      The Town . A Tale by Harriet Martineau . 1 * . The Town is No . 3 of * Poor Laws and Paupers illustrated . ' It ia one of the most complete and conclusive , as to the object of the tale , that the writer has produced . No accumulation of facts , or induction of consequences , could possibly convey a stronger conviction ( of course they would not be expected to produce so lively an impression ) of the way in which magistrates and vestries combine to mismanage the paupers and all that relates to them .

      A Letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons on [ the Measures required for the Immediate Relief and Permanent Benefit of the United Kingdom . Simpkin & Marshall . The plan of the author of this pamphlet is to pay off two hundred millions of the national debt by means of the crown lands , the ecclesiastical endowments , and other public resources , due provision being made for

      any useful public purposes dependent on such funds . The pamphlet is ably written ; but so long as rent is paid in the country it seems to us unreasonable to talk of an apprehended impossibility of paying the dividends . - Both morally and legally , the latter species of property is at least as sacred as the former .
