The object at which I sim,is the formation of nay rosy Ism, to which the casual Poor, who are table and silting to work, may betake themselves on Goy emergeocy ; and all that I am anxious to urge is, that any establishment of the kind should be Such as would be poblicly knosu, and esgily ac cessible; that the work required in it should be of a kind that could be readily effected, or learned by pro- opts who had been accustomed to mantra' Isb-or ; tuff that the manufacture should relate to ■ncles for which • demand 'meld be readily obtained, and which would not bailers with establishments 'already formed in the neighbourhood.
