The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the
001nrnunity, 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
gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the
bumbler 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 employment capable of remunerating if properly
cultivated, the Highland fishermen and crofters aro frequently in
destitution, requiring the intervention of public charity to avert
actual starvation.
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
sircumstances on the failure of employment, until a number of In-
fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846. _determined to
act upon the principle snceessfully carried out In England, of forming
it great national institution, which should seek to improve generally
the eondltion of the labouring classes, by various means adapted to
that end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic
,Society was In-
Stituted.
The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political
Sad non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperisinb- ten-
dendea—its great objects being, to enable the poor to help them
Pelves ; 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 ho applied therein, so as to sup-
port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly lelleving and
benenting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agi I.
cultural and similar societies are useful to the Intelligent, the
erganlaatlon of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more neeeesary
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 neeessazy,
and its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended
means of usefulness. Every ens is more or less directly interested in
the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the
tatiOler 01114165, SW to raise them from mere PanPere and cox-
