dred miles contradicts fo far the general 

 tenor of the table. Cheefe, near the ca- 

 pital, is doable the price it is at a diftance 

 from it; but this circumftance requires 

 fome explanation. Scarce any cheefe is 

 made around London It anfwers fo much 

 better to make butter, and to fuckle, that 

 the quantity of cheefe made is very tri- 

 fling ; the cheefe of the weftern counties 

 is to be had through all England nearly 

 as cheap as at London; but the poor do not 

 eat it as their brethren do around London: 

 They confume only their own country 

 cheefe, of a much poorer fort. 



The variations in the prices of butcher's 

 meat are fo regular; the fall fo unbroken, 

 in proportion to the diftance from the ca- 

 pital, that one cannot but attribute it to 

 the diftance. The fall of price is regular, 

 even in circumitances that one would ap- 

 prehend fufficient totally to deitroy it. The 

 populous manufacturing counties of Lin- 

 cajiery and the Weft Riding of Yorkjhire, 

 I expected to find as dear as London ; bdt, 

 on the contrary, the fall of price is regular 

 throughout them. If this regularity of 

 variation is not owing to the diltance from 

 London, I know not to what to attribute it; 

 nor can any other fatisfactory account be 

 given for it.
