-sure ever so practicable it might have occasioned occasion that an
hundred such statutes as well as thirteen, without being and have been
never the nearer to be being effected. In the first place the provisions
made for enforcing conformity to the standards in
question are inadequate: in the next place, no such
standards ar unless it be here and there by accident
are to be met with, or nor does it appear for any thing
that appears were ever provided. If I had a business
of this sort to go through with and were in earnest
about it I would begin with sending a standard
of each sort to every parish in the kingdom; that
the people might have no farther to go in order to adjust this
point in their oeconomy than they have to go to church.
In the next place if I thought any sort of coercion
necessary I would [lay the ax to the root of the obnoxious
practise and] impose penalties on any workman
who after a certain time should make a weight or measure
otherwise than according to the standard. If I
thought it worth while which I hardly to endeavour to compass the
point at once on the sudden I would have recourse to the policy
pointed out in a former chapter, and invalidate

than the Kingdom of Man: others contain but a house or two apiece, and
might be contained en enclosed like infant Carthage, by a bull's hide. The
numbers of parishes in England are is 10,000 or thereabouts. This would make
