continue the habit. The first step adopted in that
ease, was to convince the parties, when sober, of.
the advantages they would derive front having
the temptation removed ; which, when attempted
in a mild and proper spirit, was never difficult to
accomplish. The next step was to remove the.
temptation ; and then the evil itself, with all its
endless injurious consequences, ceased altogether.
The whole process, when completely understood,
is simplicity itself, and may be easily carriLd into
practice to the fullest extent, by those who pos-
sess the usual ordinary talents, and society vortld
rapidly improve without any retrogression. But
while the notions which have influenced tl►e con-
duct of mankind up to the present period shall •
prevail and he acted upon, society cannot sub-
stantially and permanently improve. These no-
tions confine the eAtention to effects, and, from.
want of useful inquiry, lead to the conclusion,
that the causes fro►tt which they redly proceed,.

. .
however injurious, n not be altered or controll-
ed by man. Under such notions the world is
now governed. Facts, however, prove, that the
reverse of these notions is true let men there-
for:e attend to facts, and to facts only, and it will
be obvious, that they can with ease remove the
real causes which create bad habits, errors, and
crimes ; and without difficulty replace them with
other causes, the certain effects of which would
be to establish generally throughout society, good

habits, correct sentiments, anda kind, charitable,
and virtuous conduct, free from the prejudices
That would create unkind feelings, and thence ren-
der them unjust to those who had been taught to
differ from them in opinion. It must therefore
absolutely follow, that. to attempt to improve
mankind on any other principle whatever than by
a close, at:curate, and undeviating attention to
facts, is as absurd and unavailing as to expect that
the most barren soil and sterile climate shall spon-
taneously produce abundance ; as to expect that
a full and steady light shall issue from the dark-
est ahvss ; or that man, immersed in ignorance,
surrounded by every vicious temptation, shall be.
better, wiser, and happier, than when trained to
be intelligent and active, amidst circumstances
only which would perpetually unite his interest,
his duty, and his ieelings. While, then, we per-
mit the cause to ;main that must leave ni4nkind

in ignorance, that must create 'in them intempe-
rance, idleness, uncharitableness, vice, crime, and
every evil passion, and at the same time expect
or wish them to become the reverse,—there is
precisely as much wisdom in such expectation, is
to imagine, contrary to all the experience of the
world, that effects shall no longer continue to fol•
low their natural causes. To inflict, therefore.,
upon men pains and penalties for having vicious
qualities (more unfortunate for themselves than
others) which are produced in them by the exist-
ing circumstances, is to act upon notions devoid
of every pretension to sound judgment and ra--
tionality.
Q. Has all your practice been founded upon
these principles ?—A. Yes : and the results have
not once disappointed my expectations ; on the
contrary, in every instance, they have exceeded
my most sanguine hopes. It is not, as it appears
to me, to any natural superiority of mind,• or
early acquired advantages •(for I possess none),
that my success in these endeavours can be attri-
buted ; but solely to the accidental circumstance
of being enabled early in life to see, in part, the
important benefits that would result to society
from
.the adoption of the principle of prevention ;
and acting uniformly upon the well-known fact,
" that human character is always formed for, and
not by, the individual."

Q. How many complaints have been brought
before you by the inhabitants of New Lanark, in
your capacity of a magistrate for the county ?
A. Not one for many years past.

Q. Having turned your attention to the sub-
ject, to what causes do you attribute the distress
existing among the poor and working classes ?
A. To a misapplication' of the existing powers or
production in the country, both natural and arti-
ficial, when compared to the wants and demands
for those productions. ).luch of our natural,.
power, consisting of the physical and intellectual
faculties of human beings, is now not only alto-
gether unproductive, but a heavy burden to the
country, under a system too which is rapidly de-
moralizing it ; while a very large part of our ar-
tificial or mechanical agency is employed to pro-
duce that which is of little real value to society ;
and which, in its act of production, entails innu-r
merabie evils of the mot afflicting kind, at the
present time, upon the producers, as well as upon
a very large part of society ; and through the'm to
the whole of our population.
Q. Does your experience enable you to suggest
a more advantageous application of these proJtic-
rive powers ?—A. It induces me to say that tlicy
may be applied more advantageously for society,
and for the individuals ; that they may, with ease,
be so directed as to remove speedily the present
distress of the labouring poor, and gradually
carry the prosperity of the country to a point meet'
higher 0)141 it has ever yet attained.
Q. How can this be done ?—A. By formiag
well-digested arrangements to occupy the apparent
surplus of the labouring poor, who are copipetent
to work in productive employment, in order that
they way maintain themselves first, and after-
wards contribute to bear their proportion of 'the
expeuces of the State.
Q. Do the means exist by which employment
could be given to the unoccupied of the working
classes I—A. It appears to we that the country
possesses the most ample means to attain this 'ob-
ject, it they were called into action. Those
means consist of land unemployed ; land ithtpera
tectly cultivated ; money employed unprofitably ;
manual powers of labour demoralizing, and

