by J.B to L.J.
Bur. at Lon.F.R.S
of Ox.A: NI. . Gov.
of Penity House.
[+] In our experience
where is the hardship
in not being able to
mill with the Chbordsmith
or ?
To Queen
Elizabeth where was
the hardship of liv
without Turtle.
To William the
Conqueror where was
the hardship of not having
no such thing to
as a silk stocking
to put on? - to Henry 8th
the leaving no such
thing as a Couch
for the repose of his unwieldy
carcase?

Expence of a
constant Supply
of the necessaire
physique gives
the maximum of
frugality in each
country: of such
frugality as is consistent
with humanity
Reference to Smith
to show how much
this is below the
common rule ofexpence
of inin the lowest
class in England
Hardship in case
of reduction results
from habit and
expectation
Begin with a
habit of the greatest
frugality consistent
with humanity,
there is no
hardship in it.
Enjoyment inseparable
from the
gratification of
natural appetites
- not dependent at
all upon the quality -
still less upon the
costliness
Examples of simple
& uncostly
modes of living -
Henderton - China &c
---page break---
Frugality in
alliance with humanity
in presenting
the use
of fermented liquors,
the great
enemies to health
Converting exercise
to profit, another
great source of
saving: to be amusing,
to increase
every purpose of
play it is not necessary
an exercise
should be unproductive
Objection - it ceases
to be an amusement
if made a duty -
Answer - an individual
occupation
will need be made a duty
on account of the
choice allowed amongst
many
Exercise of the body
- exercise of the
mind - sleep -
there need be no other
modes of being.
Scarce any not
one of these same
sources of economy
it may be said but
what you resorted
to in the instance
of your delinquent
prisoners. Is the
treatment you mean
to offer to criminals
and to your adoptive
children then the
same? - Yes and
no - Yes the great
difference in appearance:
an immense difference in effect
---page break---
This mode of
management
not practiced impracticable in
ordinary schools -
why
Habits contracted
at home can not
be thwarted without
producing suffering
- nor without producing
ill will
and discontent -
- an enemy to
instruction - This
an insuperable
obstacle.
The place of
instruction partend in schools
took its origin was framed in
times when there
were not so many
useful things to
learn as now.
The branches of
knowledge latest
acquired would
naturally be latest
learnt taught - acquired
at a later
period of the existence
of this species
they would be taught
at a later period
of the existence of
the individual.
They How would
they be so generally
taught as points
of knowledge of
Schr Dale.
Difference is effect

Motives necessary in every case - But here humanity joins with prudence in dictating reward instead of punishment. Not subsequent fasting as a punishment for not working - but withholding of food all the ???? is done. The gratification of appetite is thus rendered the constant regulator reward of delinquence. This it like working ??? work in comparison of day-work. Yorkshire & other Schools have come into the parsimonious branch of economy, and pursued it to a considerable length. But they have not adopted the productive branch. — [+] In the prison To criminals whherein I have already as any care the privation or constraint imposed by these economical arrangements would in most instances be a punishment? Why? because the for regulation finds more set against it by a long course of contrary habits & inclinations.
