Excerpt from Pauperism in Great Cities; The Duties Which It Imposes, With Suggestions for Its Cure: A Discourse, Preached in the Third Reformed Dutch Church, Sunday Evening, January 11, 1857, on Behalf of the Northern Home for Friendless ChildrenThe following Discourse was not written with a view to publication. The Trustees of the Institution on whose behalf it was delivered, have preferred a request for the manuscript in such terms as the author could not reasonably disregard. If their expectations be realized, and its extensive perusal "prove of great value to the interests of their growing institution and of the community at large," he will not regret having yielded his own judgment to theirs. Especially will he rejoice if his remarks on "Pauperism in Great Cities," call forth a practical discussion of this most difficult subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
