han the indictment in the case of the Crown against O'Connell and others. Mr. Cobden may be taken as its representative as indeed he is by one consent already. There may be no evidence; but that is not required. A judge and jury are all that is needed. And the Government know where to find them or they gain experience to little purpose. THREATENING LETTER TO THOMAS HOOD FROM AN ANCIENT GENTLEMAN MR. HOOD. SIR The Constitution is going at last! You needn't laugh Mr. Hood. I am aware that it has been going two or three times before; perhaps four times; but it is on the move now sir and no mistake. I beg to say that I use those last expressions advisedly sir and not in the sense in which they are now used by Jackanapeses. There http://www.41744.cn/ were no Jackanapeses when I was a boy Mr. Hood. England was Old England when I was young. I little thought it would ever come to be Young England when I was old. But everything is going backward. Ah! governments were governments and judges were judges in my day Mr. Hood. There was no nonsense then. Any of your seditious complainings and we were ready with the military on the shortest notice. We should have charged Covent Garden Theatre sir on a Wednesday night: at the point of the bayonet. Then the judges were full of dignity and firmness and knew how to administer the law. There is only one judge who knows how to do his duty now. He tried that revolutionary female the other day who though she was in full work (making shirts at three halfpence a Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 20 http://www.computer.org/ piece) had no pride in her country but treasonably took it in her head in the distraction of having been robbed of her easy earnings to attempt to drown herself and her young child; and the glorious man went out of his way sir out of his way to call her up for instant sentence of Death; and to tell her she had no hope of mercy in this world as you may see yourself if you look in the papers of Wednesday the 17th of April. He won't be supported sir I know he won't; but it is Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 25 worth remembering that his words were carried into every manufacturing town of this kingdom and read aloud to crowds in every political parlour beer shop news room and secret or open place of assembly frequented by the discontented working men; and that no milk and water weakness on the part http://www.OSTG.com/ of the executive can ever blot them out. Great things like that are caught up and stored up in these times and are not forgotten Mr. Hood. The public at large (especially those who wish for peace and conciliation) are universally obliged to him. If it is reserved for any man to set the Thames on fire it is reserved for him; and indeed I am told he very nearly did it once. But even he won't save the constitution sir: it is mauled beyond the power of preservation. Do you know in what foul weather it will be sacrificed and shipwrecked Mr. Hood? Do you know on what rock it will strike sir? You don't I am certain; for nobody does know as yet but myself. I will tell you. The constitution will go down sir (nautically speaking) in the degeneration of Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 2 http://www.adobe.com/ the human species in England and its reduction into a mingled race of savages and pigmies. That is my proposition. That is my prediction. That is the event of which I give you warning. I am now going to prove it sir. You are a literary man Mr. Hood and have written I am told some things worth reading. I say I am told because I never read what is written in these days. You'll excuse me; but my principle is that no man ought to know anything about his own time except

that it is the worst time that ever was or is ever likely to be. That is the only way sir to be truly wise and happy. In your station as a literary man Mr. Hood you are frequently at the Court of Her Gracious Majesty the Queen. http://www.columbia.edu/ God bless her! You have reason to know that the three great keys to the royal palace (after rank and politics) are Science Literature Art. I don't approve of this myself. I think it ungenteel and barbarous and quite un English; the custom having been a foreign Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 19 one ever since the reigns of the uncivilised sultans in the Arabian Nights who always called the wise men of their time about them. But so it is. And when you don't dine at the royal table there is always a knife and fork for you at the equerries' table: where I understand all gifted men are made particularly welcome. But all men can't be gifted Mr. Hood. Neither scientific literary nor artistical powers are any more to be inherited than the property arising from scientific literary or artistic productions which the law with a beautiful imitation Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 5 http://www.bc.edu/ of nature declines to protect in the second generation. Very good sir. Then people are naturally very prone to cast about in their minds for other means of getting at Court Favour; and watching the signs of the times to hew out for themselves or their descendants the likeliest roads to that distinguished goal. Mr. Hood it is pretty clear from recent records in the Court Circular that if a father wish to train up his son in the way he should go to go to Court: and cannot indenture him to be a scientific man an author Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 24

