ciple as guided the Earl of EcREMontT in his apreement with the Coultershaw muller? Where there is water, a water-mill; where none, a wind- mill: where parishes are large, by a single pa- rish: where small, three or four uniting; and the union to depend on population. In village districts, the parishes to deliver corn by weight to the miller, and the baker to sell bread propor- tionably to the price of corn. There do not appear to be any insuperable difficulties in such a plan, which, if made coercive, would have great effets; but as to leaving it voluntary, it would then be worth neither experiment, detail, nor perseverance to produce. I do not compre- hend the system of employing wisdom, talents, and persevering industry to frame laws, and then leave their acceptance to ignorance, stupidity and negligence: intended for the benefit of one class, distressed by prices; and to be rejected by ano- ther, to whom those prices are so much profit.
