The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the
ntunity, end the necessity of adopting some effectual means for
err Irn..rovement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and
llnilanthrople in 'cotland. Apart from the destitution induced by
tratettous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the
Yu:alder classes arose out of circumstances over which they had
Iltle or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti-
nually drives numbers of the rural mid urban population to occupy
pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed,
and whence those of the hither classes also are invaded. Although
possessing fields of employment cap
cultivated, the Highland flsherrnenabalnedof remunerating if properly
ter
destitution, requirieg the intereentien of public a
recharityfrequently
uteon t
avert
triti
actual starvation.

Although Scotland boasts a number of eharitable institutions, it
no orgsnization for aiding the industrious to raise them-
sitlye3 from destitution, or to prevent their falling into depressed
circumstanced on the failure of employment, until a number of in-
• fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1546, decant:bed to
set upon the principle successfully carried out in England, of fbrminz
a great national institution, which should seek to improve generally
tt,e oondltion of the labouring classes, by various means adapted to
• tbat end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic Society was in-
stituted.
The distinguishing features of this society are, IN non-political
and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten-
dets'eles —its great objects being, to enable the poor to hole them
selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the
e°l"ivz and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un-
employed and Indigent classes may be applied therein, se as to sup-
Port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly believing and
benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agri-
cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the
*rianization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more ueeessary
to the uninstructed and destitute.
The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, hut
PePar !deuce has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic
society are telling effectually where they are so much needed.
....
l+therto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited
h enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as is necessary,
(sod Its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended
„._Sant of usefulness. Every one is more or less directly interested in
messes of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the
f±taabler classes and to raise them from mere paupers and con-
ni,ra. Into the successful and self-supporting producer s of
. as it Is impossible for the Society to effect sanitary
"%movements in the eixellings of the humbler classes, and to
litaAraent the produce of the country, without benefiting the
'wet' dassoa.whe alien become the victims of pestilence, sad
