TO CATHOLIC NOBLEMEN AND TA MILIES.
T must be obvious to all who duly consider the subject,
I
that the state of the LA Bt./I'lllN° CATHOLICS in ENG-
LAND, and more particularly in the 31 ETROPOLIS, is ca-
pable of great improvement, as regards their morals and happi-
ness ; and without dwelling either on the impositions to which
they are subject, or the disadvantages under which they perpe-
tually
labour, it is presumed that every measure that would tend
to promote economy and industry, and counteract the general
distress, which too often visits whole districts, would meet with
the liberal patronage of die more wealthy members of the Uni-
versal Church.
Considering that the greater part of the distress that is to be
found among the poor Catholics, arises from sickness, and that the
evil is increased by the want of medical assistance, and the total
suspension of the poor men's earnings ; and further, that (to say
nothing of the uncertainty of those institutions) Irish labourers,
indeed Catholics generally, are excluded from the advantages of
most Benefit Stscfeties, it is respectfully submitted to the more
wealthy Catholic Families,—
Tbat an Institution should be formed under the Act of 59 Geo. 3.

esp. 111, to enable Catholics generally, of all denominations,
luovide, by Monthly Contributions, certain Weekly Allowanc
during Sidman and Infirmity, and sums of 3loory at Death, 1
Burial Expenses, Rc..att.
That the contributions, required for such allowances, shoo
be thud by proper actuaries at the lowest possible rate, to accu
the permanence and stability of the Institution.
That the Society should be aided by the voluntary Subscri
dons of Honorary :limbers, and be governed by a tronimitt
chosen from and by the Honorary Subscribers and Insult
Mcnbets.
That the Members should meet Annually only, for the flash
Otionrs; and, that the busineva of the Society shouM bncarrit
—at mane eonstolent place—sat a public boast.
Of the positive advantages arising front this step, none but thot
sisho have considered the subject can form any idea. The prom
lion of industry and economy; protection against that distress whir
the result of sickness or death ; the prevention of contagious di
ante by the prompt attention which would emanate from the S
(IWO visiting medical practitioners, are some of the earliest of tl
erects which would be produced ; and it is under this impressit
that friends to such a measure are earnestly solicited to commur
eats with a Gentleman who has determined to found such an Insi
tenon in London, and who will lend his assistance towards est
Dilating such Societies in any County or City in the United Kin,
doss, and furnish the Plan, Rules, Calculations, ands& Certificat
inquired by the Act of Parliament.
Persons who may feel desirous to promote such an object, 1
anbscribing from one guinea upwards, either annually or as a d
nation ; or who can lend any assistance towards the undertaking
mrwho may be desirous of establishing such a Society in any pa
of England, Ireland, or Scotland, upon principles which cann
fail, are requested to forward a line, post paid, to M. 0. B. Peel
Coffee-house, Fleet-street.
