Such is the nature of this excellent system, the details ofwhich Mr Harley would communicate to the public, if he wereto receive that public remuneration to which he considers himselfjustly entitled.
After much study, labour and expense, the establishment isnow brought to such a state of perfection, that it receives thecordial approbation of all who have seen it, furnishing the com-munity with genuine milk at comparatively a low price. It isadmitted, that the greater part of the system is original, and isDot to be met with in any other part of the kingdom.
If the scheme yields, on the whole, a fair profit, it may be saidthat is a sufficient reward; but to this it may be answered, that theestablishment has cost the person who undertook it a great deal oftrouble and extra expense, which would be saved to any other indi-vidual who might now adopt his improvements. Indeed, if a plan,and a minute description of the system, were given, it could ea-sily be adopted, to much advantage, in every town in the king-dom. The great savings that would thence arise to the proprie-tors of cattle, would be clearly demonstrated : but the benefitwhich the community at large would derive from this system, is.of much greater importance. Milk being the natural alimentfor children, it can hardly be questioned, that many lives are.annually lost to the nation for want of that most nourishing diet;and if London , and the other large towns in the kingdom, couldhe supplied with milk genuine from the cow, as the citizens AGlasgow now arc, the advantages would be incalculable.
