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
debt I am inclined to think would not have
weighed quite so heavy as it does . Such has been
the effect of "improved prisons" under Blackburn
architecture .
I knew the man, my Lord. Raw in business , fame sent me to him for instruction :
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 is fraud .
Neither by talents nor by exertions can the
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 .
