The Ends of Performance
An interesting read
What a brilliant rant against female servants, footmen and shoe shiners. The maids come from the countryside and they immediately raise their wages, start wearing fancy silk dresses instead of wool. These even start affairs with the Master's apprentice, his son, or even the masters. This of course wrecks his marriage, family and even his estate at which point she dumps a bastard on him and leaves. All I can say is how horrible those poor rich men are treated by wicked female servants. He supplies several suggestions for keeping women servants inline.
He also has a good rant shoe shine men and boys who he believes are all lazy scoundrels and thieves. This is a very interesting view of the class beliefs values and practices of the early 1700's by a English gentleman.
