In Clifford’s-paffage, Clare-market, Thomas 
Pett, a noted mifer. He was a native of 
Warwickthire; and at the age of ten years, 
came to London with a felitary fhitling 
in his pocket. As he had neither friends nor 
relations in the capital, he was indebted to 
the humanity of an old woman that fold pies 
for a morfel of bread, till he could procure 
himielf a living. In the courfe of a few 
days he was engaged as an errand boy by a 
tallow-chandler, His miftrefs, a lady of © 
London mould, however, could not reconcile 
herfelf to his ruftic manners andawkward 
gait, fo fhe difmiffed him one cold winter’s - 
evening with this obfervation, ** Your maf- 
ter hired you in my abfence, and I'll pack 
you off in his.2”. The good hufband, bow- 
ever, did not defert Tom. He found him 
out, and bound him apprentice to a butcher in 
the borough of Southwark. He behaved fo. 
well during his apprenticefhip, that his maf~ 
ter recommended him when he was out of 
his time toa brother of the cleaver in Clare- 
market, as a journeyman. ‘Tom’s maxim 
was, that honefty was not the fhorteft road 
to wealth, but that it was the fureft. For 
the firft five years he was engaged at twenty 
five pounds a year, meat and drink. The ace 
cumulation of money and the abridgment of 
expence were the two fole obje&s of his 
thoughts. His expences were reduced to 
thefe three heads: lodging, cloathing, and 
wafhing. As to the firft he fixed on a back 
room on the fecond fsor, with one window 
that occafionaily admitted a ftraggling fun- 
beam, As to drefs, every atticle was fecond 
hand; nor was he choice in the colour or 
quality, jocofeiy obferving, when he was ri- 
dicuied on his garb, that, according to Solo- 
mon, there was nothing new under the Sun; 
and that as te colour, it was a mere matter 
of fancy} and that that ‘was the beft which 
tuck longeft to its integrity. Then,as to 
wathing, he ufed to fay that a man did not 
deferve a fhirt that would not wafh it hime 
felf; and that the only fault he found in 
Lord North was the duty he impofedon foap. 
There was one expence, however, that lay 
heavy on his mind, and always robbed him of 
anight’s fleep, aud that’ was fhaving. He 
often lamen‘ed that he had net learned to 
fhave himfelf; he ufed to cenfole himfelf, 
however, by hoping that beards would one 
day be in fathion, and that -even the Bond~
