How absolutely unnecessary this great mortality is may be shown, without evoking the good example of Australia and New Zealand, by merely comparing small English towns; thus while in Guildford the infantile death rate is 65 per thousand, in Burslem it is 205 per thousand.

Mr. E.J. Payne, criticising this passage, says: 'It is certain that Burke never thought he was deserting any principle of his own in joining the Rockinghams. Payne's Burke, i. xvii.
