XXII Improved Prisons the loss to this scantling, such exertions and such
talents as it would be presumptuous to count
upon in any future instance : [+] [+] at any rate in the general run of instances . Had equal
talents with equal exertions belv been employed
upon a larger scale, instead of speeches , the National

weighed quite so heavy as it does. Such has been
the effect of "improved prisons" under Blackburn

I was in treaty with him for Ireland.
Sir (says he) if if I work this thing for your, ordinary
per centage will not pay me: let
there be one building upon this principle, there
will be an end of mine. The exact substance,
my Lord; most exactly: almost the very words. The man was an
artful man: — but this came out from him unawares.
He was a great professor of economy: but
his economy consisted in doing useless things at
a cheap rate. — ( ) ( ) Note about Adam spoiling the plan. - the cheapness the more of its not being adoptd by Architects isfraud.

nature of things be changed: It is a position I
have had occasion to make good elsewhere * * Young's Annals Papers intituled Pauper-management improved, in Young's AnnalsAo 1797 : Chap. III. Buildings and Ground., that
coeteris paribus the neat productiveness of any
branch of profit-seeking industry will be as the
largeness of the scale on which it is conducted .
