Letter 43 3 Letter X. Choice of the Trades Should be free
much less against my own Utopia, I would beg that law might be banished -- 170
from within my walls. I fancy my Contractor would not be sorry be as well pleased +
with its room as its company:to be rid of it: and as the same indulgence has been
granted to other persons of whose industry no great jealousy seems to

he could muster.
With his promising hands and his drones, he would
set up a manufacture. What then shall this manufacture be? It may
be this, and that, and t'other thing," says the Hard labour Bill:—
<hi rend="superscript">It shall be any thing, say or every thing, say I.
As to the question what sort of manufacture or manufacturer
would be likely to answer best; it is a discussion I will not
attempt to lead you into: for I do not propose at present to entertain
you with a critical examination of the several actual and possible
