and Penitentiary Houses upon do are so identical
in principle, that (even without adverting to the
vicinity between the first and the second floors of
the same edifice) a man may without much
apprehension of error venture to state them as
coming out of the same shop. —
Up Upon the principles I have thus ventured

receptacles for petty offenders, the improved hands
have to learn the business in, and afford a
compensation, for the time and materials consumed

which results from the difference between the
wages of labour, as compared with the expence of
maintenance, here uand in America, I should not

neither finish nor commencement, nor any thing
but estimate. — expect
