your county or any adjacent ones contains, Hounslow Heath, Epping
Forrest, or any other Heath or Forest that the Crown His Majesty has already in
His its possession, would answer every plea he could put in: and out of that
he would crib gardens, and farm yards, and I know not what besides. As to
Running water, it is indeed is to every purpose a very agreable circumstance, and under
the ordinary Jail regimen a very desirable, possibly an essential one.
But many of the Lords and Commons make shift without it, even at
their Villas: their villas, and almost all when not at their villas, without ascribing any want of health they may labour
under to the want of running water. As to my Contractors boarders,
they must have water, indeed, because every body must have water:
But, under the provision I have made for turning the operations of
cleanliness into motions of course, I should apprehend, their condition
might still be tolerable, though they should have no other running
stock of that necessary element than what falls to the share of better
men.
When the ground thus dearly wrung from the grasp of Luxury
came to be covered, think what another source of expence was to
be opened, when, over and above nine hundred roomy chambers, for so
many person to lie in, three other different classes of apartments were
to be provided, to I know not what number nor extent, for them to
work in, to pray in and to suffer in: four operations the scenes of which are upon our
plan the scenes are consolidated into one.
