And^ secondly » That the reveiiaea of the London

be appropriated to a General Asylam (for Foreigneia
and Strangers as well as English) consbting of three se-
parate parts— viz. one for males, another for females, and
a third for families — where all indnstrioas persons, who
eannot elsewhere procnre work, shall find temporary shel-

the Governors of Christ's ^ospital, with proper allowance,
from the Corporation of London, for their being instructed
in separate inferior schook for mere reading and labonr.
The sick to be sent to St. Bartholomew's or St. Thomas's
Hospital, the disorderly to Bridewell, and the lonatioa
to Bethlehem, on the order of a joint Committee of
Governors, to be nominated by the Governors of Christ's^
St. Bartholomew's, St. Thomas's, and Bridewell, and Beth-
lehem Hospitals, selected from their respective lists of
Governors (viz. six from each list) by the Court of each
Hospitsl ; and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London^
for the time being, to be perpetnal Governors and Memtms
of the Committee; so that, by means of the Geneva!
Asylum, an effectual onion may be formed of all the Boyal
Hospitals ia the City whereby an immediate relief may be
obtained from any of their respective foandations..

ir the Courts of the said Hospitals^ or any of thein»
sboald neglect to nominate as proposed, then the Lord
Mayor and Aldermen of London may select the nnmber
wanted from the lists of Governors of the said Hospi-
tabf and nominate thence such persons to be Governors
of the General Asylum as they think will be most likely to
attend this charitable public service.
The Court of Aldermen to elect, from their own body,
a President; and the twenty-four Governors^ from the four
Royal Hospitals, to elect a Vice-President; and the
whole Committee of G^evernors to elect a Treasurer,
Vice^Treasurer, and Secretary. And that a Committee*
room be appointed at Guildhall, t^at the assistance of the
Aldermen may be more easily obtained.
Thirdly, That an experiment be made of the utility of
a College of Industry, to be established in the country, at
aome little distance from London, with twenty or thirty
acres of land annexed to it, as an appendage to the Ge-
neral Asylum, for the reception and employment of a part
of the poor people who want work. The proposer lately
sold a field of about four acres, to be appropriated to a
parish poor-house ; and he has reason to believe that poor
|>eople from the General Asylum, not accnstomed to work
in any manufactory, might be very profitably employed in
i^ricolture and gardening, but more particularly in raising
roots for the food and increase of live stock, both beasts
and fowls, and in the care and management of the same
which would be very advantageous to the public, though,
perhaps, at first attended with some extraordinary expense
to the City. This might be conducted on the plan Jpub-
Jished in the year 1686, ** for Colleges of Industry of alt
useful Trades and Husbandry," which is here annexed ;
but, with respect to those that have not been taught any
trade, and especially women and children, they may, ia
general, be employed in spinning ordinary thread and
jarn, to make clothing and bedding for the Asylum,, and

ako io washing and mending the clothes, and otberwise
assisting and providing for the helpless people in tlie
Asylam and several Hospitals.
Elderly women^ tamed of sixty years of age, that can
prodnce good characters for sobriety, honesty, and prti-
dence, may be entmsted with the inspection and care of
others, as matrons, and also as teachers in the infervM'
working*schools, when they have soflScient abilities.
Foarthly, It is proposed to solicit the assistance and
sabscription of private individaals, in order to render the
charity more general and effectaal ; and that each sobscri-
ber shall have a number of tickets for the reception of
distressed persons in the Asylam, in proportion to the snm
subscribed. The tickets to be parchased of the Com-
mittee of Governors before proposed, or at their office,
which might be established at Christ's Hospital, Bridewell
Hospital, or Gnildhall. A half-gainea ticket will afford
warm and clean lodging and necessary subsistence for one
man for twenty-one days ; a guinea ticket for forty-two
days, and so on in proportion ; whereby benevolent
persons will have it in their power to do more effectnal
charity to the poor than in any other way, and less liable
to abases. This fourth branch of the Charity may be
conducted on the plan " to prevent starving," proposed by
the late benevolent , except in the mode
of appointing Governors ; because it is necessary that a
Committee of Governors should be formed (as proposed
above) from the Governors of the several established
hospitals, in order to render the general relief of the dis-
tressed more immediate and effectual by such an united
Committee. Nevertheless, that as little deviation as
possible may be made from the plan of , the
nnited Committee might .with propriety select and appoint
some additional Governors from the list of volnntary
subscriber, viz. persons of unexceptionable character (in
the opinion of the general united Committee) who sball

obtained, to undertake the management of such additional

COMPARISON OF BRUTE ANIMALS WITH MAN.
A FRAGMENT.
A COMPARISON of the gratitude of brute animals with
that of mankind in general, for favours and kindness con-
ferred, affords abundant cause of censure on the latter,
whose general depravity, far exceeding that of the brute
creation, must be attributed to the fatal influence of ini-
mical spirits or demons over unguarded Inen.

Wfaen a scbool-boy, I had varioas animab, at dtfiemiC
times, under my protection, a* favoarites : and the affec-
tion even of the meanest of them^ a jack-daw, canaot poa*
sibly be described in words, so atrongl; as it was expressed
in die bodily exertions of the little animal, when he heard
my foot npott the steps of the house retarning frOBi school,
that he might hasten to meet me.
The same kind of gratitude I have often ejifMcieaoed
in dogs, not my own, in return only for a little common
civility and gentleness towards them, which they never
forgot.
But mankind in general, though they are rendered res-
ponsible, by the knowledge of good and evil, for all their
actions, words, and even thoughts, and ought, of course, to
be aware that all the benefits they receive are from God —
for ** in Him we live, and move, and have onr being,'' aa
St. Paul declared to the pagans at Athens, Actsxvii.9B —
yet multitudes of persons, both high and low, seem so
little sensible of bis continual presence, that they treat
even his Name with the most contemptuous disrespect
and ingratitude, by repeating it in the mo^t idle foolish
discourses almost at every sentence, thoogl^ God has de-
clared that he will not hold them guiltless that take his
Name in vain. By such ingratitude for the Divine favours,
inconsiderate men degrade themselves far below the brute
creation, even of dogs and jack-daws, which are never
ungrateful. .
'' Hear, O heavens ! and give ear, O earth ! for the
Lord hath spoken. I have nourished and brought up
children, and they have rebelled against me !'' And then,
immediately after, our Heavenly Father produces the
comparison of a contrary principle of gratitude in the
brute creation : ** The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass
his master's crib: but Israel doth not know ; my people
do not consider. Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with
iniquity, a seed of evil doers, children that are corrupters;
they have forsaken the Lord f— Isaiah i. 2— 4.

A similar preference was given to the mere animal
