Extract of a Letter on the Proposed House of Industry p 255
at Nottingham
In a populous manufacturing town, a house of industry must always
be an object of much importance. In Nottingham, the insufficiency
of the present retreat for the poor, has long been a matter of
much regret; many charitable and well disposed persons have now
offered their assistance to remedy this inconvenience, by erecting
a House of Industry upon a liberal and extensive scale; and to
render their work as perfect as possible, they are anxious for the
advice and opinions of those most conversant with institutions of
this kind. Remembering to have seen, when in Edinburgh the new
Bridewell; and hearing of the excellent system on which other charities in that city were conducted, I am induced to ask of you,
either the plans, or the means of procuring the plans of these institutions, both in respect to the external as well as the internal
management, as any remarks on institutions of charity in general
will be thankfully received.
