Observations

Though for the present purpose it may suffice, yet in this
Statement, were it ever to be made public, I fear I should be
found not to have done Justice to the good economy of the
Philadelphian Managers.

In this prison, throughout the whole of the former Year
1801, the system of Management pursued was the comparatively
disadvantages one above mentioned, viz. the carrying on a
variety of Manufacturing Concerns, in which, as such, profit
and loss by buying and selling was complicated with
profit by wages of Labour.

In the Year 1802, this less advantageous system
the trades being all ordinary () was relinquished for the
more advantageous system, consisting in the letting out the
Labour of the prisoners; taking this for the sole source of profit,
do. by wages of Labour simply; unencumbered with profit and loss
by buying and selling.

This most simple of the two systems is the only one which, in
the Panopticon Prison, I should have pursued, in the Case of
such Prisoners as, in that situation would have been employed, as
above, each Man in his own Trade. Of the more
complicated system, had it in my prison had any application
the application would have been confined, to the Case of such
of the Prisoners, as would have been employed in my
Brother's system of Mechanical Inventions, above mentioned;
and, even in that Case, the more simple method would
have been employed in preference; so far as it would
have been found applicable — taking in —Timber
Boards and Slabs, for instance, to be saved into
Boards and Veneers, and after sawing, to be planed
wood to be manufactured into Wheels, Sashes, Chairs
Tables, and so forth.