or an artist three courses are open to him. He must endeavour by artificial means to make him a dwarf a wild man or a Boy Jones. Now sir this is the shoal and quicksand on which the constitution will go to pieces. I have made inquiry http://www.mozilla.org/ Mr. Hood and find that in my neighbourhood two families and a fraction out of every four in the lower and middle classes of society are studying and practising all conceivable arts to keep their infant children down. Understand me. I do not mean down in their numbers or down in their precocity but down in their growth sir. A destructive and subduing drink compounded of gin and milk in equal quantities such as is given to puppies to retard their growth: not something short but something shortening: is administered to these young creatures many times a day. An unnatural and artificial thirst is first awakened in these infants by meals of salt beef bacon anchovies sardines red herrings shrimps olives pea soup and that description of diet; and when they screech for drink in accents that might melt a heart of stone which they do Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 17 Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 8 http://www.delta.com/ constantly (I allude to screeching not to melting) this liquid is introduced into their too confiding stomachs. At such an early age and to so great an extent is this custom of provoking thirst then quenching it with a stunting drink observed that brine pap has already superseded the use of tops and bottoms; and wet nurses previously free from any kind of reproach have been seen to stagger in the streets: owing sir to the quantity of gin introduced into their systems with a view to its gradual and natural conversion into the fluid I have already mentioned. Upon the best calculation I can make this is going on as I have said in the proportion of about two families and a fraction in four. In one more family and a fraction out of the same number efforts are being made to reduce the children to http://www.youtube.com/ a state of nature; and to inculcate at a tender age the love of raw flesh train oil new rum and the acquisition of scalps. Wild and outlandish dances are also in vogue (you will have observed the prevailing rage for the Polka); and savage cries and whoops are

much indulged in (as you may discover if you doubt it in the House of Commons any night). Nay some persons Mr. Hood; and persons of some figure and distinction too; have already succeeded in breeding wild sons; who have been publicly shown in the Courts of Bankruptcy and in police offices and in other commodious exhibition rooms with great effect but who have not yet found favour at court; in consequence as I infer of the impression made by Mr. Rankin's wild men being too fresh and recent to say nothing of Mr. Rankin's wild men being foreigners. Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 25 http://www.Blogger.com/ I need not refer you sir to the late instance of the Ojibbeway Bride. But I am credibly informed that she is on the eve of retiring into a savage fastness where she may bring forth and educate a wild family who shall in course of time by the dexterous use of the popularity they are certain to acquire at Windsor and St. James's divide with dwarfs the principal offices of state of patronage and power in the United Kingdom. Consider the deplorable consequences Mr. Hood which must result from these proceedings and the encouragement they receive in Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 8 the highest quarters. The dwarf being the favourite sir it is certain that the public mind will run in a great and eminent degree upon the production of dwarfs. Perhaps the failures only will be brought up wild. The imagination goes a long way in these cases; http://www.xoops.org/ and all that the imagination can do will be done and is doing. You may convince yourself of this by observing the condition of those ladies who take particular notice of General Tom Thumb at the Egyptian Hall during his hours of performance. The rapid increase of dwarfs will be first felt in her Majesty's recruiting department. The standard will of necessity be lowered; the dwarfs will grow smaller and smaller; the vulgar expression "a man of his inches" will become a figure of fact instead of a figure of speech; crack regiments household troops especially will pick the smallest men from all parts of the country; and in the two little porticoes at the Horse Guards two Tom Thumbs will be daily seen doing duty mounted on a pair of Shetland ponies. Each of them will be relieved (as Tom Thumb is at this moment Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 18 http://www.nsf.org/ in the intervals of his performance) by a wild man; and a British Grenadier will either go into a quart pot or be an Old Boy or Blue Gull or Flying Bull or some other savage chief of that nature. I will not expatiate upon the number of dwarfs who will be found representing Grecian statues in all parts of the metropolis; because I am inclined to think that this will be a change for the better; and that the engagement of two or three in Trafalgar Square will tend to the improvement of the public taste. The various genteel employments at Court being held by dwarfs sir it will be necessary to alter in some respects the present regulations. It is quite clear that not even General Tom Thumb himself could preserve a becoming dignity on state occasions if required to walk about with a scaffolding http://www.stats.bls.gov/ pole under his arm; therefore the gold and silver sticks at present used must be cut down into skewers of those precious metals; a twig of the black rod will be quite as much as can be conveniently preserved; the coral and bells of his Royal Highness the Prince of Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 25

