A plan for the establishment of charity-houses for exposed or deserted women and girls, and for penitent prostitutes. Observations concerning the Foundling-Hospital, shewing the ill consequences of giving public support thereto. Considerations relating to the poor and th poor's-laws of England; Wherein the great Increases of Unemployed Poor, and of Thieves and Prostitutes, are shewn to be immediately owing to the Severity, as well as the Defects of our Poor's - Laws; and to be primarily caused by the Monopolizing of Farms, and the Indosure of Common Lands; which have likewise decreased the Number of People, and brought our Woollen Manufacturies into a precarious State, as is made appear by Extracts from several Laws and other Authorities. Also, a New System of Policy, Most humbly proposed, for Relieving, Employing, and Ordering the Poor of England; Whereby a great Saving may be made in the Charge of Maintaining Them; the Poor's - Rates be kept nearly Equal in all Parishes, as in Equity they ought to be; and every Pretence for wandering about Begging, be taken away. To which are annexed, Forms of the principal Accounts necessary to be kept for those Purposes, whereby such Persons as are not conversant in Accounting will easily be able to comprehend all that is here proposed on that Head. By J. Massie.

Seal of St Giles of Solop. it bears the figure of a Hind, by whose milk St Giles was supported in his desert. The squarish figure above may have denoted, but on this conjecture we do not insist; the clack-dish or alms basket with a clapper, which lepers were obliged to employ in begging charity standing "afar off", lest their touch should pollute the benevolent.
