Interefts of Humanity, by dire<Jting and fixing 

 the Attention to particular Objefts^ 



Many Ads of the moft beneficial Charity 

 have owed their Exiftence to thefe Societies: — 

 And Merit in Diflrefs might frequently have 

 palTed unnoticed, if there had not been a Body, 

 to whom it could make Applicauon with Con- 

 fidence of Succefs. 



Even in a political View, eonfidering this 

 Country as deriving infinite Benefit from the 

 emigration of Foreigners, thefe Societies have 

 their L fe. — They may afford Counfel and Aflift- 

 ance to Strangers upon their firfl Arrival, and 

 by leading them to Profperity encourage the 

 Emigration of others. 



Such being the Tendency and Nature of 

 thefe Societies in general — the Subfcribers con- 

 fider them as truly laudable, and being ail 

 either Natives of England or Defcendants of 

 Englifhmen, have agreed to form themfelves 

 into a Society, and be fubje£l to the follow- 

 ing Rules for the good Government thereof.
