(LETT.EXt
TO THE EDITOR. OF THE GLASGOW CIi4ONICLE!
Slit---1 hove promised to state, iii , this. lett.er,
what measures have been adopted to induce the world te ex-
amine the principles of the new system, with it yiew to its gene-
cal application to society. •
Front the two former letters, it must have appeared evident
that the introduction of the proposed system will effect a much
greater change in the condition of the inhabitants of all coun-
tries, than has occurred in any country during the past history
of our species. (if this necessary consequence I was aware, from
the timeit was discovered to me, " that man had hitherto been
taught to think and act only in opposition .to nature:" the
measures, therefore, which were adopted, correspond with the
magnitude of the objects to be attained.
For en unknown individual to speak or write upon such a
subject, without the support of facts to give weight to'his rea-
sonings, I 'knew would be a useless task, and, would subject
him at once to be considered a.visionary and a madman. Un-
der this conviction, all my efforts were directed to obtain the
most extensive means of bringing the principles to the test of
practice.
At a very early paled 4.e' my life, I was enabled to try the
effect of kindness and diminiSlied punishments upon a large.
mike(' population in Ltinteish ire, •and the beneficial restate of
this experiment having surpassed the expectations which I had
formed, I was desirous of extending the sphere of my opera-
tions. The means of instituting an experiment upon an en-
larged stale, and under LI greater complication of difficulties
and counteractions, were then effinded me, by the purchase, in,
conjunction with other parties, of the New Lanark establishe
ment front the late l‘lr. Dale, who afterward* became my
father-in-law. . .
In this situation I ' continued to persevere in my object for
thirteen years, which, with the time occupied in a similar man-
ner at Manchester, gave me an extensive valuable experience
of moss than twenty years, before I ventured to inform the
public that I suspected the fundamental principles upon which
society was formed were erroneous, opposed to all the known
laws ofhuman nature, apd destructive of human happiness.
At this period I began, although but little acquainted with
composition, to pUblieh some preliminary essays, and to under.
take extensive journeys, in order to come into immediate com.
munieation with the most celebrated, acute, and comprehensive
minds of the present age, and to ascertain whether they possessed
any knowledge which I had not previously found he books. I
was in this respect also peculiarly fortunate, having had an op.
portunity of more personal confidential discussion with the lead-
mg men of all sects, parties and classes, than has peahens ever
fallen to the lot of any. individual. I continued the same
practice for ten years, during which I also varied, and. enlarg6d
experimental plans in which I was engaged, and published front
time to time such principles as appeared to me to be in unison
with the laws of nature.;
As it was my fixed purpose from the beginning not to nt-
tempt any .change, except through the
troth
general consent of man.
kind, arising troth a conviction of its eminently beneficial
tendency, I studiously avoided connecting myself with any
sect, or class, or party, and more especially with those who
thought that the condition of society could be improved only by
violence.
My aim therefore, has ever; been, to speak to the under-
standing of the most experienced and intelligent: and I have
uniformly made it a rule to inform the leading governments of
the civilized world of the progress of my investigations, the
success of my experinients, and the ultimate changes which the
principles of the New System, it' found trite, would necessarily
produce throughout society. Thia I did that the whole subject
might be fully before theni, that they might become thoroughly
acquainted with it, and be assured I had no other hostility to
the old institutions of the world than that which arose front a
complete persuasion that they were opposed to the advancement
of the general interest of one species. By this means if any of
those high authorities hall been so inclined they had a fair op-
portunity of openly opposing thp principles, plans, end mea-
sures which I adopted. That they have not done so is a profO
that the time is arrived when civilized government:* no longer
think it necessary or expedient to check the progreae of' reli-
gious, mental, and moral improvement any more than the pro-
gress of physical science, provided the advance shall proceed
openly and fiiirly, and be unteccompenied with any attempt to
excite the angry and violent feelings of one portion of society
against onother.
