Send me to an obscure inland place distant from the
River and from the Great Market, who can
say what difference it would make even in a
pecuniary view? This I know, speaking at a
venture ( for it is impossible any to speak with any
pretension of exactness is impossible) This I know
that though I certainly could not afford pretend
to give any such sum as the capital of an
annuity of £2,000 a year to secure the
present place, yet if I had the present place
I would not take the capital of an annuity to
that amount which makes £2,000 in that
is 46s more a head (£14,000 a year for
my thousand more instead of £12,000) to part
with it. Excluded from the River I can could not
get materials to work without a frightful addition
of expence, which it is impossible for me to subject
myself to without asking for compensation. Excluded
from populous and respectable neighbourhoods in the
vicinity of the Metropolis I even am cut off from
that circumstance.
