A; T ; . • other, and, at length, to transcend the nations, whose excellence. in some particulars, we have not hitherto attained. Such is the , intent of the National Institution. In the detail of the plan, it will be seen, that for the choicest specimens of internal Olin, commensurate rewards are proposed, and that nothing is omitted by which the meritorious rivalry of talent can be promoted and • preserved. Arisen as this country has from barbarism to civili zation, and thence to refinement, she owes her advancement to' the diligence and ability of her own inhabitants : and in propor tion as these noble endowments become cultivated and improved, so will the Empire reach higher gradations of importance : nor will that eminence be sullied by its origin : its foundation and its continuance will have sprung from the resources of its own honourable exertions. The manufacturer and the consumer, placed by accident, or for convenience, at some great distance from each other, will, by the National Institution, be brought. together ; and the industry of all the manufacturing districts will he displayed at once in the Metropolis of the British Empire. As an establishment of public utility and ornament, it claims the' protection of all ranks of the community.-It, will be the splendid' object of foreign envy, and of national exultation. The industry and skill of Great Britain have gradually raised her to the first rank of nations. The wants and wishes of man kind are supplied by her energies, and the rest of the world con sults its own convenience in administering to British greatness siad security. By this various and extended exertion, the re sources are created by which the glory and safety of the country are maintained: also owe their aggrandizement to the cultivation of native talent, and every one 'feels delight in the contemplation of national Industry. Were the effects of this general activity to be brought into one view s financial operations Wort I be accelerated; artizans would more readily choose their subjects for their ingenuity ; and admiring patronage have better Opportunity to gratify taste and dispense encouragement. At the opening of the Royal Exchange, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, her Majesty was presented by Sir Thomas Gresham, With specimens of the produce of foreign countries—with how much more delight would the true patriot, - regard the collection of native genius and ability. No object could be more interest ing, than the display of those contributions which our country suakei, to relieve the wants and to supply the conveniences and luxuries of all mankind. Nor would it be only a•transient plea sure; the emulation of artists would be excited to surpass each In pursuance of this Plan the 111.4NUFACTURNRSI TYFAVERS) Or other Persons, who Institution the Articles of &Ins', iILiNurAcTURE Ade tch are hereunder named Rewards expressed oppoqte to each Article. shall deliver into the National and described, will receive , tha- Names of the Arti cles.
