s _ ss.ng. house, for wed: 311TIMV151sTriXtr
the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single
men are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other
desirable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night.
Al these establi-liments are full. the rents are regularly paid, and
the inmates are very thankful for tso advantages they receive. The
number of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 329, while
In various parts of the country their allotment tenants are 556.
These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and
adequate rental far the capital laid out, are producing important be-
nefits to the workins classes, and are compelling improvement in
lodging houses genera ly.
But there to a very numerous and important class, for whose be-
nefit great efferts ought to be made. The mechanics and other la-
bourers, occupied hi the heart of the metropolis, and saving wives
and families, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ-
ment is to be found, surely demand some consideration.
The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to
meet the wants of this interesting and important class of persons.
They atpresent have in view two sites, in the very centre of the me-
tropolis, either of which would admirably answer the purpose.
They aro endeavoaring to gain possession of one of theta, but it will
be necessary, in order to their effecting this object In a proper and
sufficient manner, that they shotla first raise a sum of 5,0001 or
6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such
extent as to to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a
public appeal must be made, since the whole of the Soclecy's funds
have been exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu-
merated.
The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun-
try no further plea need be used than that of the duty and impor-
tance of benefiting the poor, espesially with respect to their dwellings.
Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures fur the
-improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged on every side,
there eau be n• measure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex-
changing the wretched abodes, into which the riser are now too often
(troweled, for well-planned, well-drainod, and properly ventilated ha-
bitations. The Committee betleve that this can be done even at a
lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now
often forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable
to give them the means of still further demonstrating this important
fact by actual experiment. It cannot be toe often repeated, that
while our poor aro forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages
a il sexes in the saute sleeping apartment, the preservation of either
bcalth or morsfs is rendered all but an impassibility.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which eavers the origin of domestic wretchedness. be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
line traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
nointments. - Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in niederation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused .the eroliflc source of mischief and of greater or loss injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en
.he nature iusd consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the

their relative conditions la health and disease. It deservedly
