Josiah Franklin had as poor an opinion of the lap as an educator of his sons, in comparison with conversation, as Cornelia had. The poet Cowper wrote: "Though conversation in its better part May be esteemed a gift, and not an art; Yet much depends, as in the tiller's toil, On culture and the sowing of the soil." Josiah Franklin was enough of a poet to understand this and reduce it to practice.
Buzzby intimated her wish, pretty strongly, that the neighbours should vacate the premises, which they did laughingly, pronouncing Buzzby to be "a trump," and his better half "a true blue." "Good day, old chap," said the last who made his exit; "tiller's fixed agin nailed amid-ships, eh?"
This alien was empowered, and by the force of public opinion incited, to exact the greatest possible share of the tiller's produce, and, as we saw, he was entitled to the whole benefit of whatever improvements the tiller of the soil had made; and could and constantly did expel the cultivator who was unable or unwilling to pay a higher tax, as the penalty for improving the land.