Wales will be used in lieu of the mace at present in existence; and that bauble (as Oliver Cromwell called it Mr. Hood) its value being first calculated by Mr. Finlayson the government actuary will be placed to the credit of the National Debt. All this sir will be the death of the constitution. But this is not all. The constitution dies hard perhaps; but there is enough disease impending Mr. Hood to kill it three times over. Wild men will get into the House of Commons. Imagine that sir! Imagine Strong Wind in the Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 13

http://www.grants.gov/ House of Commons! It is not an easy matter to get through a debate now; but I say imagine Strong Wind speaking for the benefit of his constituents upon the floor of the House of Commons! or imagine (which is pregnant with more awful consequences still) the ministry having an interpreter in the House of Commons to tell the country in English what it really means! Why sir that in itself would be blowing the constitution out of the mortar in St. James's Park and leaving nothing of it to be seen but smoke. But this I repeat it is the state of things to which we are fast tending Mr. Hood; and I enclose my card for your private eye that you may be quite certain of it. What the condition of this country will be when its standing army is composed of dwarfs with here and http://www.movies.aol.com/ there a wild man to throw its ranks into confusion like the elephants employed in war in former times I leave you to imagine sir. It may be objected by some hopeful jackanapeses that the number of impressments in the navy consequent upon the seizure of the Boy Joneses or remaining portion of the population ambitious of Court Favour will be in itself sufficient to defend our Island from foreign invasion. But I tell those jackanapeses sir that while I admit the wisdom of the Boy Jones precedent of kidnapping such youths after the expiration of their several terms of imprisonment as vagabonds; hurrying them on board ship; and packing them off to sea again whenever they venture to take the air on shore; I deny the justice of the inference; inasmuch as it appears to me that the inquiring minds of those young outlaws must naturally lead Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 6 Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 7 http://www.usgs.gov/ to their being hanged by the enemy as spies early in their career; and before they shall have been rated on the books of our fleet as able seamen. Such Mr. Hood sir is the prospect before us! And unless you and some of your friends who have influence at Court can get up a giant as a forlorn hope it is all over with this ill fated land. In reference to your own affairs sir you will take whatever course may seem to you most prudent and advisable after this warning. It is not a warning to be slighted: that I happen to know. I am informed by the gentleman who favours this that you have recently been making some changes and improvements in your Magazine and are in point of fact starting afresh. If I be well informed and this be really so http://www.Blogger.com/ rely upon it that you cannot start too small sir. Come down to the duodecimo size instantly Mr. Hood. Take time by the forelock; and reducing the stature of your Magazine every month bring it at last to the dimensions of the little almanack no longer issued I regret to say by the ingenious Mr. Schloss: which was invisible to the naked eye until examined through a little eye glass. You project I am told the publication of a new novel by yourself in the pages of your Magazine. A word in your ear. I am not a young man sir and have had some experience. Don't put your own name on the title page; it would be suicide and madness. Treat with General Tom Thumb Mr. Hood for the use of his name on any terms. If the gallant general should decline to Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem http://www.cbsnews.com/ treat with you get Mr. Barnum's name which is the next best in the market. And when through this politic course you shall have received in presents a richly jewelled set of tablets from Buckingham Palace and a gold watch and appendages from Marlborough House; and when those valuable trinkets shall be left under a glass case at your publisher's for inspection by your friends and the public in general; then sir you will do me the justice of remembering this communication. It is unnecessary for me to add after what I have observed in the course of Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 12

this letter that I am not sir ever your CONSTANT READER. TUESDAY 23rd April 1844. P. S. Impress it upon your contributors that they cannot be too short; and that if not dwarfish they must be wild or at all events not tame. CRIME http://www.w3schools.com/ AND EDUCATION I offer no apology for entreating the attention of the readers of The Daily News to an effort which has been making for some three years and a half and which is making now to introduce among the most miserable and neglected outcasts in London some knowledge of the commonest principles of morality and religion; to commence their recognition as immortal human creatures before the Gaol Chaplain becomes their only schoolmaster; to suggest to Society that its duty to this wretched throng foredoomed to crime and punishment rightfully begins at some distance from the police office; and that the careless maintenance from year to year in this the capital city of the world of a vast hopeless nursery of ignorance misery and vice; a breeding place for the hulks and jails: is horrible to contemplate. This attempt is being made in certain of the most obscure Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem http://www.arizona.edu/ Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 24

