while in consequence new dangers to every state must continually arise on every side.

On these grounds solely the Memorialist requests attention and co-operation.

He is now ready to communicate the full details of these important subjects to any or to all of the Powers whom he addresses, that, if those details shall appear on examination to be derived from facts and experience, as he presumes they will be found, the requisite measures to stop the progress of the existing distress among the working classes may be adopted, by the respective governments, before the period shall be past when the combined extended sufferings and knowledge of the people, will permit the requisite time for calm deliberation.

The Memorialist adds an appendix, which contains some of the general results which he has derived from long study, multiplied experiments on a large scale, and a personal communication with acute, intelligent and enlightened men of all classes, sects, and parties, more varied and confidential than has ever perhaps fallen to the lot of one individual.

And thus circumstanced, he awaits the deliberation and reply of the Power whom he has now addressed.

Frankfort, 20 Sept. 1818.

APPENDIX,

Containing some of the general results, derived from the Memorialist's long study and experience.

FIRST GENERAL RESULT.

THAT the period is arrived, when the means are become obvious, by which, without force or fraud of any kind, riches may be created in such abundance, and so advantageously for all, that the wants and desires of every human being may be more than satisfied.

In consequence, the dominion of wealth, and the evils arising from the desire to acquire and accumulate riches, are on the point of terminating.

SECOND GENERAL RESULT.

That the period is arrived, when the principles of the science are become obvious, by which, without force or punishment of any kind, the rising generation may be, with ease and advantage to all, surrounded by new circumstances, which shall form them into any character that society may predetermine; and if any defect shall afterwards appear in those characters, except what nature has made uncontrollable by human means, the cause will not be in the individuals, but it will be solely owing to the inexperience of the parties who attempt to put those invaluable principles into practice.

In consequence, the dominion of Ignorance, of Fraud and Violence, is also on the point of terminating.

THIRD GENERAL RESULT.

That it is the interest, and that it will soon appear to be the interest, of each individual, in every rank, in all countries, that judicious measures should be adopted, with the least delay, to secure these beneficial results in practice. It is however greatly to be desired that they should be carried into effect by general consent, gradually and temperately, in order that no party or individual may be injured by the changes which must necessarily arise.

In consequence, any attempt to stop or retard the Introduction of these measures will be unavailing. Already the principles and consequent practice are placed effectually beyond the power of human assault. It will be found, that silence cannot now retard their progress, and that opposition will give increased celerity to their movements.

THAT your Memorialist has addressed a Memorial to the Governments of Europe and America, on subjects deeply interesting to the wellbeing of all ranks in these countries.

That he has presented the said Memorial to many of the European Governments, and he will take the earliest opportunity to present it to the remaining Governments of Europe, and to the States of America.

That the said Memorial was a preliminary one, being intended to call the attention of the civilized world.

First, To the new and extraordinary effects proproduced by the introduction of improved scientific power into the manufactures of Europe and America,

and which has already materially affected the value of manual labour, and the health, comfort, and happiness of the working classes.

Secondly, To the overwhelming influence which experience has now given to the adult part of society, over the rising generation, to educate them, by the arrangement of new circumstances around them from infancy, to become the best characters for their own happiness, and the permanent good of the community to which they may belong.

That your Memorialist stated his willingness to develop the details of his experience on these important subjects, to all or to any of the Governments whom he addressed.

That as the unaided deliberations of Governments are necessarily slow, and the people are daily injured by the effects of the misdirected influence of the new power, and from the want of a well digested system of training and education, from infancy, applicable to every child of the poor; he deems it his duty, with a view to facilitate and accelerate the execution of an object which the Allied Powers have so much at heart, and in which their immediate interest is so deeply involved, to submit to Congress, as he now does, Preliminary Explanations of the three General Results, contained in the Appendix to the said Memorial, and which the subjects naturally divide into three parts.
