Papers recommended to the mature consideration of the governors of the Marine Society. Shewing how the institution is capable of a most essential improvement; and how necessary it is for the corporation to adapt it to circumstances, and the design of the charter in peace as well as war. The object rightly comprehended is calculated to do good service to the community, and furnish exercise for the humanity and compassion of individuals, as long as we shall be a naval or commerical nation, being formed on a more extended scale, for active life, than any other institution in these realms. A peace establishment, with moral and religious instruction, and suitable employment, being necessary to the safety and welfare of these boys and the community, is proposed as the only efficient expedient of attending to the police and commercial interest of the nation.
