive viz. viz. waste of money in the purchase
of articles at a dear rate, when articles equally well
adapted to the purpose intended purpose, the purpose of nourishment might be to be had
at a lower price. What On this subject what was his
notion supposing him to have had any notion what was
it? That the nutritiousness of an article of food depends
not upon the nature of the article but upon the price that
happen to be given for it.

To give as of food Of some article or
other of which the food of men in the county question is
customarily composed to give to each man in a day as
much as he chose to eat, this such was the engagement
offered to the appointed Manager, and was the engagement
which on the head was deemed satisfactory by the first
Lord Melville and Mr Pitt. Not so to the Honourable
Reporter. Why? – because in each head be the engagement what it his interest might his object or his determination and consequently his object was not
to be interested with it.
