Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Account of the Free-School Society of New York A memorial for that purpose was accordingly prepared, and signed by about one hundred of the most public-spirited characters in the city. The designs of the memorialists were minutely detailed in this document. It was represented that there was a large number of children, who did not belong to, or were not provided for, by any religious society; and who, therefore, did not partake of the advantages arising from the different charity-schools, established by the various religious societies in the city. Destitute of all moral and mental culture, they were wandering about the streets, exposed to the influence of corrupt example, and at a time of life, when the impressions which are made, generally fix the features of the future character. From the want of a virtuous education, they were more liable to become the victims of those evils, by which public hospitals and almshouses are often filled with objects of disease and poverty, and society burdened with taxes for their support. The Legislature was therefore respectfully solicited to sanction the undertaking of the memorialists, by granting them a charter, and such pecuniary aid as they might deem proper.
