y8 fiJan for relieving the blind. Sept. lO.,- 



That the masters who are so generous as to offer their 

 \siboxiV gratis, be paid something for their trouble ; and it 

 is to De hoped tha.t that pay will increase, when the good 

 effects of the institution are seen. 



That the musical pupils be likewise taught some me- 

 chanical employment, as an agreeable variety, and that 

 they may earn something during the time they are learn- 

 ing music. 



That all the blind be taught church music who are 

 capable of it ; and it is proposed to have a sermon annu- 

 ally for the support of the charity, when the blind musi- 

 cians and singers will display to their benefactors, their 

 musical proficiency. 



That the blind be supplied with work by the managers 

 of the institution ; who are to pay to each artificer the 

 whole gains arising from his labour. 



That the most diligent receive rewards as an encourage- 

 ment, such as clothes, i?'r. 



That prayers be composed for the use of the blind, 

 adapted to their peculiar situation ; and that they be 

 taught these prayers, and other duties, every Saturday:- 

 that seats be provided ''or them, in one of the churches^. 

 where they may atteuJ divine worihip. 



That after learning their trades for six months, the blind 

 be incorporated into a society, each of whom is to con- 

 tribute twopence weekly from his gains, as a provision for 

 himself in old age or sicknefs j that he may, when sixty 

 years old, or disabled by disease, receive three or four 

 ftiillings weekly, as the afsociation box will afford. By 

 an example of this kind, it is hoped that those lazy sloth- 

 ful poor, who enjoy the sense of seeing, and yet choose, 

 to live meanly on common alms, will be covered with 

 fliame, and excited to industry.
