trchC/antlemen—l am reluctantly compelled by necessity to
e the present appeal to your benevolence in behalf of my-
Wife, and a numerous family.
Let44r many years past, by indefatigable exertions, I have
44 in enabled by my humble abilities as an Engraver to su.pport
4pec,sereasing family, now amounting to nine children, in re-
,"Lhility and comfort, and still enjoyed the cheering prospect
Ptiecintinuance in such honourable endeavours as every mile-
4tiohent mind delights in. But by one of those awful. visi-
-44(0 of Providence, which it is not for us to question, I was
wholly incapable of further professional labours. I
NNA,."`vg a violent paralytic stroke in March, 1821. My medical
tkelrecommended a visit to my native air, as the only means
404, to restore my shattered frame. A stay at Newcastle of
Sh!, months affording no change for the better, I returned to
%I'4". In my absence, my enemies injured my interests by
'reth,44l,4 lamenting my total loss of intellect, while they le-
tr44, Promoted their own selfish and Mercenary views. The
f.)rai,Vence of such conduct was, that I have bFen deprived
''rrecf amounting to many hundred pounds, which waslrans-
boll, to the hands of the men who had thus assailed me in the
‘;• ',of affliction.
4rierl;lll this state of sickness and distress, I was advised by my
„43 to take a house in Regent-street, for the better sale of
"tillts, and to let a part furnished ; and although this step
'llll,;'wered my most sanguine expectations, and would enable
mett4t trly family to live rent-free, yet the previous embarrass-
arising from a total loss of income, had brought me to
we Ith,',state;that nothing can save me from inevitable ruin but
osing hand of benevolence. To aggravate the ills
>'er pluich I am encompassed, my wife has fallen sick from
.e(1 -„Aertion to avert them • and the husband of my only mar-
-4'o chill is consigned to Prison for debt, leaving his wife and
't• it'Pless infants an additional burden on me.

kittr,ent apology plead the boldness3vith which I have ventured

itiiiee've the sympathy and commiseration of its members,
Nely.'lletlee them to rescue me from irretreivable ruin by a
