This table is not, upon the whole, abfo- 

 lutely decifive of the influence of the capital 

 on the prices of labour : The fall, propor- 

 tioned to diftance, being broken in the mid- 

 d le ; fifty miles round London is not fo dear 

 a circle as one hundred to two hundred ; 

 from fifty to one hundred is much cheaper, 

 and upwarcfs of three hundred vaftly lower 

 ftfllj but from one hundred to three hun- 

 dred the price is equal to the London ones, 

 and the occafion is what I can by no means 

 conjecture. Within thofe diflances are in- 

 cluded part of two counties remarkably full 

 of manufactures ; but many reafons will 

 hereafter prove that this is a circumftance 

 totally without effect. 



But before I proceed with thefe obferva- 

 tions, we mufr. take a fimilar view of other 

 fpecies of labour, the wages of fervants and 

 women : And as to the prices of their eat- 

 ing and drink, I mall reckon every article 

 two thirds that of the men.
