ABSTRACT
The building to the left contains a school for the elder children, and a committee-room on the ground floor; above, a library and a room for adults. It is proposed that the elder children should be trained to assist in gardening and manufacturing for a portion of the day, according to their strength; and that the men should be employed, all of them, in agriculture, and also in manufactures, or in some other occupation for the benefit of the establishment. The present system will effectually relieve the manufacturing and labouring poor from their present deep distress, without violently or prematurely interfering with the existing institutions of society. The immense sums annually raised for their relief are lavished in utter disregard of every principle of public justice or economy.
