ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OF
THE CITY OF LONDON AND PARTS ADJACENT.
instituted A. D. 1799.
RICHARD CLARK, Esq. Chamberlain of London,
President.

THE object of this Institution is to supply tIA Poor
of the City of London and Parts adjacent, during tike.incit-
zner.t Winter 'lontlis, wilt Coals and Potatoes at a reducesliniee,
viz. One tushel of Coals for Nine-pence, and Fourteen Pounds of
Potatoes for. Three-pence.
The lase Winter was more than usually severe, and the sufferings
of the Poor were, on various accounts, extremely great. Within
the bc::Atrits of the operations of the City Kitchen, the valuable
aid offer;:i. was felt, appreciated, and acknowledged. SEVENTEEN
TROOSANO THRXX liunnsto AND THISTY.ONL BUSHELS or Coats,
and Two !WADS= AND TIHRTV-SaNE THOUSAND Nixie HUNDRED
AND SEVEN:I.I'OUB. Pouting or Powroxs, were vended at reduced
Prices, to TRUSS THOUSAND SIX Hut/ease FASULHIS, whereby the
torts of Eichteen Thousand Individuals were cheered in the midst
of their misery, many of whom doubtless invoked the blessings of
Ewen; on the heads of their benefactors.

The Committee need not point out the immense advantages re-
r.lting to the industrious Poor from this Society, whilst no induce-
mean are held out to the idle and profligate; so that it may be
safely averred, that more direct good, with less attendant evil, is
elected by this Association, than by any similar Institution in ex-
ieence. Individuals of the Committee do know, from personal
irvestigation, that it has been the means of saving whole Families
from destruction.

The Committee beg to add, that the distribution of Coals and
Pctatnes commenced on Monday, fifth January, instant ; from
which date to the 30th inclusive, 3,643 Bushels of Coals, and
.17,738 Pouids of Potatoes, have been vended to the Pour.
The Committee would venture to recommend the Society to the
patronage :ma support of the Public at large, on the following
grounds:—While it issues tw•o of the most important Articles of
life, and of the best measure and quality, it calls forth the co-opera-
tion of the Poor to purchase them, with their own earnings, at re-
(laced prices. The Subscribers are their own Almoners, and the

vb 4,1,: of the Funds are employed in promoting the immediate oh-
itct fur which they ate contributed. While the Society, moreover,
benefits the I'oor, it does not degrade them, and a blessing is shared
both by the giver and receiver.
