8 Answer to Ford Panopticon

the above facts to be established . But for this
purpose he does not very well see how , in justice
to his Representatives , he could avoid calling upon
the persons in question to admit them or deny them
(a troublesome and unpleasant business on both sides)
nor would it be a pleasant situation for him to
have to leave his Representatives with a burthen
of such a weight hanging over their heads.

Mr Ford will easily conceive , that the Building,
though a considerable part , is nothing nigh the
whole of the expence at coming in . Fitting up &
furnishing , especially the apartments of the Officers,
Clerks, &c, who will be very numerous , stocking the
Manufactories and the Hospital, Cloathing (an article
which must come heavy at first before there are
old cloaths to serve for working) All this , besides
a new invented system of machinery , which, though
not half compleated for such a number , has already
cost several thousand pounds . So far therefore from
having been understood that the £15,000 was all of it
for the building , it is not true, nor any thing like
true . Mr Campbel's charge , as appears from the
Reports of the House of Commons , was at the
rate of £30,000 instead of the £27,000 and that
for several years together .
