nArro.N.d S T Uri OAV

An Association has been lately format under the
name of the," Natioital Institution," io improvo
Thitish Manuladures, and the Arise ,nneeted there-

The manifold and important objeEts which it will
embrace, may be comprehended in one emphaf.c
.itle—Briiish Manufactures ;- of which eveiy branch
furnished by mechanical power, manual labour, 9r
human ingenuity, will be included. No article that
rriAnjaciure, or the arts connected with it, car; pro-
duce, will be omitted, so that not only the fabricati•
ed Materials will be distinctly exhibited, -but their
various applications illustrated in their d fferent gran
daiolis, from a state of ordinary use, to the highe9!
degree of tasteful and splendid decoration. Thus'
the manufaelurer will have • the most 'desirablet,as
they will prove the most beneficial, opporfutltles
of exhibiting specimens of his counnodities ; the
mechanic, ot displaying his ingenuity ;. and' the or-
tiz in, of making known the taste'and perfection of
his workmanship ; -while every purchaser ot manu-
factured articles (which may be considered as ill'
volving the whole extent of population) will krinvi,
where to apply for the purpose of seeing whit he
actually does want,. in all its varieties, what he WY.
Want, or what-he is not sensible, perhaps,. that he
does IA ant, till the view of an object suggests the
necessity of it. -•
He will have presented' at tu
...once to his inspectio
.(arranged in a regular and connected series), all that
Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds.,-. Not,;
tinghato, Covistry, Norwich, OlasgoW, ard all
ether inanufactuting-places, supply_; while the it"
genious ariiian, wherever he may live, or whatever
may be his branch, will here.be enabled to displaf
to the public, the fruits of his invention or his in"
•
dustry.
Thus the rnanufaClurer and the consumer. will be
brought together, without the intervention of those
circumstances • which now keep them at a
dis-
tance, to their mutual inconvenience and di3Ll'.
vantage.
It is almost superfluous to state, that an Instiftl°
tion of this peculiar -charaCter and comprehensi`°
description must be established in the metropolis"
London is the centie of attraeii the grand matt
of the Itmgdom, and, as tt were, the citadel
trade, to Which the distant commercial towns are
so many out-posts, whose strength consists in ale'r
connection with; and dependence upon it ;_ it POP.
sesses the'corceritrated powers of sale and onrclia'e,
'and. the objet of this Institution to attract tb°3e
.
0
powers to one distinguished pint., and to fix ti et
there, in every thing that -respects the trade of .13'1
tish manufaaures, It will be achainiel- for the
p'y according to it scale of quantities of ail inatruf3'
tured articles. •
The . premises' will be of dimensions suited I:
the extent of the undertaking, and fitted OP °be
manner calculated to display their contents to t
best possible advantage ; nor will any appropri,lo
circum,tanees he wanting which is necessary t°
most complete system of accommoolation. •
The Util,ty of such a reservoir for British wand
fiEttirCci cotumodities, cannot be questionc,4,
'hat it will promote their variety, .00veliy, and
•prOVernent, can be as little dbribted : while by
cncouragcrnc:nt of ingenuity frcm the offer of Pre..
,
miums, and other incitements, not only etol).",''e,-
ments and occupations of a very buitzkble and °5,,
curning character will be given to young •Peio9ell..,
and pariicularly of the leMale sex (which
eluded from too many); but prominent advanile,
will naturally result from Such a source, by an
ces,ion of utility, taste, and beauty, according •be,
articles, from their quality and application, tol
susceptible of them.
.;
To extend these observations into all tile de,:
tail of ilrustratinn of which the subjeet is Cl°);c1
tale, must be reserved for a future cciturnunicatio'o
_
the public. •
The. 'philosopher, politician, and man. Of rll::
mercial knowledge, will want no particular eXPabd,
lion to give them a correct idea of the object,
result of ale projeaed institution. an,
As the manufa6turers, will of- course pay all . 01
nual moderate sum fromrthe privileges deriVed fro_
the establishment, it cannot be thought an 111:,
sition, if the publiC at large Purchase their ado of
sion on the. same terms -..which 'other -places to
public amusement -and ipstruelion are allowed

demand. •
An Exhibition thus pOsses,ing an unprall',o
range for the gratification of rational curiosity,
dotibt!ess become a most interesting, novel, and 'oe
propriate feature of the first comtnercial city,in `Ol
world. It way be considered as,the Panora"
British, Manufacture.