consqtteraly genetatinc every Line...tit' evil in 'So-
ciety ; :Artificial or mechanical agene almost un-
limited, and which :night be made available for
the most important purposes. These are the
means, which, if Properly combined, and put into
action, would soon relieve the country from po•
verty and is attendant evils.
Q. How can they be put into action %—A. By
bringing them all into useful and profitable com-
bination, so as to create limited communities of
wividuals, on the principle of united labour and
expenditure, having their basis in agricnltwe, and
in which al shoUld have mutual and cointißin in-
terests.

Q. What are your reasons for recommending
such a combination of human powers The
knowledge that I possess of the very superior
2dvant ages which each person co,dd derive by this
means beyond any applic4tion of his owii excl.
tious for hi. own exclusive purposes.
Q. What are those superior advantages ?
A. Communities of from 500 to 1,500 persons,
founded on the principle of united labour and ex-
penditure, and having their basis in agriculture,
might be arranged so as to give the following ad-
vanrages to the labouring poor, and through them
to all the other classes ; for every real benefit to
the latter must come font the former.

All the labour of the individuals under this sys-
tem would he naturally advantageously directed—
first, to procure for themselves abundance of all
that was necessary for their comfortable sub-
sistence : next, they would obtain the means
.to enable them to unlearn many, almost all in-
Oeed, of the lhol habits which the present de-
fective arrangements of society hate forced upon
them : then, to give only the best habits and dis-
positions to the rising generation, and thus with-
draw those circumstances trout society which se-
parate mats from man, and introduce whets whose
entire tendeecy shall be, to unite them in. one gene.
rel interest, that shall be clearly understood by each
They will afterwards be enabled to cultivate the far
inure valuable, the intellectual part of their na-
tore ; that part which, when properly directed,
spill discover how much may yet be put into prac-
tice to promote human happiness.
They twill then proceed to create that surplus
which will be necessary to repay the interest of
the capital expended in the purchase of the esta-
blishment, including all its appendages ; or, in
other words, the rent of it. And lastly, to cons
tribute their full share to the exigencies of the
State, in proportion to the value of their proper-
ty. By these arrangements they will add a new
strength to the political power oaf the country,
that few ate yet able to estimate.
• Q. Should the arrangements you describe he
practicalile, many objections have been urged
against the plan ?—A. Inexperienced as the world
is in regard to the combinations here contem-
plated, I am- aware that many difficulties and
doubts tsi;l arise in most minds ; but if the ob-
jections be separately stated, they may he re-
; and an experience of neatly 30 years,
added to an unceasing, honest, and 1 hope un-
biassed attention to the subject, assures me be-
forehand that they may.
Q. Fur instance, can the poor and working
.classes be associated -together to act cordially in
any general measures, considering what is every
where evinced in the state of the workhouses and
houses of industry ?—A. Trained as the poor have
been, and arranged as even the best of those esta-
blishments now arc, such unfavourable results
Must follow. The poor exist previously in a state
of extreme ignorance ; and when they are brought
together moles- one roof, they are perpetually in
contact with each other, but without a single
pyineiple of union which they can understand.—
Owing ro the bad habits they have acquired, and
a want of proper instruction, they cannot discover
the mutual interest they have in each other's hap-
piness ; and as these houses are now constituted,
no effective arrangements can be made to over-
come the one, or to impart the other. Work-
Louses and houses of industry have originated
with those who had but a limited knowledge of
human stature, and who were also unacquainted
with the true principles of political economy. But
very different results may be made to ensue front
the establishment of these agricultural and mann-
&cutting villages ; most of the causes of opposi-
tion among the individuals thus associated will be
removed, and others tending to unite them iu good
offices and in one interest will be introduced.
Q. But will men in a community of mutual and
'combined interests, be as industrious as when em-
ployed for their individual gain i—A. The suppo-
sition that they will not, I apprehend to be a
cimmion prejudice, and not at all founded imfact.
Wherever the experiment has been tried, the labour
air each has been exerted cheerfully. It is found
that when men work together for a common inte-
rest, each performs his part more advantageously
for himself- and for society, than when employed
for others at daily wages, or titan when working
hV tire piece. When employed by the (lay, they
feel rio interest in their occupation bsyond the re-
ceipt of their wages ; when they work by the
piece, they feel too much interest, and frequently
overwork themselves, and occasion disease, pre-
Mature old age, and death. When employed with
others in a community of interests, both these ex-
tremes are avoided, the labour becomes temperate,
but efleetive, and may be easily regulated and
superintended. Besides, the principles and prac-
tices are now quite obvious, by which any incli-
nations, from the most indolent to the most in-
dustrious, may be given to the rising generation.
0..8ut will not the parties dispute perpetually
about the division and possession of the property ?
A. Certainly not. The labour and expenditure of
indiViduals are now applied so ignorantly, waste-
fully, and under so many disadvantages, that the
Bless of mankind cannot procure sufficient to sup-
port themselves in ordinary comfort, without
great exertion and anxiety ; they therefore acquire,
under the influence of a strong necessity, a tena-
cious love of that property which costs them so
much to procure ; thus making the feeling itself
appear, to a supetficial observer, as one implanted
by nature in the Constitution. No conclusion
can, however, be noire erroneous ; for if men
were placed in a situation, where, by moderate
cieenpatioo, • without came or agitation of mind,
they could procure the necessaries and comforts of
life in almtolance, they might be trained to dis-
pute as little about the division of thew as they

