such as persons of all classes would will in the way of amusement
be curious to partake of: and that not only on
Sundays at the time of Divine Service, but on ordinary
days at the meal times or times of work: — providing
thereby a system of inspection, universal, free, and useable as
gratuitous, the most effectual and permanent of all
securities against abuse.
For any one who should be apprehensive of
seeing their condition of convicts made too desirable, I have only
this answer — Art lies in meliorating man's lot:
any bungler may make it worse. At any rate what
you take from security you might may add to duration.
You see the use of a rent, and that a high one,
payable by me, for a building not yet erected, but under my
direction, to be erected. The interest of the public is thus compleatly
mine. Every penny spent beyond necessity lays a tax
upon me.
