employ twenty men. . . How are those men, …thrown out of employ to provide for
their families;—… Some say, Begin and learn some other business.—Suppose we do;
who will maintain our families, whilst we undertake the arduous task; and when
we have learned it, how do we know we shall be any better for all of our pains;
for by the time we have served our second apprenticeship, another machine may arise,
which may take away that business also . . .
