ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

How to provide healthy and comfortable dwellings for
the population of London is the most momentous and the
most pressing social problem of our time. From the na-
tural growth of population, new dwelling-house accommo-
dation will, during the next ten years, be required for
600,000 people. During last year alone, according to the
statement of the Earl of Shaftesbury, 3,500 houses were
so destroyed, dispossessing 20,000 people of their homes.
Bills for authorising metropolitan improvement now await
,the judgment of the Legislature, which will, if passed into
law, involve the demolition of 16,000 houses and the dis-
possession of their homes of not less than 100,000 people.
The condition of very much of the existing house pro-
perty (chiefly that occupied by the labouring classes)within
the metropolitan district properly so called, is so bad that
our sanitary commissioners are seeking authority from the
Legislature for the condemnation and destruction of thou-
sands of houses, which are nothing better than haunts of
misery, nests 'of pestilence, and fountains of wide-spreading
demoralisation.

Here, then, are accumulative evils to remedy, and accu-
mulative necessities to supply. The remedy forlhese evils,
and the supply of those necessities, will be found in the
provision, on the most extensive scale and at the most
rapid rate possible, of suitable dwelling house accommoda-
tion for all classes of the community.
To take advantage of a field of enterprise thus vast, and
to minister to requirements thus urgent, are the general
objects for which the Suburban Village and General D wel-
ist and the
