§.7.(7) + 43
II. New York rate, for the year 1801, as per experience
£.s.d.

Grounds of the statement made in relation to this rate.

In Anno. 1801, or not long after, Thomas Eddy, a Quaker of New
York, with whom I had not any acquaintance, sent me a pamphlet of
97 pages, large 8vo, with Tables intituled "An Account of the State
"Prison or Penitentiary House in the City of New York."

"By one of the Inspectors of the prison " - as appeared afterwards
this Mr Eddy himself.

2. For this first of the two years, viz. 1801, the accounts of
this prison are not, to the purpose of the present enquiry, to my own
conception, altogether so clear as could have been wished. From the
original accounts, which, as above, my Arbitrators will, if such be
their pleasure, have before them, their superior experience may, perhaps,
enable them to render the matter clearer to their view of it, than
I have been able to render it to mine.

3. But, any difficulty or uncertainty, that may remain,
in relation to the accounts of this first year, viz. 1801, will, I am inclined
to think, be found lessened at least, if not entirely removed, in the
case of the account of the other year, viz. 1802.

4. The case is- that the year 1801 is the last of three years, in
which the system of buying materials to work upon, and tools to work
with, and then, when, by the labour of the prisoners, the materials
were they worked up into saleable articles, selling the articles accordingly,
was, throughout the whole of the year, pursued. In this way,
the state of profit and loss was in such sort complicated, that profit
by mere earnings does not appear to have been sufficiently distinguished
from Master Manufacturer's profit upon a rate, deducting interest upon
capital advances, &c.