and squalid parts of the Metropolis where rooms are opened at night for the gratuitous instruction of all comers children or adults under the title of RAGGED SCHOOLS. The name implies the purpose. They who are too ragged wretched filthy and forlorn to enter any other place: who could gain admission into no charity school and who would be driven from any church door; are invited to come in here and find some people not depraved willing to teach them something and show them some sympathy and stretch a hand out which is not the iron hand of Law for their correction. Before I describe a visit of my own to a Ragged School and urge the readers of this letter for God's sake to visit one themselves and think of it (which is my main object) let me say that I know the prisons of London well; http://www.statcounter.com/ that I have visited the largest of them more times than I could count; and that the children in them are enough to break the heart and hope of any man. I have never taken a foreigner or a stranger of any kind to one of these establishments but Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 29 I have seen him so moved at sight of the child offenders and so affected by the contemplation of their utter renouncement and desolation outside the prison walls that he has been as little able to disguise his emotion as if some great grief had suddenly burst upon him. Mr. Chesterton and Lieutenant Tracey (than whom more intelligent and humane Governors of Prisons it would be hard if not impossible to find) know perfectly well that these children pass and repass through the prisons all their lives; that they are never taught; that the first distinctions between right and Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 8 http://www.vmware.com/ wrong are from their cradles perfectly confounded and perverted in their minds; that they come of untaught parents and will give birth to another untaught generation; that in exact proportion to their natural abilities is the extent and scope of their depravity; and that there is no escape or chance for them in any ordinary revolution of human affairs. Happily there are schools in these prisons now. If any readers doubt how ignorant the children are let them visit those schools and see them at their tasks and hear how much they knew when they were sent there. If they would know the produce of this seed let them see a class of men and boys together at their books (as I have seen them in the House of Correction for this county of Middlesex) and mark how painfully the full grown felons toil at the very http://www.senate.gov/ shape and form of letters; their ignorance being so confirmed and solid. The contrast of this labour in the men with the less blunted quickness of the boys; the latent shame and sense of degradation struggling through their dull attempts at infant lessons; and the universal eagerness to learn

impress me in this passing retrospect more painfully than I can tell. For the instruction and as a first step in the reformation of such unhappy beings the Ragged Schools were founded. I was first attracted to the subject and indeed was first made conscious of their existence about two years ago or more by seeing an advertisement in the papers dated from West Street Saffron Hill stating "That a room had been opened and supported in that wretched neighbourhood for upwards of twelve months where religious instruction had been imparted to the poor" and explaining in a Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 16 Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 26 http://www.missouri.edu/ few words what was meant by Ragged Schools as a generic term including then four or five similar places of instruction. I wrote to the masters of this particular school to make some further inquiries and went myself soon afterwards. It was a hot summer night; and the air of Field Lane and Saffron Hill was not improved by such weather nor were the people in those streets very sober or honest company. Being unacquainted with the exact locality of the school I was fain to make some inquiries about it. These were very jocosely received in general; but everybody knew where it was and gave the right direction to it. The prevailing idea among the loungers (the greater part of them the very sweepings of the streets and station houses) seemed to be that the teachers were quixotic and the school upon the whole "a http://www.vox.com/ lark". But there was certainly a kind of rough respect for the intention and (as I have said) nobody denied the school or its whereabouts or refused assistance in directing to it. It consisted at that time of either two or three I forget which miserable rooms upstairs in a miserable house. In the best of these the pupils in the female school were being taught to read and write; and though there were among the number many wretched creatures steeped in degradation to the lips they were tolerably quiet and listened with apparent earnestness and patience to their instructors. The appearance of this room was sad and melancholy of course how could it be otherwise! but on the whole encouraging. The close low chamber at the back in which the boys were crowded was so foul and stifling as to be at first almost Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 26 http://www.about.com/ insupportable. But its moral aspect was so far worse than its physical that this was soon forgotten. Huddled together on a bench about the room and shown out by some flaring candles stuck against the walls were a crowd of boys varying from mere infants to young men; sellers of fruit herbs lucifer matches flints; sleepers under the dry arches of bridges; young thieves and beggars with nothing natural to youth about them: with nothing frank ingenuous or pleasant in their faces; low browed vicious cunning wicked; abandoned of all help but this; speeding downward to destruction; and UNUTTERABLY Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 14 Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 24

IGNORANT. This Reader was one room as full as it could hold; but these were only grains in sample of a Multitude that are perpetually sifting through these schools; in sample of a Multitude who had within them once and perhaps have now the elements of men as good http://www.infospace.com/ as you or I and maybe infinitely better; in sample of a Multitude among whose doomed and sinful ranks (oh think of this and think of them!) the child of any man upon this earth however lofty his degree must as by Destiny and Fate be found if at its birth it were consigned to such an infancy and nurture as these fallen creatures had! This was the Class I saw at the Ragged School. They could not be trusted with books; they could only be instructed orally; they were difficult of reduction to anything like attention obedience or decent behaviour; their benighted ignorance in reference to the Deity or to any social duty (how could they guess at any social duty being so discarded by all social teachers but the gaoler and the hangman!) was terrible to see. Yet even here and among these something had been Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 15

