they may be designed ; but the subscribers may depend 

 upon never being troubled with any future solicitations 

 on any pretence whatever, on account of the present 

 undertaking. 



A secondary object in forming this establishment, 

 and which will be attended to as soon as the measures 

 for feeding the poor and giving them employment are 

 carried into execution, is the forming of a grand re- 

 pository of all kinds of ^^,seful mechanical inventions, 

 and particularly of such as relate to the furnishing of 

 houses and are calculated to promote domestic com- 

 fort and economy. 



Such a repository will not only be highly interest- 

 ing, considered as an object of public curiosity, but it 

 will be really useful, and will doubtless contribute very 

 powerfully to the introduction of many essential im- 

 provements. 



To render this part of the establishment still more 

 complete, rooms will be set apart for receiving and 

 exposing to public view all such new and useful inven- 

 tions as shall, from time to time, be made in this or in 

 any other country, and sent to the institution ; and a 

 written account, containing the name of the inventor, 

 the place where the article may be bought, and the 

 price of it, will be attached to each article, for the infor- 

 mation of those who may be desirous of knowing any 

 of these particulars. 



If the amount of the subscriptions should be sufficient 

 to defray the additional expense which such an arrange- 

 ment would require, models will be prepared, upon a 

 reduced scale, for showing the improvements which 

 may be made in the construction of the coppers or 

 boilers used by brewers and distillers, as also of their
