DISTRESSED LETTER PRESS PRINTERS
OF THE METROPOLIS.
IMPRESSED with seutiments of the deepest grati-
tude for the assistance already so generously bestowed, the
Committee most sincerely lament the necessity vrkkh impels them,
a second time, to address the Public in behalf of the UI4EM-
PLOYED PRINTERS OF THE METROPOLIS. The
Panting Business, which has for many months suffered an almost
unexampledlepression, still exhibits but little, if any, sight of a
favourable change), the wretched situation therefore of those Who
have for so kitig a period been deprived of the means of supplying
the urgent wants of their Families may easily be imagined; their
only supiort,ints been derived frog's the Contributions of the.lie-
nevolent, and the Subscriptions of such of their Fellow-workmen
is feenrined ib partial employment. Should this resource fail;
Ihbich 'Mt present 'exhausted state of the Fund renders mote than
t‘i;A6Aile„thr4 tan anticipate nothing from the approaching Winter
but the extrearity of human misery. To avert, if possible, this
impending fate, the Cboituittee most urgently appeal to the bust
inanity of a Brkl.h Public, trusting, that under such circumstances.
further assistance will not be withheld.
In thus urging the claims of their Distressed Itrethren, the Com-
mittee cannot deny themselves the gratification of adverting to the
important and inestimable benefits whisk the Pairrea, by the
'ekercise of his Ptofession, has conferred upon civilised society
when it is tonsidered how much the Art of Printing contributes
to the antiattlent and instruction Of mankind—and that, without
the instiumeutalityof THE PAESS, the sublime-at efforts of the

. •
human mind' would, in a general sense, boat been written in vain
—they ventule to espresso hope that the feeling which such re-
flections ate calculated to excite in the Minds of all in the least de-
gree attached to Literature, will of itself present the possibility of
an educated and respectable body of men, being utterly aluodboed
to poverty and despair.
The Committee think it their duty to state. that since the date
of their first Apical tb the Pub*, nearly SIX HUN DRkD
INDI VI DUA LS have received Relief from the Rind—the sum
awarded Weekly ter each Person was proportioned to the'number
of his Family—ranging from 3s. 6d. the allowance of a single man,
to los. the highest NOD that could be extended to the !host severe
and complicated case of distress. Though small, this relief was
most thankfully received; and the Committee can with pleasure
soy, that it has saved many Worthy men, and respectable Families,
from being reduced to the loVitsit degradation of poverty.
