Our title, " The People's Journal " (and we use the word " peo-
ple" in its widest sense), should be our only prospectus, did we not
know how often titles are valued by those who use them, as the
angler uses the painted fish—merely to catch. Let us, then, show
how we propose to make our publication a complete practical
development of all that is implied in its name. We propose to
deal in; an earnest and business-like manner with the claims of
industry. One of the profoundest thinkers of the present day has
announced, as with a prophetic voice, " All human interests, com-
bined human endeavours, and social growths, in this world, have at
certain stages of their development required organising, and work,
the grandest of human interests, does now require it." lint,
Th
how
is this to be attempted ? The same lips have told us :--*de
organisation of labour must be taken out of the hands o ofbsur
windy persons, and put into the hands of wise, labori, mo-
dest, and valiant men ; to begin with it straightway ; to proceedaah
with it and succeed in it more and more; if Europe,-
_t . 3
rate if England—is to continue habitable nauch longehr:n Taking
this lesson deeply to heart, may we not all do somet g ?
People's Journal will at least do this, open freely its pages to those
who, in the spirit of Thomas Carlyle, will seek to aid in the solution
of the mightiest of all problems—Hoar shall we emancipate labour
We also propose to make the People's Journal a zealous, and—if
It may be—an efficient helpmate to the working man, by affording
him full and timely information of what philanthropists acid
philanthropical societies—whether of his own, or of any other class,
are doing in his behalf
by interesting itself in his home—and in the
;
all-important subjects involved in that word, as—suitable buildings
—domestic management—care of health—household education—
the garden and the field allotment ; by describing to him the new
book that we think he would like to read, or the new play, or new
actor, or new exhibition, that he would probably like to see ; by
giving him, through the engravings, :led the accompanying letter-
letter-press of our People's Portrait Gallery, an almost personal
familiarity with our great and good men and women, especially those
of our own time; and, lastly, by endeavouring to promote the true
business of his life, namely, the development of all the capacities of
our common nature, by a right use of the potent influences given to
as for that end. Thus, it is not sufficient for man to know how to
support life by industry, and by the assistance of the useful arts ; or,
how to guide life by the religious, moral, and social laws ; he wants
also, to vivify, to elevate, and to spiritualise life—to make it, in a
word, happy in the truest sense of happiness, by the constant study
and enjoyment of science, art, music, poetry, literature, with all
their varying and endless ramifications. We have spoken of our
proposed endeavours in connexion with the " working man," because
he most needs sympathy, aid, and above all, just appreciation ; but
are his temporal and spiritual interests really different from those
of anybody else ? Are we not, or ought we not all to be working
men ? Can there ba a true People's Journal that is not, at the same
time, essentially a journal for all ? There remains one important
consideration. Those who would assist the masses, must first take
care to learn thoroughly their condition. How is this to be done ?
We offer, in answer—
" The Annals of Industry"—where we propose, first, to allow the
disciples of industry to state their own wants and wishes in their
own words. Next, we propose to furnish them, in this department,
with regular information on all the subjects that most deeply inte-
rest them in a business point of view ; such as the history and pre-
sent state of their trades or occupations, including notices of new
inventions, and local customs of peculiar interest ; law, in its more
or
direct bearings :upon the interests of labour ; wages, their rise
fall, and present as contrasted with former rates ; employment,
whether deficient or ample, healthy or unhealthy, its hours of daily
labour, and the movements making to lessen their number—move-
ments that will obta sing zealous co-operationT People's
Journal ;" employers uished for their attention to the com-
forts, and feelings, and interests of their workpeople ; sanatory con-
dition of towns and dwellings ; the arts and sciences, as applicable
to trade and manufacture—experiments in social progress, &c. The
annals are open alike to employer and employed, and are written in
a spirit of calmness and perfect impartiality towards both, from ori-
ginal materials, supplied, on the part of the employed, by trades'
secretaries and others in all parts of the country.
Illustrations.—lt is only necessary to say that quality rather than
quantity —permanent rather than temporary interest—will here be
studied : and that whilst the subjects will be all systematically
chosen, there will be attached to each such information upon its origin
as may be necessary to enable readers to judge for themselves of its
value.
Prices.—Weekly numbers, I j.; d. each; Monthly parts, 7d. each
(40. when five numbers) ; Half-yearly volumes, 4s. 6d. each.
Although issued in weekly numbers, there is no weekly repetition
of large title-heads : consequently the internal aspect of the volume
is precisely that of a perfect book.
Miss Martineau's " Survey from the Mountain," and the Engrav-
ings from the picture exhibitions, are continued in Part 6 for July,
price 7d., in which are also completed William Itowitt's " Letters on
Laboug " and Mary liowitt's "Picture-book without Pictures," from
the Danish of Andersen.
