1Therefore I repeat, let no man talk to me of these and the like expedients, till he hath at least some glympse of hope,
2that there will ever be some hearty and sincere attempt to put them into practice. But, as to myself, having been
3wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success, I
4fortunately fell upon this proposal, which, as it is wholly new, so it hath something solid and real, of no expence and
5little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England. For this kind of
6commodity will not bear exportation, and flesh being of too tender a consistence, to admit a long continuance in salt,
7although perhaps I could name a country, which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it. After all, I am not
8so violently bent upon my own opinion, as to reject any offer, proposed by wise men, which shall be found equally
9innocent, cheap, easy, and effectual. But before something of that kind shall be advanced in contradiction to my scheme,
10and offering a better, I desire the author or authors will be pleased maturely to consider two points. First, As things
11now stand, how they will be able to find food and raiment for a hundred thousand useless mouths and backs. And secondly,
12There being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a
13common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, adding those who are beggars by profession, to
14the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; I desire those
15politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the
16parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a
17year old, in the manner I prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as they have since
18gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of
19common sustenance, with neither house nor clothes to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most
20inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. I profess in the sincerity of
21my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other
22motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and
23giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children, by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being
24nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.
