ABSTRACT
The popular leaders among the Livery, and others, and their well-trained followers, fortunately came to their assistance, and an amendment being at length carried, and was again set at liberty to put in train the most vigorous and decisive measures for carrying the plan into extensive execution. The class can from the first have much better accommodations than those described in the author report to the Committees of the Association for the relief of the Manufacturing and Labouring Poor, and of the House of Commons on the Poor Law. By the adoption of the plan proposed for the parochial poor, the parishes of England and Wales will soon materially diminish their poor’s rate, and gradually reduce them, until they shall be extinguished. Under the arrangements the parish poor will soon lose their ignorant and vulgar habits, and acquire such an improved character as the new circumstances will imperceptibly and speedily give then.
