From November 4, 1841, to May 30, 1842, the rates levied were 6s. in the pound, realising the amount of 19,144l.
In consideration of these articles to be sold, I took, for the present necessities of the Orphans, 2l. 10s. of the money which had been put by for the rent, to be replaced when these articles could be sold at a suitable opportunity. Thus we were helped to the close of one more week. Nov. 19. Today we were again in great need. There had come in only 7s. 6d. for needle-work.
A man of substance in Tralee gave me some startling facts as to the local administration here. In Tralee Union, he said, there were in 1879 eighty-seven persons receiving outdoor relief, at a cost to the Union of £30, 17s. 11d., being an average per head of 7s. 1d., and 1879 was a very bad year, the worst since the great famine year, 1847.
So I got a coach, and a humour took us, and I carried them to Hercules Pillars, and there did give them a kind of a supper of about 7s., and very merry, and home round the town, not through the ruines; and it was pretty how the coachman by mistake drives us into the ruines from London-wall into Coleman Street: and would persuade me that I lived there.
For making a ditch about the house where the said hay was put, 1s. 8d. For putting and piling up one rick of hay in the house, 1s. 8d. Wages of two turf-cutters, seven days, at 5d. per day, 5s. 10d. For the carriage of turves to cover the king's kitchen, 7s. 6d. For twenty-two empty casks, bought to make paling for the queen's court yard, 18s. 4d.
The artificers, having wrought seven and a half hours of extra time to-day, had 3s. 9d. of extra pay, while the foremen had 7s. 6d. over and above their stated pay and board. Although, therefore, the work was both hazardous and fatiguing, yet, the encouragement being considerable, they were always very cheerful, and perfectly reconciled to the confinement and other disadvantages of the place.

All we desire is to let English readers know how very lucid, impressive, and, indeed, how vivid a study of Isaiah is within their reach.... We will give an example of both aspects of this most fascinating book. Spectator. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d. 'It is needless to mention the literary merits which in reviews of the first volume of this work were so abundantly recognised.
Our Australian colonies, where unskilled labor can earn 7s. 6d. a day, and live for a trifle, are, indeed, a paradise for the mere wage-earner, who can scarcely help becoming also a wage-saver; but America is the country which, with wage conditions such as I have attempted to portray, still offers the best possible opportunities of success, and even of great careers, to clever working men, and especially to clever mechanics.
