In addition to the system of granting annuities, it is proposed (as
Soon as a sufficient sum can be collected for that purpose) to build
an asylum a short distance from London for the aged annuitants.
The generous assistance of the benevolent is earnestly solicited to-
Wards this object, the Christian propriety of which it is impossible to
doubt. Aged persons of resrctability with small annuities are evi-
dently unable to procure for themselves lodgings at all partaking of
the same character for comfort as their former abodes. In the case
of females whose fortunes have fallen into decay, there can be no
doubt that this is an intense aggravation of their misfortunes, for a
Mean lodging in a low neighbourhood, with all its associations of
Ililsery, if Rot of crime (as must too often be the case), will indeed
form a heavy source of painful degradation to one whose former lot
has been " cast in the pleasant places." What can be more desir-
able, then, than to place such persons in comfortable and respectable
dwellings, where the decencies and proprieties of life can be pro-
Party maintained, and the old age of the inmates preserved from all
those disagreeable circumstances to which we have adverted? It
has been considered that the thll intention of the Society has scarcely
been produced until this last object has been accomplished.
Donors of 51. or upwards to the Building Fund are entitled to the
Privileges of Life Governors, with two votes at every election, and
for every additional 51. they may procure, so that ladies or gentle-
men collecting 5/. or upwards for the building Fund are entitled to
the same privileges pro rata.
Persons collecting 501. or upwards for the Building Fund, or ob-
taining-Ten Life Goiernors to this Institution, shall, for every such
501., be constituted Life Governors, in addition to those benevolent
Persons who may be thus constituted try their respective donations.
Contributors to the Building Fund are placed precisely in the same
Position as other Governors and subscribers.
Contributions in aid of this Important national object will be most
thankfully received by the following bankers :
