A81611	Postscript to husbandry anatomiz'd or, an addition to the enquiry in to the present manner of ordering, dressing, and manuring the ground in Scotland for most part; whereby it is further explained and applyed, and several good effects that may follow thereupon hinted at. By the author of the first.	Donaldson, James, fl. 1697-1713.	1698 (1698)	Wing D1855; ESTC R229803	15,461	50

buyer_n will_v not_o bestow_v a_o price_n upon_o good_a ware_n and_o that_o only_o because_o it_o be_v our_o own_o home_n ward_n make_v another_o cause_n why_o our_o mechanic_n be_v not_o so_o dexterous_a as_o perhaps_o other_o be_v be_v they_o abide_v not_o close_o at_o one_o kind_n of_o work_n but_o from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v so_o expert_a in_o several_a thing_n as_o they_o may_v and_o undoubted_o will_v be_v in_o one_o thing_n but_o in_o may_v other_o place_n mechanic_n abide_v close_o at_o one_o sort_n of_o work_n so_o that_o they_o become_v not_o only_o expert_a as_o to_o the_o make_n of_o the_o work_n good_a but_o also_o a_o far_o great_a quantity_n of_o it_o i_o remember_v i_o hear_v a_o nailer_n that_o be_v a_o nail-maker_n tell_v he_o know_v a_o man_n that_o be_v accustom_v to_o work_v in_o nothing_o but_o sparrowbill_n a_o sort_n of_o short_a nail_n want_v head_n he_o use_v to_o make_v a_o very_a considerable_a number_n of_o they_o he_o say_v to_o the_o number_n of_o 7_o or_o 8_o thousand_o a_o day_n and_o yet_o if_o he_o have_v be_v set_v to_o make_v common_a nail_n he_o neither_o can_v make_v they_o good_a or_o any_o considerable_a number_n of_o they_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o a_o man_n abide_v still_o at_o one_o kind_n of_o work_n may_v both_o attain_v to_o a_o great_a dexterity_n in_o make_v of_o it_o fine_a and_o do_v much_o more_o of_o it_o than_o another_o that_o from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o be_v continual_o turn_v but_o say_v some_o we_o have_v have_v mechanic_n from_o abroad_o and_o we_o have_v try_v to_o make_v several_a thing_n and_o particular_o hat_n and_o broad_a cloth_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v make_v our_o ware_n so_o good_a as_o what_o we_o can_v have_v from_o abroad_o who_o know_v whether_o these_o foreigner_n be_v the_o most_o expert_a of_o their_o employment_n in_o these_o place_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v or_o perhaps_o they_o may_v be_v subborn_v to_o conceal_v the_o art_n of_o their_o call_v or_o perhaps_o their_o master_n find_v it_o not_o for_o their_o advantage_n to_o bestow_v the_o expense_n that_o be_v require_v in_o make_v the_o fine_a ware_n because_o we_o have_v suck_v in_o that_o tenet_n it_o can_v be_v fine_a enough_o if_o it_o be_v our_o own_o homeward_o make_v moreover_o though_o there_o be_v some_o few_o skill_v in_o these_o employment_n to_o direct_v yet_o they_o can_v do_v all_o the_o work_n with_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o till_o these_o that_o assist_v they_o come_v to_o some_o measure_n of_o dexterity_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v their_o ware_n can_v be_v so_o good_a as_o otherwise_o it_o may_v be_v these_o that_o will_v propogat_n any_o new_a manufacture_n must_v lay_v their_o account_n to_o labour_v under_o several_a disadvantage_n at_o first_o for_o instance_n when_o soap_n manufacture_n be_v first_o set_v up_o in_o this_o kingdom_n their_o soap_n be_v not_o so_o good_a as_o what_o we_o have_v from_o abroad_o by_o far_o these_o at_o glasgow_n give_v it_o over_o as_o a_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o accomplish_v these_o at_o leith_n continue_v to_o work_v on_o and_o now_o have_v

therefore_o i_o refer_v that_o work_n to_o another_o place_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o shall_v answer_v some_o few_o which_o i_o judge_v may_v be_v most_o material_a perhaps_o it_o may_v demand_v what_o kind_n of_o manufacture_n can_v be_v propagate_v in_o this_o kingdom_n to_o which_o i_o say_v all_o sort_n whatsoever_o for_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o that_o can_v not_o be_v

of_o the_o thing_n we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o aught_o to_o be_v make_v or_o compose_v we_o may_v get_v these_o thing_n unprepared_a much_o cheap_a than_o the_o make_v work_n we_o have_v two_o