. .
nbiv du about the commonly attainable prOdricts of
natnre—such. as water ; neither would they have
a desire tO accumulate an unnecessary ril,:ntity of
the one, any more than they now wish tt excess
of the other. I might add, that under tiffs plan,
each individual sk(Otild soon discover that he pos-
seised more for his own enjoyment withaq any
anxiety, than he could have acquired under the
existing system among the poor, with all the cares
and troubles they now experience.
Q. But can these establishments be *ell Ma-
naged, unless by men of greal talents aud bene-
volence, Such 'rhea not being very immerods
A. Here also I may be,pertnitied to say, that a
ini:take exists, in, consequence of the principles
upon which this plan is !winded, and flo;itt to be
conducted, not being as yet sufficiently under-
stood. In the management of workhouses, &c.
there is no uni,y of action ; each part is so placed
as :o feel an interest at variance with the others;
they are, in fact, a compound of the same errors that
pervade common society, where all are so circum-
stanced as tocounteract each other's intentions, and
thus render even extraordinary energies and talents
of no avail, which, under another combination,
would produce tie most extensive and beneficial
effects. From my own experience, however, I
can aver that such means and regulations may be
adopted for the management of these villages as
would enable anyone possessing fair talents, so to
manage them as to give entire satisfactiOn to all
the parties under his direction and care, with the
greatest pleasure to himself and with unspeakable
advantage to the country. Numbers may he
found who would soon be competent to such ma-
nagement, and who would be satisfied with the
living and comforts these villages would offer,
without desiring compensation of any other kind,
and the annual expence of such living would not
amount to 201. in value.

Q. Is it not to be feared that such arrange-
ments as you contemplate would produce a dull
uniformity of character, repress genius, and leave
the world without hope of future improvements ?
A. It appears to me that quite the reverse of all
this will follow ; that the means provided in
these establi,ihments will give every stimulus to
bring ford► and to perfect - the best parts only of
every character, by furnishing the inhabitants
with such valuable instruction as they could not
accluire by any other ►neans, and by affording suf-
ficient leisure and freedom from anxiety to pro-
mote the natural direction of their powers : when
thus prepared by early imbibed temperate habits,
by an accurate knowledge of 'facts, and by a full
conviction that their efforts are directed for the
benefit of mankind, it is not easy to imagine,
with our present ideas, what may be accom-
plished by human beings so trained and so eircum,
stanced.

