USES TO WHICH [Chap 



means, only to try this flour in the making of 

 custards. At present, indeed, they cannot get 

 the flour ; for, even Mr. Sapsford, baker, cor- 

 ner of Queen Ann and Wimpole-streets, Mary- 

 le-bone, who has been the first to have the corn 

 ground to make bread and for sale as flour, can, 

 as yet, have very little to dispose of; seeing that 

 there are no samples at ]\lark-lane, worth speak- 

 ing of, and those very bad, coming from Sicily, 

 and other parts of the Mediterranean ; and 

 poorly ripened corn,- perhaps, into the bargain. 

 But, when the Americans find that the people 

 of England are disposed to use corn-flour, and 

 ■when the millers in England, have found out the 

 way to grind it for that purpose, they will soon 

 pour in the fine and sound corn, notwithstanding 

 the duty ; and we shall buy it and eat it, not- 

 withstanding that duty. In the mean while the 

 Canadians can send it in at all times, nearly 

 duty free, as I have before observed. So that, 

 this discovery would be a terrible blow on the 

 landowners, supposing tlie farmers to join in one 

 body, and bind themselves by a curse, never to 

 cultivate this plant.

 or something equal in nutriment to bread, is the 

 desirable thing to obtain, on account of the vari- 

 ous contingencies before mentioned, which must 

 always aff'ect more or less, the making of bread.
