including so many comparatively petty Towns and
even Villages — even for the period of greatest
abundance: — and yet at a period of inferior
abundance we find £200,000 the quantity
spent by a single Town in a town of inferior
rank — Newcastle! How small
may be the quantity of it in office in the inclusion
in which it is , it seems impossible to
say: — no more than a few thousands, possibly,
— or even hundreds : — — in that case a few such
instances as Newcastle and many there can
hardly be — would go but a small way towards
making up the deficiency of the Towns of the smaller and
more numerous classes to such a degree as to
give any such average as £60,00 the Bristol
complement of £60,000, upon the whole.