During this period I visited parts of France, Switzerlend and
Germany. I spent one month in 11110 at Frankfint during the
sitting of the Germanic Diet, and had frequent communica-
tion with some of its leading members. From thence I pro-
ceeded to A i x-la-Vhapelle. where I remained during the greater
part of the time occupied by the deliberationsof Congress, com-
municating, direct} f or indirectly, with minty of the, most en-
lightened individuals, who were assembled on that Memorable
. occasion. I afterwards revisited Paris. .
In these journeys my chief object was to obtain, front per-
sonal obsereition, a knowledge of the existing state of mind
among those who had the direction of the alum of Europe ;
and, at the same time, to announce in the most public manner
the contident expectations which I entertained of the near np.
preach of an entire change in the ohl system of society---a change
which no combination of human power could prevent, and of
which, by reason of its tranticendant advantages, none would be
inclined, except for a very limited period, to resist the full and
complete adoption.
In the course of these ten years, I also called several public
meetings, with the view of gradually preparing the public mind
for the reception of the new principles, and of eliciting all the
objections which the ignorant or the enlightened, the learned or
the experienced, could bring forward against them; that I might
he the better prepared to meet the great trial of strength which
I knew would soon arise between the defenders of the old, and
the promoters °kb New System, At these meeting I gene-
rally advanced, in the opening address, some important first
principles, opposed to the prevailing notions of the world for
the purpose of' exciting discussion, which Might render the
subject familiar to the public Mind, and ultimately lead it, by
fair examination, to correct conclusions. In this way, my real
object in calling these meetings was always secured before
they
,commenced, it being of little or no consequence to
the great cause I had undertaken • what resolutions might
per'
On many such occasions, when I deemed the matter of pre-
3:minary address of essential importance to the purpose I had
in view arrangenknitif• had been previously Made, by which a
correct statement of it was published the following morning in
all the Londun papers, and its circulation not only secured
through the regular channels wherever the British newspapers
are permitted, but extended by the purchase, each time, of be-
tween twenty and thirty thousand additional copies, which
were addressed to the Members of both !louses of Parliament,
to the dignitaries of the church,'and to every regular officiating
clergyman in Great Britain and Ireland, to the chief Magistrate
and to the principal bankers in each city and town in the United
Kin ;dour, and to Many other ififluential persons in various
situations throughout the Britieh dominions.
The subject has likewise been, in one form or other, fee-
quently introducid in Parliament, and to a igreater or less ex-
tent, favonrably entertained by several of the most intelligent
and disinterested Members. And, latterly, it has been much
discussed in. verities cities and towns in Ireland, and particu-
larly in Dublin'; where, after four crowded meetings, the op-
ponents of the:plan found it necessary: to withdraw their oppo-
sition.
During this period, also, the experiment, which has been
continually in progress at New Lanark, has been fully opened
to the most minute inapection of the public. Full liberty
has been given to the rich
end poor, to natives and to fo-
reigners, .o conic, and see, anti judge, by the evidence of
their owe senses; for no limit has been put to the num-
ber of days or, weeks, during which strangers might ex-
amine the extablishment, whether their object was to dis-
eoeer its defects, or to ascertain its value, for private or pub-
lic example. •
To the prosecution of the novel anti important undertaking,
in which neve embarked, thirty years of my life have been
devoted, and the expence which has been incurred cannot be
easily estimated; but it has exceeded a large independent for.
tune for any private family. I recur however to this tlfleendie
tore not only without the slightest regret, but with feelings of
peculiar sansfaction.
By many have been deemed a visionary and a madnuin, and
I have long been accustomed to see, in print, every kind of
epithet applied to my underteking.
All tilts,' bow ever, end much more, I was prepared for from
the cemmencement, I had from the first, omitted tittepossi-
ble sacrifice which might be reqniredeaed, considering the un-
limited extent of itOdd to be -obtained from the preaint and all
future generations, character, fortune, and life. seemed but as
