LIVERPOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL AND
LITERARY INSTITUTION.

The fourth of the series of lectures connected with this
institution, was delivered last night, by the Rev. J.
Baldwin Brown, M.A., of London, in the Concert hall,
Lord Nelson-street. The attendance was numerous.
The chair was occupied by Thomas Berry Horsfall,
Esq., M.P., and among the gentlemen present were Rev.
H. S. Brown, Rev. F. Bishop, Mr. T. S. Raffles, Mr. W.
Crosfield, Mr. R. C. Hall, Mr. Houghton, Mr. G. Hub-
back, &0., &c.

After a hymn had been sung, and prayer offered up,
by the Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown,
The Chairman addressed the meeting. He said :
Ladies and gentlemen, it is always a pleasure to me to
take the chair on occasions like the present, to listen to
an address which will be delivered to us, intended prim-
arily for young men, but extending its usefulness to
others also. The pleasure is always enhanced to me,
when I feel that my duty is like yours ; that of a listener
instead of a speaker. We shall be addressed this even-
ing by the Rev. James Baldwin Brown, who has kindly
undertaken to give a lecture, taking for the subject.
"John Howard, philanthrophy, and the criminal world."
This. I need not tell you, is a wide field for a lecture—
a lecture which the lecturer shall find, I doubt, not very
easy to commence, but not so easy to bring to an end. I
need not remind you, those at least who know any thing
of the history of John Howard, that he was a true phil-
anthrophist. His great delight was to tread in his
masters footsteps, to go about doing good. I might,
were it my privilege or duty to address you, enlarge at
great length upon this subject, as well as upon the sub-
ject of crime in England, and of philanthroph but I feel, that were Ito do' so, I shunld do injustice to the
reverend gentleman, who has to address us, and great
injustice to the subject upon which he must attempt to
speak. I shall, therefore, only ask your kind attention
to that address, which the Rev. Mr. Baldwin Brown is
prepared to deliver to us, and from which I hope we
shall all receive great edification and satisfaction. (Ap-
plause).
The Rev. Lecturer then proceeded with his discourse,
and observod at the outset, that the chairman had
accurately described his position, in remarking that he
would find it easy to commence:the lecture, but difficult
to conclude it. We must shelter ourselves behind the
same difficulty, in altogether avoiding to give an outline
of the lecture, for it would be impossible, without los-
ing the spirit of the discourse, and, therefore, marring
it, to re-condense what in itself was a vigorous conden-
sation of a subject, whose limits, from its connection
with every social question of the present day, it would
be impossible to define. The lecture itself, outside its
merits as a discourse or literary production, had one
chief merit which we must notice, because it was the
accomplishment of the end which must be the aim of all
lecturers—to excite the emulation of what is good .and'
noble in example, as well as to instruct. It not only
instructed by clearly imparting useful, though not novel
information on an interesting subject, but when inter-
preted in its spirit, every sentence might be taken as
inciting his hearers "to go and do likewise," imitating,
in however small a degree, the good works which were
the proofs of John Howard's philanthrophy. After
tracing the early years of Howard's life, the lecturer
proceeded to describe the manner in which he spent his
large fortune. Among the " heterodox " views which he
entertained on the subject of political and social economy
was this : he believed that he was bound in duty and
conscience to expend the amount of his. annual income
in each year. The lecturer admitted that this was a
heterodox view of economy. but forcibly compelled his
audience to contrast the faithfulness with which Howard
discharged his duties as a landowner with the total neglect
of them by too many landed proprietors of the present
day, by declaring that when his audience would tell him
how many landlords there were in England at present

dwuetrieesloTilpgroß2rty while enjoying its rights, be would
tell them the chance there was of the social regeneration
of the great mass of our agricultural populatinn. The
lecturer then showed that Howard's was no Sentimental
philanthrophy. and was of that genuine manly and prac-
tical character which many of those who now claimed
the title of philanthrophists might well imitate.' In
alluding to the 'preslit system of gaol discipline, the
lecturer expressed himself opposed to the system of
solitary confinement, but said that it was too soon yet to
express a positive opinion on it, and declared that we
wanted reformers more than reformatories. We should
first strive to reform, and then punisirovhen punishment
was unavoidable. The lecture was throughout, and at
its conclusion, loudly applauded.
