§ 16 Promulgation
If indeed men were as wise and as provident in
their the concerns of the public, as [it is common
for them to be] in their own, these two objects would
be as inseparable in the one case as in the other:

providence when compared with the care and wisdom of the
same man in the capacity of a statesman. A preten

the footman load burthen [the memory of] one servant with ord business which
another is to perform: she does not load trouble the cook
with directions about the footman's carrying a message

the childer children: the nursery maid about the
coachman's cleaning the coach: nor the coachman
about the f cook's dressing the dinner: much less

of all those businesses are jumbled together, and
having so done, put it up on a shelf with other
books, upon the chance in confidence that [the housemaid when
she comes to dust the books [may lay her hands on
it.] may find it out and shew it to the rest.] somebody
or other may come to look for it. But were com it
even common for mistresses of families to be thus in-
