20
inferior to what they are in Prussia. (a)
Note
A (a) Boy of my Brother's who
before he had a month at nail-making got flogged t'other day
for making a knife. Not that at Crechoff there is any law against
ingenuity. but there is against stealing. and stealing time.
Yet
not having the mantle of legislation to screen me from te ridicule
of going beyond my last, I forbear to specify even what I have under
my eye, knowing that in Mr Arthur Young, a gentleman whom no one
can accuse of hiding his candle under a bushel, any body that
it might find an informant, who on this, as well as on so many
other important subjects, for every grain of information I could give
could give one thousand.
But, without any disparagement to that gentleman,
for whose public-spirited labour, and well-directed talents, no man
can feel a greater regard than I do, there are other persons who, on
these same subjects, could for such a purpose, give still more and
better information than he, and would not be less communicative
I mean as before Mr Daily Advertiser and his brethren.
