Note 167-9 — Chapter III

John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation

The cost of bringing up a common laborer, in England, according to Senior, is £40; a gentleman, £2,040. (Outlines, 205.) The more expensive an education which one acquires for its own sake and without any special object beyond this in view, is, the less can the capital laid out in it affect wages. (von Mangoldt, V. W. L., 382.)
