242 Letter X. Choice of the Trades Should be free.

for instance, as Porters, Coal-heavers, Gardeners, and Husbandmen.
In the last I would place gentlemen men regularly brought up to the
profession of thieving, and others gentlemen who are too much so taken
have never been brought up to any kind of industry. Some names for these
different classes I may as well endeavour to find as not: for names
they must have when they get into their house: and, if I perform
not that business myself, somebody else must do it for me. I will
call them the good hands, the capable hands, the promising hands
and the drones. As to the capable hands, they will, of course, be the
more valuable, the nearer the businesses they understand approach
to those of the good ones; in other words, the less difficulty there would
be in teaching the latter the businesses of the former. The same observation
of course applies to the promising hands: in as far as
the advantage which the one possess by habit the others may appear
to possess by disposition. Lower down in the scale of detail I will
not attempt to lead you.

You have a very pretty law in England, for enriching
the country, by keeping boys backwards, and preventing anyone
men from following the trades they could get most by. If I were was jealous of
Russia's growing too rich, and being able to buy too many of our
goods, I would try to get such a law as that introduced among these stupid
people here, who have never yet had the sense to think of any
such thing. Having no such Jealousy against any country,
much
