  Houses is the _least_ in those Counties where the number of
  Illegitimate Births is the _greatest_, and, _vice versâ_, the _greatest_
  where the Illegitimates are the _least_.

[3] Any person wishing for further information respecting these
Societies, may obtain it from a work published by Messrs. Low and Son,
entitled “London Charities.”

[4] The following circumstance may be regarded as an illustration of
this assertion:--

A girl is reported to have applied for admission into one of the older
Institutions in London for the rescue of the fallen. On examination,
however, it was ascertained that she had _not fallen low enough_ to
merit the assistance she craved, and she was accordingly rejected
because her moral character was not sufficiently depraved. Here, at
least, the greater the sinner, the greater the compassion!

[5] The Homes are situated in Nutford Place, Edgware Road; Hatton
Garden, Holborn; Blackfriars Road; and Woodland Terrace, Greenwich. The
Society is very inadequately supported, and is greatly in need of funds
to maintain its efficiency.

[6] Any one desiring further information respecting this truly
admirable movement, will do well to procure a little pamphlet,
entitled, “A Brief Sketch of the Origin, Aim, and Mode of Conducting
the Young Women’s Christian Association, and West London Home for Young
Women engaged in Houses of Business, 49, Great Marlborough-street,
Regent-street, London; in a Letter to the Earl of Roden, President of
the Association.”

Institutions are referred to a handbook containing authentic accounts
of the various Metropolitan Reformatories, Refuges, and Industrial
Schools, published by the Reformatory and Refuge Union. A magazine,
edited by a clergyman, price 3_d._ monthly, designed to awaken and
sustain public sympathy on behalf of the fallen, and to draw attention
to the most prolific causes, contributing to the extension of the
social evil.

[10] Mr. Mill’s mistake in ranking the Employers and Distributors among
the Enrichers, or those who increase the exchangeable commodities of
the country, arose from a desire to place the dealers and capitalists
among the productive labourers, than which nothing could be more idle,
for surely they do not add, _directly_, one brass farthing, as the
saying is, to the national stock of wealth. A little reflection would
have shown that gentleman that the true function of employers and
dealers was that of the _indirect aiders_ of production rather than the
direct producers. The economical scale of production appears to be as
follows:--(1) The Employer, providing the materials, tools, and shelter
necessary for the due performance of the work, together with the food
for the subsistence of the artificer during the work. (2) The Labourer,
fitting or preparing the materials for the artificer. (3) The Artificer
or workman, positively doing the work and creating a new product. (4)
The Superlative Artizan, engaged in adding to the beauty or utility
of such product. (5) The Distributor or Dealer, engaged in carrying
and disposing of the product in the best market. The functions of Nos.
1 and 2 generally precede production, those of Nos. 4 and 5 usually
succeed it; while No. 3 is the absolute producer. The labours of No.
4, however, are so intimately associated with the produce--sometimes
designing the work, and sometimes “finishing” it--that it seems but
right that the superlative artizan should be ranked with the artificer;
the mere labourer, however, who turns the wheel for the turner, or
carries the bricks to the bricklayer and the like, cannot strictly be
ranked as a _producer_ any more than a porter or dock labourer.

[11] At one time, however, murder became a _trade_ in this country,
namely, when the dead bodies of human beings grew to be of such
value that the burking of the living was resorted to by the
“resurrectionists,” as a means of keeping up the supply.

[12] The word Shoful is derived from the Danish _skuffe_, to shove, to
deceive, cheat; the Saxon form of the same verb is _Scufan_, whence the
English _Shove_.

[13] A Charley Pitcher seems to be one who pitches to the _Ceorla_, or
countryman, and hence is equivalent to the term _Yokel_-hunter.

[14] The titles of the classes as here given do not form part of the
original table.

[15] Those marked thus [15] are of a non-migratory character.

[16] The marriage institution is mentioned early in Genesis vi. 1, 2,
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born unto them,

“That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and
they took them wives of all which they chose.”

[17] The passage here alluded to is as follows:--

“Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at
thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest
peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt
in her father’s house.

“And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and
Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he
and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

“And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to
Timnath to shear his sheep.

“And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a
vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the
way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not
given unto him to wife.

“When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had
covered her face.

“And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let
me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in
law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in
unto me?

“And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt
thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?

“And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet,
and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is thine hand. And he gave it her
and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

“And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put
on the garments of her widowhood.

“And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to
receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.

“Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that
was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this
place.

“And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the
men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.

“And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I
sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

“And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah,
saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also,
behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth,
and let her be burnt.

“When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By
the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I
pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.

“And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous
than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her
again no more.”--Gen. xxxviii. 11-26.

[18] All this is based on the authority of the Bible. Elucidations also
have been afforded by “The Book of the Religion &c., of the Jews,” from
the Hebrew, by Gamaliel ben Peldahzur; “The Laws and Polity of the
Jews,” Sigonius, “Republica Hebræorum;” and the various commentators.

[19] Mary Magdalene, of Magdala, was not the sinner, the woman of
the city, who washed the feet of Jesus. She appears to have been a
reputable person, while the other had been a prostitute. What a lesson
is read to us by Christ’s behaviour to her!

Quintus Curtius.

[34] Occasional exceptions occurred. At one time there was no connubium

[46] A letter, published in the _Times_ in August last, announces the
disastrous defeat of the celebrated body of fighting women in the pay
of the King of Dahomey. The Amazons had advanced to the attack of
Abbeokuta, a town in the Bight of Benin, with the object of surprising
and carrying off the inhabitants, to supply the demand for slaves; but
the latter, being apprised of the approach of the female warriors,
turned out in force, repulsed them from the town, and in the course of
pursuit effected great slaughter amongst their ranks. More than 1000
are reported to have been left dead on the field.
