APPENDIX. 8f 



ranging every article under its proper head ; the charge 

 of which fhould be given to one perfbn only, who 

 fliould be of a fharp retentive turn. Every fet of arti- 

 cles fhould be numbered ; for example, wheel-barrows 

 No, i, 2, 3, &c., and fo on with all other articles. 

 This will enable the perfon, who is in charge, to keep 

 a regular account. Next, let that perfon charge the ar- 

 ticles to thofe, who may occupy them ; not the real va- 

 lue, but the double of it, or, at leaft, confiderably 

 above the value. This charge fhould remain in force, 

 till the articles are returned, whether broken or not. 

 Wear and tear upon all articles cannot be avoided, nor 

 is it fair to charge fuch to the labourer's account ; in 

 fome inftances, however, according to contract, it is 

 common and fair that tafkers fhould return articles in 

 the fame order, in which they got them. 



There fhould be, of all kinds of tools and imple- 

 ments about a demefne or place, fome fpare ones in 

 readinefs, in order to fupply the place of fuch as may 

 chance to be loft or broken. Such need not be num- 

 bered, becaufe they only fland as fubftitutes, in cafe a 

 repair only be necefTary for the abfent article ; but, if 

 that article be loft, the fubftitute fhould be numbered 

 agreeably to the number of the former. Thus re- 

 gularity will be always kept up, and labourers and 

 tafkers will meet with no interruption in the progrefs 

 of their works.
