The lecturer wishes it to be distinctly understood
that he is to give two lectures to one AUDIENCE
Attention is called this point, lest appointments
should be given for the two lectures in a town, at
two different places at such distance apart as to
Illustrate his plan.
Particular attention should be paid to lighting
the houses. If there be lights enough to fill
all parts of the occupied, they should be COL
lected, and elevated at short distance in front of
the speaker that he can at least see the express
sion of counenance of few of his hearers distinct
ly.
The Executive Committee of the Vermont Tenn
perance Society have issued the following Circular,
introducing the lecturer to the people, which take
the liberty to copy:
1.-The Executive Committee, oflhe Yer
mont State Temperance Society, in pur-
suance Of resolution, passed at its late
annual meeting, have engaged SAMUEL
| CHAPMAN, Esq. to lecture few months
in this State.
His Report of an examination of all the
Jalls and County Poor Houses, in the ff-
ty-nlne Counties Of the State of n. Y orl,
has, for four or five years, been before the
= people of the United States, and has re-
I Gently, with other American statistics
r been repubished in Europe.
He has for some months past, been en-
gagged in making investigations, showing
the immense waste of human life, annual
ly resulting from Intemperance. He
t therefore, comes before the public, prepar
v ed, not only to sustain all his positions BY
D facts, but having this additional advantage
; that he has collected them himself
His facts are of that vastly importan
and interesting character which, while
ln6V carry COlVlCllOIl w Tie ullHu, secure
o the attention of his audience.
n We have heard him repeatedly, an
ar can, therefore, urge upon you the impor
h. lance of taking efectual measures to civ
7 extensive notice OF his lectures-of urg
ing the people of all classes to attend
~ the friends of temperance, that they ma
OF be better prepared with facts and argr
u ments with which to operate upon othe1
I'd the lukewarh,, that they may have the
hearts warmed and excited 10 aclion--tt
no opposer, that he may see the hopeIessne
and folly Of his course-the drinker, tn
~ he may see the abyss of ruin that lies b
nd fore him-the vender, that he may S,
IL the tendencies and immoral character
lst the traffic.
~ You can assure the people that Mr.
. abuses no body-does not deal in denu
-, citation, and yet fearlessly tells the who
'' truth
TOT We, therefore, urge YOU not to let II
ed opportunity pass unimproved-such
ion one may not occur again. Make eve
son arrangement to render his visit please
llu and his Iabors profitable. We need ha
~ lv suggest, that you extend to him yo
VI Inequalities, that he may incur no uni
'ne cessary expense.
