‘The attendance upon the funerals of members is a token 
of refpet, which has the good effect of alluring many to 
become fubfcribers; but the taking one man from a fet, in 
a bufy time, often throws a farmer back in his work, to the 
eventual lofs of many pounds. Iam the move fenfible of 
this, by employing the parifh clerk, whom none of the far- 
mers will employ, becaufe he has been fo rafh as to fave a little 
money to keep bim from the pari/h.* 
In page 240, you recommend “ employing in preference.” 
Does not this lead to leaving vicious men unemployed? 
And is not that the fureft fource of evil? 
In page 246, you recommend little publick breweries of 
fmall beer: are there not fome difficulties about the duty? 
And would not adulteration creep into a brewery of that for 
fale in proportion, as it is thought to do in ftrong? 
A brazier in this town lets his neighbours ufe his brew- 
ing veflels for leaving the grains: this enables many to brew 
who could not purchafe veffels, and you may truft them for 
getting all the good they can out of the malt, which by the 
by is fo little underftood, as to leave room for a premium 
from the fociety. 
Sir, your obedient fervant, 
MORDAUNT MARTIN. 
Burnham, Norfolk, Auguf? 14, 1793. 
* May not their reluctance to employing him, arife in fome de- 
gree from the inconvenience of Sir Mordaunt complains of—his 
being frequently liable to be called from his labour ?
