In
a
few
days
we
came
back
to
town
;
and
his
excellency
,
considering
the
bad
character
he
had
in
the
academy
,
would
not
go
with
me
himself
,
but
recommended
me
to
a
friend
of
his
,
to
bear
me
company
thither
My
lord
was
pleased
to
represent
me
as
a
great
admirer
of
projects
,
and
a
person
of
much
curiosity
and
easy
belief
;
which
,
indeed
,
was
not
without
truth
;
for
I
had
myself
been
a
sort
of
projector
in
my
younger
days
.
This
academy
is
not
an
entire
single
building
,
but
a
continuation
of
several
houses
on
both
sides
of
a
street
,
which
growing
waste
,
was
purchased
and
applied
to
that
use
.
I
was
received
very
kindly
by
the
warden
,
and
went
for
many
days
to
the
academy
.
Every
room
has
in
it
one
or
more
projectors
;
and
I
believe
I
could
not
be
in
fewer
than
five
hundred
rooms
.
The
first
man
I
saw
was
of
a
meagre
aspect
,
with
sooty
hands
and
face
,
his
hair
and
beard
long
,
ragged
,
and
singed
in
several
places
.
His
clothes
,
shirt
,
and
skin
,
were
all
of
the
same
colour
.
He
has
been
eight
years
upon
a
project
for
extracting
sunbeams
out
of
cucumbers
,
which
were
to
be
put
in
phials
hermetically
sealed
,
and
let
out
to
warm
the
air
in
raw
inclement
summers
.
He
told
me
,
he
did
not
doubt
,
that
,
in
eight
years
more
,
he
should
be
able
to
supply
the
governor
's
gardens
with
sunshine
,
at
a
reasonable
rate
:
but
he
complained
that
his
stock
was
low
,
and
entreated
me
"
to
give
him
something
as
an
encouragement
to
ingenuity
,
especially
since
this
had
been
a
very
dear
season
for
cucumbers
.
"
I
made
him
a
small
present
,
for
my
lord
had
furnished
me
with
money
on
purpose
,
because
he
knew
their
practice
of
begging
from
all
who
go
to
see
them
.
I
went
into
another
chamber
,
but
was
ready
to
hasten
back
,
being
almost
overcome
with
a
horrible
stink
.
My
conductor
pressed
me
forward
,
conjuring
me
in
a
whisper
"
to
give
no
offence
,
which
would
be
highly
resented
;
"
and
therefore
I
durst
not
so
much
as
stop
my
nose
.
The
projector
of
this
cell
was
the
most
ancient
student
of
the
academy
;
his
face
and
beard
were
of
a
pale
yellow
;
his
hands
and
clothes
daubed
over
with
filth
.
When
I
was
presented
to
him
,
he
gave
me
a
close
embrace
,
a
compliment
I
could
well
have
excused
.
His
employment
,
from
his
first
coming
into
the
academy
,
was
an
operation
to
reduce
human
excrement
to
its
original
food
,
by
separating
the
several
parts
,
removing
the
tincture
which
it
receives
from
the
gall
,
making
the
odour
exhale
,
and
scumming
off
the
saliva
.
He
had
a
weekly
allowance
,
from
the
society
,
of
a
vessel
filled
with
human
ordure
,
about
the
bigness
of
a
Bristol
barrel
.
I
saw
another
at
work
to
calcine
ice
into
gunpowder
;
who
likewise
showed
me
a
treatise
he
had
written
concerning
the
malleability
of
fire
,
which
he
intended
to
publish
.
There
was
a
most
ingenious
architect
,
who
had
contrived
a
new
method
for
building
houses
,
by
beginning
at
the
roof
,
and
working
downward
to
the
foundation
;
which
he
justified
to
me
,
by
the
like
practice
of
those
two
prudent
insects
,
the
bee
and
the
spider
.
There
was
a
man
born
blind
,
who
had
several
apprentices
in
his
own
condition
:
their
employment
was
to
mix
colours
for
painters
,
which
their
master
taught
them
to
distinguish
by
feeling
and
smelling
.
It
was
indeed
my
misfortune
to
find
them
at
that
time
not
very
perfect
in
their
lessons
,
and
the
professor
himself
happened
to
be
generally
mistaken
.
This
artist
is
much
encouraged
and
esteemed
by
the
whole
fraternity
.
