1. That the world has been hitherto governed by force
and fraud, and most unwisely for all parties.
2. That ignorance, the original sin of the world, is the
cause of all human misery ; and that this cause rtaj be
now most beneficially removed from every populat ion,
with the certainty of a law of nature.
3. That it is now the interest of all that ignorance
should be universally removed.
4. That the means abound to remove poverty end all
fear of it from every British subject, in a short period,
and at no very distant day from the population of of.-ery.
other country. It is either ignorance or injustice that
maintains poverty in any part of the world.
5. That all crime, which is solely the effect of mov-
able ignorance, may be prevented at a far less coat than
it can be punished or permitted to remain.
6. That the British Government possesses nth:, by
the addition made to its scientific productive power, more
than ample means, wisely applied, to remove ignorance,
poverty, and crime, from your Majesty's dominions .
7. That this effect can be produced only by a re-
organisation of society on principles in accordance with
the well-ascertained laws of nature.

8. That this re-')rganisation may be gradually ;so in..
trocluced that it shall produce beeetit through ever step
of its progress, without creating evil to any one.
9. That this re-organization will, of necessity, itt ange
all the inferior external circumstances of man's cite ation
for superior ; and man is by nature the creature of the
inferior and superior circumstances by which he is. sur-
rounded.

10. That with these superabundant means to r,
without injury to any one, the present crying ad\re•rsity
of the population, which endangers the existence of the
present Government, and to establish permanen 6. in-
creasing prosperity, beneficial for all, it will hi: far
worse than folly in the Government and people lo nger
to permit the present disorder of public and pzivate
affairs to continue.

11. That the change by a common-sense union cif the
Government and people, under a wise application of the
capi•al of the country, may be now gradually effected
with ease and incalculable advantage to both Govern-
ment and people.
12. That the writer of this address, regardless the
deeilly-rooted prejudices produced by errors of ..class,
sect, party, country, and colour, has devoted a. long
life to secure this great change for the human race ;
that he has been most desirous to prepare the m sans
to commence this all-glorious and important chap/ ;e in
his native country, previous to the adoption of inz.meitires
to extend its benefits to all other countries ; but vs ho is
now about to enter upon his 74th year, and the c 0 in tinu-
a.nca of his life is therefore very uncertain, he p.!e rents
this address to your Majesty, to ascertain whetem r the
Briti,h Government is yet prepared for this peas sable
change, and whether it will now afford him the in sans,
easily to be obtained, to carry it quietly and grad sally
into execution, fa- the permanent advantage and; high
benefit of all ; or whether, as was the fate of Cohn abus,
he must take his discovery of a new mental, more;', and
practical world, into that new physical world ell' t Co-
lumbus was made to feel conscious existed, whici a did
exist, and which it is not now improbable may bt des-
tined to be the immediate means to re-organise and
rationalise the old disorganised and irrational world.
13. That these great fa-As far more deserve the: calm
investigations and deep consideration of British states-
men and of the Government, than the petty mas cures
which have so long engaged. and which now englg e the
attention of the Imperial Parliament, and thus tcrini-
nate for ever, the childish party contentions about; taxes
on corn, or any other taxes—about ten hours daily
toil and labour, or any other period of labour--; about
repeal of the Visit, or any other union—or, abou t the
ignorant prejudices, forced into the mind in chile/4,100d,
of any class, or sect, or party, all of which prejudices, it
has been discovered, have emanated from ima'l,inary
fundamental notions of our most ignorant and in xp
sri-
enced ancestors, notions now demonstrated to be clip ,sed
to nature's unchanging laws, and therefore most iti,uri-
oua to humanity.
14. That the excitement now existing, owing to the
present 'anomalous and most inconsistent condition of
society, calls for immediate inquiry into its cause ; that
that being discovered, an eff,etive permanent remedy
may be applied, and that your Majesty's reign nay be
secured in peace, and made the era of the commeneenteat
of a rational and happy existence for the human rock .
15. That the time for the present maintenance of ig-
norance, poverty, and division of feeling and interest, is
rapidly passing, and cannot much longer ba cone used
without violence—while violence will to now most inju-
rious to all.

Your memorialist therefore prays that your IV:n;jesty
will direct this subject to be fully investigated by 411,n of
superior mind, high moral courage and extensive ex-
perience, none others being competent to the ta.slc; or
by such other better means as may appear to your
Majesty's Government to accomplish the great object
of human redemption from unnecessary ignorance,
poverty, and division—evils which are the bane of hap-
piness to the human race.
And your memorialist will for ever pray.