http://www.State.gov/ done already. The Ragged School was of recent date and very poor; but he had inculcated some association with the name of the Almighty which was not an oath and had taught them to look forward in a hymn (they sang it) to another life which would correct the miseries and woes of this. The new exposition I found in this Ragged School of the frightful neglect by the State of those whom it punishes so constantly and whom it might as easily and less expensively instruct and save; together with the sight I had seen there in the heart of London; haunted me and finally impelled me to an endeavour to bring these Institutions under the notice of the Government; with some faint hope that the vastness of the question would supersede the Theology of the schools and that the Bench of Bishops might adjust the latter http://www.news.xinhuanet.com/ question after some small grant had been conceded. I made the attempt; and have heard no more of the subject from that hour. The perusal of an advertisement in yesterday's paper announcing a lecture on the Ragged Schools last night has led me into these remarks. I Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 16 might easily have given them another form; but I address this letter to you in the hope that some few readers in whom I have awakened an interest as a writer of fiction may be by that means attracted to the subject who might otherwise unintentionally pass it over. I have no desire to praise the system pursued in the Ragged Schools; which is necessarily very imperfect if indeed there be one. So far as I have any means of judging of what is taught there I should individually object to it as not being sufficiently secular and Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 28 http://www.sites.google.com/ as presenting too many religious mysteries and difficulties to minds not sufficiently prepared for their reception. But I should very imperfectly discharge in myself the duty I wish to urge and impress on others if I allowed any such doubt of mine to interfere with my appreciation of the efforts of these teachers or my true wish to promote them by any slight means in my power. Irritating topics of all kinds are equally far removed from my purpose and intention. But I adjure those excellent persons who aid munificently in the building of New Churches to think of these Ragged Schools; to reflect whether some portion of their rich endowments might not be spared for such a purpose; to contemplate calmly the necessity of beginning at the beginning; to consider for themselves where the Christian Religion most needs and most suggests immediate help and illustration; and not http://www.cambridge.org/ to decide on any theory or hearsay but to go themselves into the Prisons and the Ragged Schools and form their own conclusions. They will be shocked pained and repelled by much that they learn there; but nothing they can learn will be one thousandth part so shocking painful and repulsive as the continuance for one year more of these things as they have been for too many years already. Anticipating that some of the more prominent facts connected with the history of the Ragged Schools may become known to the readers of The Daily News through your account of the lecture in question I abstain (though in possession of some such information) from pursuing the question further at this time. But if I should see occasion I will take leave to return to it. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT I will take for the subject of Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 18 Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 3 http://www.radio-canada.ca/ this letter the effect of Capital Punishment on the commission of crime or rather of murder; the only crime with one exception (and that a rare one) to which it is now applied. Its effect in preventing crime I will reserve for another letter: and a few of the more striking illustrations of each aspect of the subject for a concluding one. The effect of Capital Punishment on the commission of Murder. Some murders are committed in hot blood and furious rage; some in deliberate revenge; some in terrible despair; some (but not many) for mere gain;

some for the removal of an object dangerous to the murderer's peace or good name; some to win a monstrous notoriety. On murders committed in rage in the despair of strong affection (as when a starving child is murdered by its parent) or for gain I believe the punishment http://www.dhl.com/ of death to have no effect in the least. In the two first cases the impulse is a blind and wild one infinitely beyond the reach of any reference to the punishment. In the last there is little calculation beyond the absorbing greed of the money to be Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 24

got. Courvoisier for example might have robbed his master with greater safety and with fewer chances of detection if he had not murdered him. But his calculations going to the gain and not to the loss he had no balance for the consequences of what he did. So it would have been more safe and prudent in the woman who was hanged a few weeks since for the murder in Westminster to have simply robbed her old companion in an unguarded moment as in her sleep. But her calculation going to the gain of what she took Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 11 http://www.images.google.com/ to be a Bank note; and the poor old woman living between her and the gain; she murdered her. On murders committed in deliberate revenge or to remove a stumbling block in the murderer's path or in an insatiate craving for notoriety is there reason to suppose that the punishment of death has the direct effect of an incentive and an impulse? A murder is committed in deliberate revenge. The murderer is at no trouble to prepare his train of circumstances takes little or no pains to escape is quite cool and collected perfectly content to deliver himself Buy cheap webeasy pro 60 oem 28 up to the Police makes no secret of his gui
