PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE NATIONAL SOCIETY for IM-
PROVING the DWELLINGS of the WORKING CIA'SSES,
(To be Ineorpor.ated by Royal Charter or by Act of Parliament.)
Provisionally Registered.

•- • -
No person can be ignorant of the lamentable state of destitution in
which vast numbers of the working, classes in London, and the large
Manufacturing towns,
are compelled to exist.
Public opinion, to which a general expression i 3 given by the
Press, has latterly been much directed to the consideration of the
best means of educating these classes. To this undertaking, the
misery and degradation of their condition has hitherto presented
almost insurmountable difficulties,
It is now generally- admitted, by those who have consider d the
subject, that it is hopeless to organise any plan of moral reform for
these classes which has not for Its basis the improvement of their
physical condition.
This impr-ventent must be be, tin at home—if such a term can be
applied to the miserable dens in which thousinds of respectable poor
men are compelled to live. ,!odern improvements in large town,:
have hitherto been carried out too much with a view of external
appearance, and without sufficient regard to the comforts and re-
quirementsof the poorer classes.

- -
It is w‘-'3l known that no houses pay so well as common lod-,:ing
houses. Asa commercial undertaking, the result of the experi-
mental model :odving, houses in London, Leeds, and other important
towns, has fully- answered t!;e expectations that were formed.
The objects of this soc'ety are set fort in its title.
It disclaims at the outset any attempt to supplant, or in any way
to interfere with, the excellent institutions now before the public
having similar objects in view : on the c mtrary, it desires to record
its sense of the treat benefits conferred upo the country by thes't
institutions, and wishes to be considered a fellow-labourer in aid and
extension of the treat movement of 'floral and sanita• y reform.
It is intended to amdy for a Royal Charter, or an act to incort,o-
rate the Society, in which will be contained powers for the com-
pulsory pure:ntse (d• lands and houses, and clauses for limitation of
mdividuai ;lability.
It only remains to add, that all the recent improvements in drain-
age, ventilation, &c., will be adopted in the dwellings to be erected
by the National oociety, with a strict regard to economy in every
department, and without any unnecessary interference with the free-
dom of the inmates. .

Prospectuses will b. issued in a few days. Communications may
be addressed to N. F. De 4ex, Esq., and to Messrs. 11. and W. Too-
good, 30 and 22, Pariiament-street.
