35 Letter 9 Letter IX. Penitentiary - Houses - Economy - Contract - Plan 166
I am come now to the article of pecuniary economy; and as this
is the great rock upon which the original Penitentiary-plan, I understand,

other inventions is rewarded, by the profit which a monopoly secured
by patent enables a man to make; and that, in proportion to the
success which constitutes their merit. He should have it during good
behaviour: which, you know is as much as to say, unless specific instances
