ABSTRACT
In the preceding pages, I have endeavoured to lay before the public a correct, impartial, and explicit Narrative of the Origin of Adult Schools, as well as of the successful exertions of the Bristol Society for extending the means of education amongst that long neglected class of their fellow-cff>atul'es, \'\Those ignorance of the Holy Scriptures loudly alld imperiously calls for those Christian endeavours, to raise them from their state of moral degradation; that they may in future enjoy, in common with thof'e in the higher walks of life, the inet;timable
31 blessings that sacred volume was intended to convey to the whole family of mankind. I shall now endeavour to enter upon other circumstances connected with theso .schools, and the ultimate object contemplated by their benevolCl!ut friends and supporters.