As for the probability of a dull uniformity of
character being produced, let us •for a moment
imagine individuals, placed as the inhabitants of
these villages will be, and contemplate the cha-
racters that must be formed solely by the circum-
stances that will surround them :—from the hour
they are born, treated With uniform kindness, di-
rected by reason, and not by mere caprice, weak-
ness, and imbecility ; not one habit acquired to
be again unlearned ; the physical powers trained
and cultivated to attain their natural strength and
health ; the mental factiltiei furnished
,with accu-
rate data, by all the useful facts that the inge-
nuity and experience of the world have acquired
and demonstrated, aided by the power of minds
trained to draw only', just and consistent conclu-
sions, and each left to deelaie freely those con-
clusions, compare them with others, and thus in
the most easy and rapid manner to correct any
errors that might otherwise arise ; children so
trained, men so circumstanced, would soon be-
come, not a dull uniform race, but brings full of
health, activity, and energy ; endowed, by means
of instruction, with the most kind and amiable
dispositions, and who, being trained free from
the motives, could not form one exclusive wish for
themselves.

It is only when the absurdities by which society
is now enveloped are in some degree removed,
that the benefit of these new villages can be even
in part appreciated.
So far from genius being depressed, it will re-
ceive every aid to enable it to exert itself with un-
restrained delight, and with the highest benefit to
mankind. In short, experience will prove that no
objection against the " new view of society " will
be found more futile than that which supposes it
not competent, nor calculated, to train men tosit-
tain the utmost improvement in arts, sciences, and
every kind of knowledge.
Q, Will not these establishments be expensive,
require a large expenditure in the outset, and can
such a capital' be easily obtained r--A. The ex-
penditure will prove the greatest possible economy,
and the capital may be had, without difficulty, as
rapidly as it would be required. A large and an-
ticipated revenue, occasioned by the war eXpen-
' diture in this and other countries, having ceased,
distress of the most grievous nature has ensued;
the only remedy that can be found will be a greatly
increased expenditure applied to tabour that will be
re-productive, equal, at least, to the interest of the
capital invested, and to the remuneration of the
labour employed, both physical and mental. These
estat,iishments offer means for the investment of
-capital on security that ought to be considered of
the highest value to the country. Every shilling
thus expended would be tuitional gain, create na-
tional improvement, find ample-support for, and
re-moralize the population employed, and return
five per cent. interest for the capital expended,
leaving the property annually and rapidly increas-
ing in intrinsic value.
• Did the situation of the country admit of such
a slow progress, I should be satisfied to see a few
these villages set on foot by way of national
experiment, well knowing that their manifold ad_
vantages, and superiority over every other plan
for the employment of the labour ins; elesses,would
he obvious to every capacity ; but I know that
the pectdiar circumstances of this country, and
Of Europe will not admit of this slow proceed-
ing. Value must be restored to Luanne' , labour,
and this cannot be done except by employment on
land. When the mode of effecting this shall be
fairly and fully before the public, they will readily
discover that there are no means within our pre-
sent knowledge competent to give to indi-victuals
and to the country iumninrablo adrortages

prevalent over the King of WURTEIWEEMG, luso•
much as to induce bin) to oppose the just elaims
of his subjects. -It appears that the Wurtembers
Troops are already ordered to adopt the ~Lama
of Russia, and hence it may be not unfairly in-
ferred, that Russian policy operates in the Go-
vernment. The complexion of the Joaruals of
the Netherlands shetvs sufficiently that foreign in;•
fluence prevuils io the Government of that Cou
try, otherwise the King would be more sensible
of his obligations towards Great Britain. it is
alleged that Russia also Las a powerful operatittt
over the Government of Prussia. If so, it is

time that the several States of Europe, and .par—
ticularly this Country, shoulJ begin to look about
