Upon thefe averages it is in general to be 

 obferved, that all the prices are mod rate. 

 Bread at id U per lb. wheaten, ifc well 

 as other forts, is as reafonab - as anyone 

 can defire it. Butter at d. is higher, I 

 think, than bread, but cannot, noon the 

 whole, be thought extravagant. All forts 

 of butcher's meat at 3 d. is middling ; it 

 is not very dear, nor is it very cheap ; 

 but it certainly calls for no fuch clamour as 

 we have lately heard through th ; kingdom, 

 on account of its being fo high : It was 

 plainly fuppofitious. 



We mutt, in the next place, examine 

 thefe prices in compariion with the diftance 

 from the capital.
