An at- tempt was made in this parish to support the poor by means of a workhouse, which was erected at a considerable ex- pence by the proprietors and principal inhabitants, and was ready for the reception of the poor at Whitsunday 1752. $r Carlyle has given^ the following account of it i " The- MIDLOTHIAN. 393 best rules of management that could be devised or collect- Poor, ed were ordained ; and the house went on for many years to the comfort of the poor, and the satisfaction of all con- cern...ed. An additional expence, as was expected, be- sides the building, was incurred for the maintenance of the poor ; and an assessment was laid on the heritors that year for the first time. The object then being, not the most parsimonious plan of provision for the poor, but their comfortable subsistence, and the preservation of the young among them from idleness and profligacy, the arguments arising from the danger, by means of such institutions, of crazing the sense of shame of dependence on the poors funds from the minds of the indigent, or of blunting the feelings of compassion in the hearts of their relations, did not occur ; or if they had, would have been considered as the suggestions of avarice, in no respect applicable to the state of this parish.
