Inhabitants and Citizeizs of Munich. 5 1 5 



the citizens and inhabitants of the town, with the name 

 of the street and number of the house they inhabit. 

 This register may be called an alms-book. It will be 

 presented to each inhabitant, that he may put down 

 the sum which he means voluntarily to subscribe every 

 month towards the support of the poor. The smallest 

 donation will be gratefully received, and the objects who 

 are relieved by them will pray for them to the Almighty 

 Rewarder of all good actions. 



As this charitable contribution is to be absolutely 

 voluntary, every one, whatever be his rank or property, 

 will subscribe as he pleases, a greater or a less sum, or 

 none at all. The names of the benefactors and their 

 donations will be printed and published quarterly, that 

 every one may know and acknowledge the zealous 

 friends of humanity by whose assistance an evil of 

 such magnitude, so long and so universally complained 

 of, will be finally rooted out. 



We request that the public will not oppose so sure 

 and effectual a mode of granting relief to the poor, but 

 rather give their generous support to an undertaking 

 which cannot but be productive of much good, and ac- 

 ceptable in the sight of Heaven. 



To convince every one of the faithful application of 

 these contributions, an exact detail both of the receipt 

 and expenditure of the institution will be printed and 

 laid before the public every three months ; and every 

 subscriber will be allowed to inspect and examine the 

 original accounts whenever he shall think proper. 



It must be obvious to every one, even to persons of 

 the most suspicious dispositions, that this institution is 

 perfectly disinterested, and owes its origin entirely to 

 pure benevolence and an active zeal for the public
