Proposal } Brouillon - July 27 1794
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 luck is
done. The gratification
of appetite
is thus rendered
the the constant & regular reward of delinquence.
This it like working
tack 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 the criminals
wherein 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.
Equipment for
the learned professions
not incompatible
with this
frugal plan - why
What makes such
education expensive
is in not being in
use to be bestowed but
upon the children of
prisoners of a nature
degree of opulence.
As the provision
i
t leads to is so much
greater more lucrative than that which
is to be had if obtained
from inferior labour
of an inferior kind
many of the opulent flock
to it: viz: those who
can afford to pay a
good price for instruction
This will tend to
keep out the less opulent,
is not being
able to afford the expence
of keeping up
with the more opulent
The stock required
for these pursuits
requires much more
money than can be
thus bestowed by the
inferior classes - instruments,
books &c.
—
In the Pedotrophum
in previous enjoyment
as prevention: no expectation
as disappointment.

Advantages of interested management over uniterested - especially in the hands of men whose minds are impregnated with notions derived from luxurious mode of living. AN establishment that depended upon the persevering zeal and covered of multitudes, especially the multitudes so composed stands upon a precarious tottering basis. Advantages of a Paedotrophic ???ptic establishment over a Ptochothreptic trop The candidate for Prochotrophic clearly have their habits, already ahich can formed not without the production of suffering be thwarted Besides that they contain a number of individuals rendered unserviceable by more or less unproductive by accidental inferiority or old age
