secondly, the poorer tenants will have something valuable
of their own, which by law may be made liable to distress,
and 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 two years old, and upward, cannot be
computed at less than ten shillings a piece per annum, the
nation's stock will be thereby increased fifty thousand
pounds per annum, beside the profit of a new dish,
introduced to the tables of all gentlemen of fortune in the
kingdom, who have any refinement in taste. and the money
will circulate among ourselves, the goods being entirely of
our own growth and manufacture.
fourthly, the constant breeders, beside the gain of eight
shillings sterling per annum by the sale of their children,
will be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first
year.
