The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the
aommunity, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for
their improvement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and
philanthropic in Scotland. Apart from the destitution induced by
gratultous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the
humbler classes arose out of circumstances over which they had
little or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti-
nually drives numbers of the rural and urban population to occupy
pestiferous dwellings
where their own health or lives are sacrificed,
and whence those of the higher classes also are invaded. Although
possessing fields of
oultivated, the eployment capable of remunerating if properly
destitution, Highland fishermen and crofters are frequently in
Actual starvation. requiring the intervention of public charity to avert
Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it
possessed no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them-
selves from destitution, or to Prevent their falling into depressed
circumstances on the failure of
uential and benevolent persons, September, .eir:roYment, until a number of in-
set upon the principle s
oon, 1846, determined to
Y carriedeP out in England, of forming
great national institution, which should seek to Improve generally
the condition of the labouring classes,
various means adapted to
that end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic Society was in-
Whited.
The distinguishing
features of this society are
Itnd non-sectarian character, and its antagonism its non-political
Ls
aseptes—its great objects being. to enable the pool;stuoPehrinelping them-
ten-
selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the
colonies ; and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un-
employed and indigent classes may be applied therein, so as to sup-
port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly telleving axd
benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agri-
Cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the
Organization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more necessary
to the uninstructed and destitute.
The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, but
experience has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic
Society are telling effectually where they are so much needed.
Hitherto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited
to enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as is necessary,
Lad its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended
liseans of usefulness. Every one is more or lees directly interested in
the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition 6t the
bumbler glasses and to raise them from mere paupers and con-
sumers, into the successful and self-supporting producers of
food, as it is impossible for the Society to effect sanitary
improvements in the dwellings of the humbler classes, and to
augment the produce of the country, without benefiting the
