He was allowed a daily sum, amounting to twelve cents of our money, for his food¡ªeight cents for his dinner and four for his supper. His food was purchased at a cook-shop near by, and cut for him. He was not permitted the use of a knife. The door was opened three times a day for ventilation¡ªmorning, noon, and night¡ªbut not for more than four minutes each time. A single tallow-candle was allowed him; but that was to be extinguished at seven o¡¯clock in the evening. ¡°It is in such moments that I have felt how small are those advantages of birth, those vapors of grandeur, with which vanity would solace us. They amount to little, properly to nothing. Ah! would glory but make use of me to crown your successes!
