章节摘录

　　Secondly， The poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own，which by law may be made liable to distress and help to pay their landlord's rent，their corn and cattle being already seized， and money a thing unknown. Thirdly， Whereas the maintenance of an hundred thousand children， from twoyears old and upward， cannot be computed at less than ten shillings a-piece perannum， the nation's stock will be thereby increased fifty thousand pounds perannum， beside the profit of a new dish introduced to the tables of all gentlemen offortune in the kingdom who have any refinement in taste. And the money willcirculate among ourselves， the goods being entirely of our own growth andmanufacture. Fourthly， The constant breeders， beside the gain of eight shillings sterling perannum by the sale of their children， will be rid of the charge of maintaining themafter the first year. Fifthly， This food would likewise bring great custom to taverns； where thevintners will certainly be so prudent as to procure the best receipts for dressing it toperfection，and consequently have their houses frequented by all the finegentlemen， who justly value themselves upon their knowledge in good eating: anda skilful cook， who understands how to oblige his guests， will contrive to make itas expensive as they please.　　……
