of the country in which he purpofes to

 pay per day, of the different feafons, muft 

 not only be taken, but alfo the price of 

 fuch work, as is ufually done by the piece. 

 A country may be very dear in day-work, 

 but moderate in that done by the piece; 

 the average, or balance, muft in this cafe 

 be taken, which, though not to be done 

 with minute accuracy, yet an idea tolerably 

 clear may be gained of the truth, which 

 is infinitely better than leaving it in the 

 dark, and to chance. 



Suppofe the average earnings of a 

 labourer is found to be I s. 2 d. a-day, the 

 year round, piece-work included, upon any 

 given farm, which being left by a man 

 who moves to another, he takes a frem 

 account of labour, and finds the fame ave- 

 rage I s. $ d. a-day. We will fuppofe 

 him to employ ten labourers, the difference 

 of this 3 d. a-day will then amount to 45 /
