THE Subscribers will receive with this Report the Specimen of a series of publications, proposed to be made for the benefit of Seamen; the object of which will be to improve their religious sentiments and moral habits, to confirm them in the true and necessary principles of discipline and subordination, and to supply them with a practical and experimental knowledge of the most approved means, with the blessing of God, of effecting their own preservation, in those dangers, to which their situation peculiarly exposes them. 21st Dec. 1804, Extract from an Account of a Provision lately made for Employment of poor Females in No. CXX. Extract from an account of the Mortlake Friendly Society for Women. By the Rev. JOHN COLLINSON, A. M. IN IN August 1802, there was formed, at Mortlake in the county of Surry, a benefit society for Women; consisting of benefit-members, who are the objects of relief; and of honorary members, who receive no benefit themselves, but have the direction of the society, and the power of recommending one benefit member for each half guinea annually subscribed, or for every donation of seven guineas in one sum. These pay their year's subscription in advance, and also four shillings for admission fees. The number of benefit members is limited, according to the amount of the funds, so as not only to give permanency to the society, but to allow of a considerable increase of benefit to the poor members. |
