The society to be formed of individuals of any country, whose
minds have been so enlightened as to have passed beyond the preju-
dices of all local districts, whose single object will be to ameliorate
the condition of man by shewing practice, how he may be trained,
educated, employed, and governed in unison with his nature and
the natural laws which control it.
It will be therefore a society to prepare the means to put an end
to war, religious animosities, and commercial rivalries between na-

By his late experiments in the United States he has discovered the
difficulties which the existing institutions and prejudices have created
in the present adult population to make the change from the old to
