53 Letter XI. Multiplication of Trades is not necessary

not having the mantle of legislation to screen me from the ridicule of going
beyond my last, I forbear to specify even what I have under my eye, knowing
that in Mr Arthur Young, a gentleman whom no man one can accuse of
hiding his candle under a bushel, any body that chooses it might find
an informant, who on this, as well as so many other important subjects,
for every grain of information I could give, could give a one thousand.

But, without any disparagement to that gentleman, for
whose publick spirited labours and well-directed talents no man can feels
a greater respect than I do, there are other persons who, on these same subjects
could, for such a purpose, give still more and better information than he,
and would not be less communicative, I mean as before Mr Daily Advertiser
and his brethren.

There are two points in politicks very hard to compass.
One is, to persuade legislators that they do not understand shoemaking
so well as better than shoemakers: the other is, to persuade shoemakers that they do
not understanding legislating so well as better than legislators. The latter point is
particularly difficult in our own dear country: but the other is the hardest
of all hard things every where.
