ger; a contriver: 
He, foon aware, 
Each perturbation fmooth’d with outwavd calm, 
Artificer of fraud! and was the firft 
That practis’d falfehood under faintly (hew. Milton. 
The Roman artificers had their peculiar temples, where 
they affembled and chofe their own patron to defend their 
caufes: they were exempted from all perfonal fervices, 
and were incorporated into divers colleges or companies, 
each of which had their tutelar gods, to whom they of¬ 
fered their worlhip. Several of thefe, when they quitted 
their profeflion, hung up their tools, a votive offering to 
their gods. Much of the artificers bulinefs, however, was 
done by (laves and foreigners, who left little for the Ro¬ 
mans to mind but their hufbandry and war. By means of 
the arts, the minds of men are engaged in inventions be¬ 
neficial to the whole community ; and thus prove the grand 
prefervative againft the barbarifm and brutality, which 
ever attend on an indolent and inactive way of life. 
In the law relative to artificers, labourers, &c. there are 
feveral ftatutes for rating of wages in almolt every kind of 
work, and penalties injoiried againft taking or giving more 
than the wages fo rated. But this hath been leldom put 
in practice. And indeed there are great objections. For 
befides that this rating puts good and bad workmen upon 
a level, and thereby deltroys emulation; the eafinefs or 
ART 
difficulty of the fame kind of work in different circutn- 
ftances renders a certain limited fum very inadequate, 
Difputes about wages, and almolt all other kinds of dif¬ 
ferences between mailers and workmen in the feveral kinds 
of labour and manufacture, are determinable in a fum- 
mary way by jultices of the peace. All artificers and la¬ 
bourers, hired at a certain price, (hall, between the mid¬ 
dle of March and the middle of September, continue at 
work from five in the morning till feven at night; except 
half an hour for breakfaft, an hour for dinner, and half 
an hour for drinking: and, between the middle of May 
and middle of Augult, half an hour for deep. Between 
the middle of September and the middle of March they 
fhall continue at work from the fpring of day until night, 
except half an hour for breakfaft and an hour for dinner. 
5 Eliz. c. 4. In the time of hay or corn harvelt, the juf- 
tices of the peace, and alio the conftables, may caule all
